So €1000 badly spent is quite some money for just a hobby. Plus I only want to work with a workflow that is fun to me. Working on the MPC 2500 also has been fun to me, so I hoped working on the Live would be fun for me too.

So I’ll take my loss, stop bitchin’ and grap the cash I can use to get a new laptop and move on.

The question is why is it only a Hobby? I've listened to some of your music and you should take the steps to make it a career. You have good ears. What's holding you back!?

Thanks for the compliment. I feel like I'm just coming of age after 10plus years of practice. For some reason I wasn't able to grow last couple of years up till a half year ago. For the last couple of months I focused on learning how to produce in key and improving my knowledge on chords and scales and applying that to my workflow. So only for the last couple of months I'm starting to feel like a decent beat maker.

I must also admit I suck at self promotion. I was a personal trainer for 10 yrs, and I noticed that not the best trainers had the biggest clientele, but the trainer who has the loudest mouth. That's just not me. I just grind without talking bs.

But things may will change in 2020. My best friends sister is the most streamed Dutch female artist here in the Netherlands, mostly urban/pop orientated. She started her own label last year. I will do a few beats for a new artist in 2020. The 16/ 17yr olds are starting to listen to that old school hiphop again, so I might have an opportunity here.

But for now I'm not getting paid, I still have a lot of fun in the lab and I know what my weapons of choice will be in 2020. Partly because of what you preach here on the forums. Lot of times gear doesn't mean shit if you don't focus on improving your skills.

Check your PM, when you have the chance.
