Lifelong learner
Hi all,
I have been following this forum from the sidelines since September of last year, so I figure it is time to say Hello here from Denmark.
Being a computer programmer who transitioned into project management, I missed the creative side of creating something daily. During the first lockdown last year, I decided to convert my office into a small home studio to play music on the piano and try my hands at composing music in my spare time.
After a lot of research, I bought a Native Instruments M32 keyboard and Cubase Pro as a start. Since then, I have slowly but surely added more equipment, libraries, and courses to my arsenal per your great recommendations and reviews in many threads.
I am amazed by the sheer amount of knowledge present here. It has been a steep learning curve not having any formal music education, and even though I am still a complete novice, I have learned a lot already. Hopefully I now have a vocabulary to start asking questions of my own.
Thanks to You all for sharing your knowledge and tips.
GAS is real and needs to be constantly managed - I discovered the seasonality of the best deals - around BF and Christmas, and then again during the summer sales. Off course 8Dio keeps you on your toes with the constant sales. I would like to extend a special thanks to @Markrs @doctoremmet and @TigerTheFrog for alerting me to some amazing bargains.
Best regards,
Ulrik
