Oh wow, here I thought they were all talking bout a rapper called ‘Gnome Sane’. You just added a whole new dimension!
@LinearLineman
When I say hobbiest, I simply mean that money and making a living is not on the line. What people do it for outside of this is very individual. But wether the bills need to be paid with it or not is simply where a lot of people throw the ‘hobbiest’ label, and I have pretty much given in to that; not as a definition of me, but to make it clear to them that I don’t have to do it for money. Yah to me personaly I would say enthusiast or obsessive but that just sounds stupid to people who are not even into creative endeavors. The A word though? Eh, some people apply it as a grade in terms of someones ability / level of achievement. Semantics really.
The word ‘artist’ nowadays is kind of up for grabs. There are people I know, that I work with who I call artists and they just smirk and correct me saying they are an ‘illustrator, but thanks’.
I’m 55. I have been road hard and put away wet....... hmmmm. That might not sound so right 😂😀.
Turning 45 on Monday. Moved to the Philippines 6 years ago being a dive instructor and techno dj/producer. Now first child born last summer, hanging on the couch with the fam, overlooking the ocean in my newly opened resort without guests since a year (we opened in December ‘19..)
iPad music saved and is still saving my sanity.
Show your setup 😂
👌
I turned 72 in March, and I'm sitting here as impatient as an 8-year-old waiting for Tim Apple to finally make the announcement for the new iPad Pro. (Yesterday, I took back the 2020 12.9 Pro I'd picked up to replace my 2018 model, and it was still within the 14-days, so back it's gone.)
Damn. Maturity is soooo boring! I want it now, now, NOW!
Do those monitors sound kind of warbly?
Is that one on the ledge a warning to the others to not fuck up?
What a name for a rapper though!!!
Totally agree with this. Also, the concept of "being an artist" is a relatively new thing anyway. Palestrina, the Old Masters or the pretty cool builders who designed those breathtaking medieval cathedrals never thought of themselves as artists. Seen in that framework, it doesn't mean much to me, but I'm cool with others considering it an important part of their identity. Whatever floats their boat. Plus I really like LL's pieces so...
You better get cracking solving the global IT supply chain crunch then, if you want to see anything happening this half year...
@drez they’re phasing all the time
@AudioGus that one is phased out 😝
Seriously though, nothing will survive in this climate. That’s just a crappy fan, it lasts about a year before it rusts out. Never mind HiQ electronics. The ocean, the sun, the sand, bugs and then the rainy season will wear out anything.
Many observations in this thread I can agree with. I kinda like the urge to be creative and will use anything. This iPad being the thing that is on hand. Having to do without any other tools kinda makes you focus too. With too many options come too many choices.
Can you use this as an excuse to always buy the latest ipad?
This poll is 🔥 freal, gnome sane, y’all droppin’ 💎💎💎 nameen tha real 🥫errbody goin’ 🍖
Did I do that right? I’ll just see myself out...
cool daddio, don't let the door fizzle yer nizzle
I think a lot of young people see iPads (what most folks use for iOS music) as a device for older folks who don't know how to use a laptop and have too much money. I think this is wrong though, touch screen interactions are a great middle point between a laptop and hardware. I also went to school for interaction design and spend all day at a computer already, so I'm extra drawn to iOS music.
In the past few years iOS music has gotten to the point where it can compete with hardware as a live performance tool. Aum can do everything that the 1010 blackbox does and more. Drambo can do everything an octatrack can and more.
@AudioGus, I think I remember now you being involved or knowing illustrators... you may recall I repped same for 20 years. Indeed, they mostly didn’t think of themselves as artists... because they were doing someone else’s conception. In that respect they were correct. Many did art working in addition.
@ervin, thanks for liking my stuff... it means a lot to me. As far as the term artist... probably cooks weren’t called chefs until the 17th century... now they might be called culinary artists. I guess, strictly speaking, an artist is someone who creates visual art using the well known media. A surgeon might be an artist with a scalpel. It’s pretty fuzzy after all.
I guess it’s “hobbyist” that I contrast it with most. Here's a typical def of hobby... “an activity or interest pursued for pleasure or relaxation and not as a main occupation: Her hobbies include stamp-collecting and woodcarving.” That sounds right, cause for me making music is my main occupation and I do it for self expression... to express my feeling (not feelings)... and not for relaxation... the opposite, in fact. Thus, not a hobbyist... or even enthusiast. Ironically, I always call the tracks I make “stuff”. Maybe I’m just a Stuffist. 😉🙏
Bringing up the median with the late 30s, lol.
