We complain about the loss of creativity when something takes a nano second too long to render or load but what about tape head alignments, tape breaking; I could go on.
We've never had it so good no matter the DAW we use

Will be 54 this month and I too am stoked about getting the new update. I would imagine all those young whipper-snappers around here are thinking....wow, I didn't think those old farts could even turn on a computer... :) . Then again, none of them ever had to do a splice with a razor blade...or do a remix because they failed to move one fader. Automation was a luxury back in those days...!

And when they complain about the lack of gapless audio, they never had to deal with rewinding a black face ADAT and a silver faced ADAT XT and waiting for them to catch up with SMPTE code and sync up with each other again.  Haha.

Or formatting the tape in real time ...

What was the Error message of doom when you knew a tape was hosed?  "nofo" or something to that effect?

When I hit 30 it was like the most traumatic thing ever. I wanted to cry. I think sometime around 32 I just decided I couldn't care less how old I am. In fact I'm so glad I'm not in my 20's any more. 

yeah, I'm dreading the big three o

I can't believe how many old guys there are here. I have been 29 for 20 years now. ahhh denile.... It's not just a river in egypt. You are as young as you feel. With age comes wisdom even if you never want to grow up, at least you may get a little wisdom.

Well understand this. Your 30's are gone in a shot! Seriously, I can remember my 30th like it was yesterday, now I'm coming up to my 40th. Bam. 

Getting older is a badge of honor I wear proudly and with great joy.  when I was 22 I was diagnosed with a rare blood disorder that my doctors told me would probably impact my life expectancy.  At 36 that blood disorder morphed into an acute form of Leukemia (while this sounds bad, it was remarkably the better of the two possible end stages) and informed that without a bone marrow transplant (BMT) I would probably be dead within a year, needless to say I choose the BMT.  Three years later I relapsed and once again left with the same choice, that was five years ago.

This year I turned 45, 23 years after I was informed that 45 was iffy at best -  here I am.  Ones view of growing older can change in an instant, mine did.  While at times my 45 year old body feels like a 60 year old body because of the treatments I've undergone, I wouldn't trade it for anything.  Stangely enough, despite what we've been through and my feeling on aging, my wife keeps celebrating the anniversary of her 38th birthday, and she is a few years older than I am so it's been several anniversaries now. 


I guess life really is in the living and subject to ones experiences.

55 here......  Can anyone remember the excitement of creating three notes at once in the old DOS Cakewalk and thinking you had really accomplished something!  If you believe in eternity being older just means you got to live a little longer than the younger guys!

4part...I remember back in the early 80's a guy I worked with had programmed a flag waving on a commodore 64. I programmed the star spangled banner, some notes in 3 part harmony by typing in the code for each note....HA...! What memories :) .
