Pretty standard stuff, but interests me more than what equipment people use at least-

Do you know what a track will sound like before you start?

What's the first thing you do when you start something new?

Do you tend to mix as you write or get ideas down quickly and sort it out later?

Do you have a signature technique that you find yourself using all the time? (as in something a bit unusual).

How do you split your time between sound design, writing the basic parts, arrangement, mixing, etc.

How much crap did you write before you came up with something you felt you could release?


Mouse head or robot costumes?

Has your music gotten you much action? Because mine hasn't. Not a sausage (if you'll pardon the expression).

errrrr!
ask if they use live 8.0.9 suite like you do,hahaha !
Ask how often they bother to update their forum signature.

Come to think of it. Computer specs in my signature? What was I thinking? What a fucking nerd. Should have been relegated to a world of warcraft board long ago.

Ok, I'm going minimal.

you have no day job but you write music,
that's more Pro than most of us!

as a Professional musician you should ask him for spare change or if he could pick up the tab for lunch.

trollbait him for us and ask which DAWs sounds the best and worst.

The only question that matters:

If a train leaves Chicago at 1 PM going 120 miles per hour and a truck leaves LA at 3:30 PM going 65 miles per hour, why are you hugely successful and I’m not?

No wonder you're more afraid of corporations than the government, they might give you a job and make you work :lol:

I guess when you're on the dole the council is your best friend...

I skimmed this thread, then the first featured pro is going to be Funken? I might be wrong.
