Hey Guys,
Like most of y'all, I've been into music at an early age. 17 to be exact.
Since then and now, some time has passed.
It's cool though because I've finally managed to just work on the day job
and work on music when I can find time (I wish I had more time for music though).
My work though I feel like keeps getting in the way.
Like I said, I want to make music my career (Not a hobby), however, it's hard as sometimes my work takes my time at home too (Internet marketing, bla bla). Then I get pissed off because I would rather spend that time spending more time working on my craft.
Is anyone else here in the same shoes?
Like you live on your own, pay your own bills, but are SERIOUS about
doing this music thing as a career but day job blues kind of get to you?
Maybe it's getting to me more as only now I'm taking learning my tools
seriously so the learning curve gets to me.
I'm in my early 30s which doesn't really help. However, Benny Benassi didn't come up
until 36 or so.
I'm using Logic X Pro (Super fun) but trying learn Massive, etc (If any professionals are here I would love to have a Skype tutorial on Massive).
So yeah it's just annoying balancing a job where you are not sure when you are going to get fired from and then trying to learn music tools from pretty much the beginning and on your own . . . How do you guys deal with it and keep moving on?
So to sum it up.
Afraid of getting fired from my day job? (Boss keeps avoiding probation review)
Afraid of the age thing (Music taste is still super relevant. I love music)
Getting frustrated with the learning curve of Logic and especially making proper EDM Synths.
How would you deal this if you were in my situation?
Like I want to make PROFESSIONAL music. Feel free to be as honest as possible.
Thx!
