33...

37 here...and feeling strange...too old for the 'hey let's put a band together!' game, and young and free compared to friends and associates who are strapped with kids and mortgages. my wife is a dance teacher and choreographer, so whatever hair i get up my butt about being musical and creative...she just says "cool! go for it!". and she's older than I am!

strange to get mistaken for 10 years younger than you are.

wanna feel young? go on a cruise...we just did. talk about feeling like 'spring chickens'.

best,
rich

i am 1023 yo

54....been playing guitars and keyboards since the early 1960's.....I have grown kids...once they went off to college, I had much more free time in the evenings....I decided to get into digital audio recording.....LIVE was my introduction.......When I was 19 (1969), it was a great luxury to have a two track reel to reel tape recorder....you cannot imagine how thrilled I am to have a modest home studio with a couple of guitars, a few synths, and a Mac laptop......I use LOGIC, too, mainly for its virtual instruments......but I'm enamoured with LIVE........I just made my first CD (14 tracks all with LIVE) to send to friends, musicians I've played with over the years, etc......I am thrilled and delighted with LIVE and all of the incredible musical opportunities presented by the digital world....

One word of advice (for whatever its worth)...make sure you spend a decent amount of your musical time working with acoustic instruments, too.....the key to understanding harmony is to hear resonance, and the best way to hear resonance is by playing acoustic instruments......

35, bitches. Where's my Live 4!

So who IS the oldest user on the forum? Sounds like 49 is the oldest guy yet.

Wise words.

It's taken us thousands of years to perfect acoustic instruments, and electronics have been around for what, a century at most? It doesn't take half a brain to realise why acoustic instruments are superior.

And I personally cannot understand how I can be expected to buy food and shelter when I don't even have a decent piano...

I'm 46, but I feel like I'm 22.

i just turned 31,

... and this thread has reaffirmed that i'll be making music for a long time to come yet ...

38 ... as this thread shows ... dinosaurs aren't death yet ...

36........and my girlfriend is 17.....ha ha ha

i know some 17 girls that look like 71...

I can't believe I'm not the oldest (living?) Live user...

I will turn 53 years old this month. I did mainly MIDI for years, then got into digital recording with the Roland VS recorders. It took a while before PCs or Macs were really powerful and yet inexpensive enough to do serious production work.

My first major audio program was Reason 1.0. But once I learned about Live I pounced on it and as I have said often in this forum I mainly use Live with Reason instruments.

I have hooked up Live with Bidule but for my uses Reason can do much of what I would ask VSTis to do.

Just to win this contest, I am gonna show my Mom how to do some elementary stuff on Live... She's turning 70. By this time next week, all you yung'uns are outta the running!
