U-he giving away a free experimental reverb

Didn't you say you were in a band though? You were around a bunch of other musicians and their gear. I don't even live near a musical instruments store.

I grew up around guitars in general. Its just normal to me to have an es175 and a bassman sitting around the family home like furniture. As well as keyboards, a clarinet, you name it. I feel all weird walking into a house with no musical instruments. I have an uncle by marriage who doesn't play anything but his living room still has a beat-up old 00 acoustic as a decoration.

I grew up around cheap Casio keyboards. Remember those kiddie keyboards that came with like 50 ''styles''? Now it's Yamaha that makes those. Almost everyone in my family played around on those.

I had both a casio and a Yamaha with the built in speaker and cheesey fake drum beats (as well as the famous "auto chord" function). I probably still have the old Yamaha somewhere....

Oh yeah, I remember that auto-chord thing. It feels great to be able to reminisce at 17!

17 years ago I was already in art school. way to make a guy feel old here. I think I already ahd my 1st recording studio job that year too. Jeez.

You had a studio job already then?! Way to make me jealous. I almost got an intern job this past summer for a real professional, experienced, recording/mixing/mastering engineer (I think mixing was his main thing), but he couldn't do it in the end.

yeah, my friend in highschool was dating this oldster who ran the philly goth scene (eew, pedophile) and he told us about this Cure/Rave Dj mashup thing going on at the skyline and the guy who was throwing it had a technical probem so I got in and did some soldering for him so that both dancefloors had functioning sound systems... we started hanging out a lot and when I turned 18 he gave me my 1st pro music gig

I also played bass in his industrial band for a while

the secret of getting into stuff like that is to be a bad teenager and go out all the time, blow off school, etc.... it doesn't pay in the longrun for most people though, once you get the opportunities rolling in things still need to go right for you every step of the way in order to make a reasonable living at it

If I had it to do over again I woulda focused on my studies instead of being cool, making music and having a good time and I woulda become an intellectual property lawyer. Hindisight is 20/20.

Ah, I'm not really planning on making a living from music. Unless I ''blow up'' in the EDM scene that is (the chances of that happening aren't high enough to plan life around that though). I did do the skip high school thing though. Probably more thoroughly than most teenagers. For different reasons though. I'm getting my GED and going to college next semester.

Yeah, music being heavily connected to that, makes sense.

Edit: Sorry for all the periods ;)

Make sure you can write a term paper with proper citations and make sure you have better-than-GED level math skills before you start.... my ex-wife skipped more school than me, dropped out, took the GED, aced it, did okay on SATs and ACTs and went to Ohio state for a semester or 2 but found herself totally unprepared even though she's no dummy. Finishing highschool, even if you coast through and fuck off a lot like I did is still preparing you in ways no standardized test can accurately assess. Without school, the burden is on you to have a college level skill set. Maybe you do, I dunno, just giving you some free advice. No offense meant if it doesn't apply to you.

Yeah, I'm going to have to work something nuts to pull it off, but I don't really have anything else to do. I'm naturally able at math, but you've still actually got to go through everything and spend time on it. My writing... well I guess you can see from here; not very good. The college that I'm going to should have some help for catching up etc. so hopefully I'll make it through alive.

And yes, I can use all the free advice I can get.

the college catch-up remedial classes are not always up to snuff. Brace yourself, you have your work cut out for you.

Make sure you can at least do trig and college algebra before you start college even if it means taking a community college summer course or two to get up to speed. I took a bunch of community college math because I didn't get past trig1 in highschool. I learned a lot better in community college than I did in highschool OR actual college classes. On the other hand, even the best community college writing class is not worth a damn and makes highschool English look like an impressive curriculum. If you ever need help feel free to ask. I scored a perfect 800 o the SAT verbal twice (second time to win a bet and prove a point, god I was such a little shit) and really know what I am doing with term papers, essays, you name it. I am not the most poetic writer all the time, but for your purposes I might be able to help you out when you need a proofreader or help with formatting.

Thanks! I may actually need to take you up on that offer, eventually. Weird how this thread started off about an experimental reverb.

which I still hven't used

; ) I haven't even downloaded it yet.

I might play with it before bed and write a review.

"I use this to add verb, yo"

LOL to you, young master, LOL and huzzah!
