So my situation,
Long term unemployed for medical reasons, not as serious as it sounds but still been out of long term employment for 5 years and probably wont be back in work for another 3 years really...lets not go into details.
Im from a computing/programming background but not worked in that field for years as stated. Will add something in my signature to show what kind of skill ive got at the moment.
Id like to get back into music as a hobby but knowing what to learn is an issue, id like to work up to maybe performing on the local circuit and get on the lower side of being paid for a show a month or 2. Like get paid enough that im not loosing money in expenses to perform at a minimum you know what i mean ? Like a hobby that pays a bit. I think that a realistic and positive goal for someone in my situation who isnt trying to make a career out of it.
Ive recently rediscovered my passion for music, set myself up a basic home studio consisting of the following:
FL studio licensed copy
Plenty of VST's etc
Decent computer
Midi controller
Studio monitors
Audio interface
XLR RODE NT1-a mike
My question is what do you decide what you need to learn and how direct your time and studies of music to improve? I have a vague idea but need it to be clarified. Thinking that setting myself weekly goals for what tutorials i want to do is a good idea.
