    Hear that music in there? My laptop hated it. I tried a screen recording to show the cool little lines moving around, but it wasn't happening.

    I need a new computer if I'm going to do music seriously. But it's not just a computer: none of my tools are up to the task. I've squeezed all I can out of them over the last five years, and I'm at the limit.

    Toss some money in there and let's make some dang music.

    Thank you.

      What I want: to do music full time for a year with the tools I need to be effective at it. I want to reach the end of 2019 with enough income to not need to work another job ever again. The problem: My existing non-traditional sources of income--tiny payouts for older projects, mostly--currently...

      If only I had money to hire a fancy marketing research firm to figure out why this isn't going anywhere

        "Why do you need such a fancy computer that you need $10,000?"

        It's true that a poor artist blames their tools. I can't deny that I got this far on a laptop meant for office work and a DAW meant for live recording.

        But here's the thing: people who go to the trouble to comment on my music say it's some of the most unique and interesting stuff they've ever heard.

        Unique and interesting means complex. It plays well together. The next level needs a bigger boat. 1/2

          So that means I need a computer that's comfortable and powerful. I need something I can actually take into another room and plop down on a couch with. I need something that's not going to glitch up on me with 30 seconds of buffer because I'm running 8 Serum instances trying to figure out what to do.

          I'm aiming for a decked out Surface Book 2. That'll help me get serious about art, too! It'll probably last me 10 years.

          Plus, I want BitWig Studio and a Maschine.

          2/2