@Erwin i wish 😝 If you can afford it, yes you can! Had my MacBook Air die on me two times. In the end I was able to use it about 12 months out of 3 years due to hassle getting it repaired, no warranty because ‘corrosion’ so ‘you must have had water on it’, no I didn’t, it just can’t take the climate very well (read: badly) I got the pictures of the logic board, corrosion on all the stuff... Second time I used keyboard cover, port plugs, didn’t matter. 6 months logic board died. First Air lasted a few years here, can’t say if something changed or not.
Surprisingly or not, iPads last a lot longer. Almost 2 years heavy, heavy use on iPad mini now.
Regarding the semantic dance, in these parts 'occupation' always refers to paying the bills.
When people in meat space question why I make music but don't care about sharing it so much, I say it is like sex or Yoga. Or like how people don't want to put their kids pictures up on MyFace. Depending on the person, I may even say it is like prayer. Some people I have run into insist that the whole point of making music IS about sharing / communicating with others. eh, whueva.
One of the younger ones at 31. Just joined the forum after lurking for a few months.
Started with ios music in Dec 2020 after buying the ipad as a studying device when I started a Master’s. Needless to add, the studying has taken a back seat and I’ve been mostly exploring the device’s music-making capabilities. Has made my mostly alone time in a foreign country quite enjoyable.
Always been a hobbyist musician and prior to the pandemic, I used to jam regularly at a friend’s music school so never considered anything else. I am kicking myself for not knowing about ios music-making earlier though. Last year could have been much more productive if I knew about it.
@AudioGus, for me the lodestone was pointed out by Connie Crothers and I got it. Music (art) is the expression of feeling (something different from feelings). Without feeling there is no life. Without feeling art is dead. It needn’t be shared. I’m not sure it is a semantic dance. In the old days that might be considered a cop out... but these days... I guess you’re right.... cause we are often numbed to feeling and “whatever” seems more appropriate.
By semantic dance I was just referring to the word ‘occupation’.
When I was younger I made personal things outside of work to influence or effect others but in my job I need to focus so much on others (to the complete denial of me) that it has taken it’s toll so much that for home stuff I need to do it all just for me in that moment to replenish. I try not to even bring words or labels into it at that point.
I make a living serving up dead art.
Obviously attempting squashing people into boxes is far from ideal. Even professional and highly successful artists do stuff for themselves and other stuff to pay the bills. I’m also a chef, and while honest compliments always make me happy, I’d say 99.9% of cooks are not culinary artists. It’s mostly people enjoying the trade, or just doing their job. Being creative, or wanting to be creative, I believe is inherently human. Doesn’t matter you’re dishing up sounds or cooking up food. Erecting buildings or statues. Making your life work, or help others. Everybody is a creative.
Yah I do enjoy making things for others (people who directly pay me) and having them feel good about it for one reason or another. Whether it fits any culturally sanctioned definition or title doesn't matter. I don't think at all about the intended audience or user at the end, just the person/people who hired me and satisfying them and their ideas/expectations specifically. I am a hired gun. To directly interact with a formless ambiguous mass of public something or something would be a totally different headgame / headspace. In that context sure, I may feel the need to pump myself up with a haughty title or something but for now I just hide behind the general and scurry off on shore leave to get laid.
I’m 51 and have been in and out of music my whole life. I enjoy music whenever I use it, be it listening or creating. But it’s just one aspect of my life. I have many interests that come to the forefront through different times. I like that. I try to be more disciplined about the things that keep me healthy like running, cycling, diet, and I find that when I do those things consistently, it makes my creative time better.
I don’t beat myself up if I’m not writing music because I also enjoy lots of other things, even if they aren’t productive because at 51, I’m comfortable where I am and know that accomplishment comes from many avenues. I love my career and enjoy being creative in it as well!
I’m trying to build a PC if I can find a 5950x chip (but that’s about impossible) so I can do more cinematic type work. I’ve been waiting to get the next MacBook Pro, but don’t know when Apple is going to pull the trigger.
As for iOS, I really really enjoy the fact I can pull out my iPhone and continue to chip away at my next work whenever I feel the urge. It’s crazy what people on the forum accomplish and that is inspiring for me to keep pushing how I can write my own music. In a word, it is fun and that’s the single reason I do it.
😂😂😂You're very funny today Gus. 5 Larry Davids out of 5 👋👋👋 or should I say L O L 😛
hehe, aww thanks, I guess it is the perfect storm of a crazy difficult past two weeks ending on a now beautiful day.
I'm tryna translate that: 'the real can of tuna, everybody going ham shank'? Did I get that right? 🧐
