How Pro Tools changed my music life!!!

MathMusick · Post by **MathMusick** » Wed Sep 13, 2006 4:17 am

A couple of years ago I purchased Protools Mbox and Reason simply because my best friend is a professional engineer out in HollyWood and he gave me advice to do so. Prior to this i used my DX7 and Kurzweil K2500 to unproductively hash out a few ideas here and there. Well i opened the Pro Tools box and installed and shortly after began working with the included software called Ableton Live Lite4 well from there I upgraded and have not looked back. I would like to thank Ableton for the most wonderful and intuitive music program ever invented at least to this traditional musician and for saving me the many hours and headaches of dealing with Pro Tools. Anyway the moral of this topic is at least Pro Tools was good for something. For all those people that are constantly whining about Live having too much of this and not enough of that I say fine if u dont get it but that is no reason to balspheme this great product for lack of knowledge and laziness (Read The Fucking Manual) If i can get it anyone can PEACE!!!

Note i never questioned the quality of Pro Tools. Just unlike alot of musicians on this site I play music for a living I have already played over 150 gigs this year and i dont have alot of time to waste. I create and play music I am not a producer nor am I an engineer. So I appreciate a program that i dont have to go to school to learn correctly.

Hollywood Blockbuster

I vote for Jessica Alba as the sympathetic girlfriend who pays the rent until the big break...

Don't forget, "The Goose Character" (hero's best friend who is funny and non-threatening) has to die just before the final reel so that the hero can get righteously indignant and overcome the bad guys and/or realise his dream.

We need a MONTAGE!

I didnt say i was a struggling musician did I. However if Jessica Alba plays the part I definatly would be in too play the part of myself.
