Sure thing.
Unless you have a representative for your music (manager, etc...), you will have two alter-egos.

Alter-Ego-One -
the hussler/hussler-ette. This is the side of you that represents your music, and handles all the business aspects of it. Here is where you have to "take yourself seriously". Let whoever you are dealing with know that your the real deal. Ultimately, wether you dig it or not, you are a sales-person. You need to be in order to get your music heard.

Alter-Ego-Two-
the artist. This is the "don't take your music seriously". This means that when your in the studio, or at your crib making music.. HAVE FUN. Don't go into a session thinking about making a hit, or making that "fab" demo that gets you a deal. Go in there, make some sh*t that you feel, have fun with it. If your writing/producing and the whole "making it" factor is in your head at the time... it could show in your music. Have fun, experiment, don't be afraid to try some crazy stuff (funky microphone placements, sample some weird stuff, etc...). Make music that you feel, and ultimately others will feel it too.


krush groove; That damn 307 !
In like 2001 I got into a bad car accident and had to sell all my gear to cover all the hospital bills, and legal fees. I sold my MPC's, my synths, EVERYTHING... after about 2-3 weeks with no music gear I had to get something that had a little bit of everything... and BOOM... the 307 was the perfect fit. Since then I've been through plenty of gear, and I've tried to sell the 307, but everytime I'm about to take pictures for ebay, I hold back. The sounds in it are DOPE. I use it sparingly though. You still use yours ?

Hey prospect, what type of desk is that? I've been looking for a big professional desk and that looks pretty nice.

Did you add racks in the middle? Because on the site it doesn't show any racks. It also looks a whole lot smaller on that site too.

EDIT: never mind, I see there's different sizes
