Yeah, but you're the one crying about it, not me. I'm fine thanks, I live in the most expensive part of one of the most expensive cities in the world and i owe nothing to anyone, i dont even own a credit card.

I have worked hard for 30 years starting with just an HH ICL 100 watt combo, a cheap s/h drumkit, 2 crappy dual concentric 12" speaker boxes which cost 60 quid, an old crown 100 watt amp and 2 cheap mics in a dingy basement running a crappy cheap rehearsal room for local bands, and I now own a company with investors in various countries.


i would suspect that 99% of the older experienced people on this forum running pro studios or other related media companies and making a living in this industry actualy spent years and years and years working their bollocks off, starting with nothing but a few bits of gear and a passion for the technology, and they didnt think they could sit on the sidelines waiting for some golden moment when they could waltz in and start to earn a pro living from the get-go.

it's the same with many product companies and boutique gear companies who started in small lockups or office rooms or from home or in a garage (dell or gateway computers for example or native-instruments or Access synths etc etc).


Maybe you need to roll up your sleeves and get your hands dirty and start small and work at it for 10 years?

or the more realistic option... get a bunch of people on a music forum to change the world so you can get a job.

whatever
