See what you started here, Sean? In deference to our younger members here, you'll have to admit that this forum is full of old farts. Someone with a statistical bent could average out the responses and give a median age, but I'd say it's leaning towards middle age (that is, if I live to be 98; extremely doubtful).
What's up with that? It's about the same age group that I see at the Sonar/P5 tour stops. Is this Geritolware? I don't know if we've all just been through enough software to recognize a good thing when we see it, or something else entirely. It can't just be ease-of-use; there's enough DIY people here that push through the obvious into the unknown. And who in their right mind with presbyopia would knowingly choose the DS864 as a sampler?
From other threads, it seems that a lot of us have chosen career paths that have taken us away from our music, but that gnawing feeling at the core has brought us back in spite of the logic against that. And P5 is often the relapse 'drug-of-choice'. Are we just a bunch of stubborn rebels who refuse to give in to the reflection in the mirror?
I'd say it was just a mid-life crisis, but I've personally been through about a half-dozen of those already. From now on, I'm referring to the arpeggiator as the AARP. Here's to changing the name of the software to Project55. Firstly, because I can't drive 55. Hell, that's the speed that I parallel park at. That, and I want free checking.
