One synth to rule them all?

Yeah, I know what you mean. I'm being serious about music for the last couple of years. But it took me an entire year to get an EP to an almost complete state - that's what I was doing on the mac. That's the best music I have done so far, but, like you say, I'm not willing to show it until it's fully finished - which I imagine will happen sometime this year.

But I have other stuff I don't mind showing. Been doing this for a while and I think my productions are nothing to be ashamed of. Overall I feel that this started as an hobby for most of us, but later it gets more serious. And one step in that direction is actually showing the music and stand by what you do. So I can totally get Berni's point here. It's quite easy to lose focus, get dragged into endless experimentations and never get anything done. I know that because that's how it was for me, for a very long time. I was studying fine arts to, so I couldn't really focus much on it, anyways. But things started to change once I got into the mindset of composing real music, whole tracks, the whole story, and then figuring out how to build a set from those creations, the bigger picture. Doesn't matter if you're planning on making profit from music, playing gigs, just sending some tracks to compilations or selling them on the web; what's important is that you get into the right frame of mind, so as to make something of the time you've invested in this music thing. Could even be just to yourself, but it's always good. Changes everything
