...really pisses me off sometimes.

So I don't know if you guys know, but I've really been obsessing over making music recently. I've been using Garageband to make it, which is the default program that comes on all macs now. It's really simple and stupid, but I'm good at milking it like people milk MS-Paint. I could come up with really excellent stuff, but it doesn't give me much memory to work with.

On that subject, check out my latest song, Enigmatic Automatic. I wasn't going to post it in a news post for fear of 0 bombers, because I was going for best of the week by getting all my contacts to vote 5 on it (lol). I didn't really expect to, and they've been finding me anyway, so screw it.

I just got Logic Express 8 today, which is the stripped down version of Logic Studio 8. Still, the user manual is over 1,000 pages long. (The one on my computer, not a book) <edit>I found a "getting started" manual that's only 111 pages long</edit> This is some intense shit. I'm used to learning stuff right away and just jumping in- I'm an instant gratification kind of guy. It usually just comes to me. I don't fucking read manuals. I learn best by one on one instruction, trial and error, and hands on experience.

I don't have anyone to teach me, but I'm getting this book (pictured below). I've heard it goes really slow and assumes that you know absolutely nothing at all in the first place. I'd rather learn at my own pace, but oh well. I don't want to develop bad habits and I want to know this software like the back of my hand. I'll just have to tough it out.

However, in the meantime ideas are coming to me left and right and I don't know what to freaking do with them. I guess I'll just keep using Garageband for the moment, and the fact that I have this awesome software and I'm using that shit is downright INFURIATING. Though I do have a soft spot for Garageband :3 Kind of like a crippled puppy that came scratching at your door in the middle of the night.

So if anyone reads this who has Logic, PM me, I'd like your help D: (though no one reads this and 99% of audio makers here have FL Studio...)
