...I don't want to leave.
My parents said that if I didn't pull together $10000 by the year 2020, I'd be kicked out of the house, with no resources whatsoever.
Additionally, they said they'd force me to get a job doing manual labor if I don't start pulling in money by next summer.
I LOVE making music. I can't stop making music. If I get a job, then layered on top of school and my 8800 square foot garden that my dad insists must be perfect, I'd barely even have time to sleep, let alone make music.
Up until this point, I've never even looked at a piece of software that wasn't open source. I've gone over three years doing this, and at least 9000 hours on it. I think it's actually around 11000 hours.
But, now I have to leave.
I've been *so close* to becoming professional, for such a long time. But, the amount of skills I was gaining was rounding off at a logarithmic curve. If I had another two or so years, I'd make it. But, I do not have that time.
So, I'm switching to FL-Studio. I really do not want to, but I've run out of options.
I'll still be using LMMS for collaborations and such, but my main DAW will be FL-Studio. Once I become a professional, I may decide to make a song using only free software, to show the world that it can be done.
But, I still won't be a free-software composer.
If any of you out there are crazy enough, and just a bit stupid like me, you may be able to become the first professional composer to only use free software. You can do it, given enough time. Meanwhile, I'll be elsewhere.
Goodbye, everybody.
Have a nice day.
