My buddies and I have really enjoyed making and recording our own music at home. I might even be able to open a DJ business on the side and hopefully make some extra cash; my friend has a bunch of cool equipment and is training me how to use it.
The only issue we are running into is that we need something to lay down the initial beats that we use in the tracks. I think that I can handle it, I can still talk to him about it, and found some software.
We must have all we require to get really down to determined business, as soon as we can learn about r&b instrumentals. Once we have a clearer idea of where we want to go with it, I can see us taking this full time.
