Me = 35
I too started as a DJ, and still have my 12's (right behind me)...
Moved to midi thru my 20's....(still have my M1, but sold my Sp-1200, MPC 1000, S760, ASRX Pro)
took a break from music to get may career going..video Post production toolz...
getting back to Music as a hobby now...
P5 is my new Fav.
Also Acid and Orion.
Played with Cubase a bit...but was frustrated with every sequencer since Bars & Pipes Pro.
I hate a lot of the desktop tools, because they assume that ppl want to make music with a mouse....I want to tap on stuff for rythym and timing and pitch...then use the mouse to make up for my poor keyboard skills...
P5V2 seems to hold some promise in this way....
