Well being waaaaay waaaaaay older than dirt, my wife has finally talked me into to it.
With a tear in my eye this will be the last year of running my studio.
Ironically this has been my 2nd best year ever; financially speaking. —go figure.
We will be closing up just after Xmas time.
I want to thank all those in this great Cubase community for all your help
and suggestions etc etc over the years (you know what I mean)
Also want to thank all the mods and the ‘Powers That Be’ for maintaining this place.
I have alway felt at home and welcomed here.
It was also kool to have been made a mod. Tanx to all the other mod guys for that.
I started doing DAW work in Toronto in 1993 with Cubase 2.8 and Finalé and I have never looked back.
SMPTE time code laid onto one track of a 4 track Tascam anybody? Ha!
Outboard sound modules all over the place. MIDI jitters anyone? Ha!
Hell I even remember burning my 1st CD. Ha!
Well I finally ended up on Maui using Cubase 8.5
with everything ‘in da box’ and have never been happier.
I was able to buy a home here and put my daughter thru school all by using Cubase.
I can’t think of a better testament to the Cubase programme than that! Thanks Charlie.
In the future I will still ‘pop in’ here from time to time to check on
‘whaaaaaaat’s uaaaaaaaaaaaaap’ in Cubeland. It’s been one hell of a run.
You know what they say about what free advice is worth.
That being said. here goes:
To anyone thinking of starting up in this bitness:
1-Don’t look back; somthin’ might be gaining on you. —Satchel Paige
2-Don’t skate to where the puck is; skate to where the puck will be —Steve Jobs
3-Trust the best piece of gear you will ever own; yer own ears —curt lee
Special tanks to forum members Weasel, Steve in Chicago and vic_france.
You guys helped changed my life.
Sending much ALOHA to all! Keep making music.
{‘-’}
All the best to you “curteye”. I know you will keep your ears active as long as you can. Maybe even longer than me and I will be 78 this Nov… Music stays with you forever. Don’t give up entirely. Stay active. ALOHA
Definitely gonna miss you.
You seemed to always have a positive word.
And I always imagined you sitting on a deck with your laptop . . tropical things waving gently in an ocean breeze . . . blue water as far as the eye could see . . .
. . . added an additional vicarious pleasure to your posts for me.
I hope your retirement brings you much joy. You have been a long-time light hearted poster here and I appreciate your time you spent as a guest moderator.
We will celebrate this even though we will all miss you, your presence and your member’s post deletions.
Congratulations on your retirement from commercial pressures. I hope you will continue with the Art of music and that your Muse will treat you gently as you transition to this new phase of life.
Congratulations, Curt! You have always been a voice of peace and kindness in the forum, aside from your general helpfulness. Maybe I will have another chance to go to Hawaii, and this time I’ll try harder go to the right island.
And don’t sell all your gear.
