I am a life-long music student - and have been in pro bands (ie, we got paid...), but mainly have only made music because I have to since age 4 or so. For whatever reason, I cannot leave music alone - I have to write, write about, play, study and listen to it as much as possible

I'm currently working with a work colleague who owns a PC/Sony Acid-based studio, around 11 keyboards, an Antares box and 2 Pod XT Pros.

We're getting better...

I have been a pro and semi pro musician for the past 20 years working for prog and non prog bands as both band member and crew. I play a few instuments and have my own studio and I'm currently in a prog band. Wouldn't mind learning the Chapman Stick but right now, I don't have the cash.

I use Pro Tools, Cool Edit Pro (and excellent editor IMO - Utah Man) as my main software.

Theremin ! That is Cool

"crappy recording program" = ?
So I know what NOT to use...

I use Cool Edit Pro & Cool Edit 2000.  Very good software.  It was produced by a company called Syntrillium, but I think they got bought out by Adobe.

wanna-be pro, and an at-home-messing-'round-in-my-spare-time player

bass, i can noodle around with guitars and piano based instruments but i wouldnt dare claim i can play at all.

at the moment its all for fun, but myself and a few friends are planning to get serious later this year, and with how much time i already devote to music, its going to be pretty serious.

Have you recorded your own compositions ?  Got samples online ?
What instrument(s) do you play ?
What instrument(s) do you wish you could play ?
Do you play Prog or another type ?
