The blog was kind of slow today ’cause of course, it’s Christmas and I’ve been busy spending it with my own family and stuff. I wanted to take the day off writing controversial and negative things so today I’ll keep it positive.
I got some pretty nice gifts. I just got a few new books to read, a few movies on Blu Ray (“Expendables 3” and Disney’s “Maleficient”) and I also got “The Evil Within” video game for the PS3.
I also got a whole new computer and a much better one w/ Windows 7. I needed a new Windows software since Microsoft killed XP earlier this year, remember that??? So this means that I gotta get a whole new music recording rig for my PC. I gotta get a new DAW software that supports Windows 7. I’ll also need a new M-Audio Interface with MIDI so I can hook up a MIDI controller with it. Then I’ll need studio speaker monitors (not computer speakers). I’ll start saving for this stuff in 2015 which is gonna take some time. I don’t know what DAW software I’m gonna get, yet. I’m thinking of going for the latest edition of ProTools. I’m sure there is something more affordable then that but I’m gonna research into it more. In the meantime, I think I’m gonna start hunting for a job in 2015 so I can save up for this stuff even faster.
While getting gifts from your family and friends is fun, the most important thing about Christmas is spending it with family. I just love the Holidays and celebrating it.
Hope you all are having a great Holiday today and Merry Christmas!

You shouldn’t have to be new stuff. Typically anything that ran on XP will run fine in 7
Well my old Music Creator 5 doesn’t support Windows 7. I tried installing it on this new machine and it won’t work. My old ProTools Academic that was released in 2006 won’t work either. So yeah, I think I’m gonna get a whole new recording rig. I’m aiming for something better and more professional sounding anyways. I’m gonna learn MIDI so I can learn how to create my own backing tracks for full band rock songs. That’s something I’ve always wanted to do and wanted to learn.
