    Ever wonder who makes up the core of AudioSex membership? Are we mainly singers? Producers? Engineers? Please answer this anonymous poll as honestly as you can. If you would like to explain a bit about yourself and your experience, feel free to do so. Your input is appreciated.

    Gone! You are late to the party. Those that arrived earlier were able to learn a bit about me

    Wow, never saw a 19 options poll here before

    I would consider my self as a hobbyist with ambition for more
    In my whole "career" as musician I made 100 Bucks ... and that’s with setting up studio equipment for someone :winker:

    The biggest problem is still the fear of getting sued (Copyright is a Bitch ) And with more than 100 Mio Songs published it's a minefield for making the same song (or a similar one which can also be sued ) so publishing a song is always a risk :thumbsdown:

    I am a nobody underpaid blue collar worker.
    I started out life playing drums now I make tunes with my laptop, and my music goals are the same as when I was young.

    "To crush my enemies,
    To see them driven before me,
    and to hear the lamentation of their women."

    I was in the music industry. I signed small and medium contracts with some very important labels. A long time ago I recorded LP's, (Vinyls), then CD's, always as a musician. Then I built my own recording studio. I love music and production. I recorded some CD's for other artists. I'm still trying to make a living from this. I live on something else. I may never make it, who knows.

    I am King of all trades but master of none, can finagle something out of most musical instruments except woodwinds (minus Natuve American Flute) which I will conquer in some future incarnation, sing, compose, teach and love (need) to pick up my guitar and play.

    Been involved with music in one form or another for 35 years.
    Never my main source of income.
    Always a main source of pleasure.

    I'm trying to be a drummer with a decent life situation for the last 15 years, I just missed my biggest opportunity ever with a band so now I'm also learning to mix properly to add some professional possibilities.. And I'm learning subtractive synthesis as well, playing a lot of piano and just finished my home studio and started to write my own music so maybe a bit of producing too in the future..

    Fuck that shit, I will never give up!!

    I used to be an underground punk rocker.
    But then in 2010 I discovered this digital shit.
    Now my guitar is all full of dust.
    I have become a vst addict.
