About what I expected from a grown man who takes pop punk seriously.

He's had a rough go of it. I think economics is a bigger part.

Seriously as in calls it art or enjoys it? B/c I've been jamming out to some Blink 182 and Offspring lately.

Bold of you to assume I take anything on this board seriously, your opinion included.

I enjoy it BECAUSE it's not meant to be taken seriously. It's like a joke genre that we're all in on.

I believe he talked about playing in a pop punk band in his 30’s.

God forbid someone have social hobbies like playing music with friends on the weekends for beer money. I play in a pop punk band...and a classic rock band...and a divorced dad rock band...and a jazz band. You're criticizing someone for touching grass while you're posting about politics on an internet message board during the work day. What have you made lately?

Bro I’ve read plenty of your opinions before, namely your retarded takes on RATM and the history of punk generally.

Yes I’m well aware of your idiotic opinions on music history in general.

I don't think about your opinions at all.

Musically? Since Labor Day, quite a lot. Nearly 20 tracks of music I initially composed in MIDI which I then went back and did live tracking for. I got a producer for that stuff so we will re-record things as we go through mixing and mastering. I went and did tracking for my friend’s album in NO recently and we wrote six more songs that weekend. He said that should be out in 2027. And I still have a shite ton of stuff I need to finish from like 2017/18, as I set that aside while I was in Med School.
I had two case reports published and salvaged another study through immense effort, worked a shite ton, took care of my new born, and got into fellowship. Also bought a bunch of new equipment and am teaching myself no-input mixing. It’s been a pretty productive fall/winter.

Yeah, my issue has always been the fact you just make shite up. If you referenced actual, you know, works in the history of music, I could respect the opinion more. But most of it is just fiction you make up. It’s dumb as hell.

That's awesome. I'd enjoy listening to it. I'm currently working on editing two music videos for the pop punk band. Hoping to release them both in early spring with the album coming out in the summer. One thing I've been doing is getting good at slightly speeding/slowing down live footage to match recorded music from shows when we didn't play to a click track. It's really tedious, but it's yielded some good results for getting low cost content produced.

I wrote a ton of music in 2020-2022 in about 5 different genres and I'm just finally starting to chip away at that backlog. I'm not great with the daw, so I have to either pay a producer or wait for my friends to be available to record stuff. I put out EPs in 2020 (classic rock), 2022 (pop punk), 2024 (classic rock), and dropped a single in 2025 (pop punk). Currently working on two albums (a pop punk one and a prog metal album with a lot of jazz and post-hardcore influences) but have material for two more (another pop punk album and a classic rock album). I should be dropping an album later this year.

Learn a DAW man. Logic is pretty easy, and learning it helped me use FL Studio much better too. I’m moving stuff to Ableton so I can take advantage of the Max for Live stuff. My music productivity went through the roof once I actually committed to learning a DAW. Having Logic on my iPad so I could always write MIDI compositions helped me fill out several tracks which had live instrumentation but still didn’t feel complete. Learning a DAW in detail has quadrupled my music productivity. It also helped that the MIDI 2.0 rollout mostly has finished, which gives MIDI the ability to carry far more information per note.

I know I need to. I know a little bit in Studio One and Pro Tools, but I'm really slow with it. A couple years ago, my band needed someone to get gud with video editing since we were too broke to pay someone to make our music videos so I dedicated a bunch of time to that instead since no one else in the band could do it. So, now, I'm passable at filming music videos on phones and editing them in capcut instead of being great with a daw.
I think I need to invest in purchasing a better daw and a much better interface if I'm going to get serious about it. That would open up being able to do vocal covers, genre-bending old songs, and just enable me to make lot more content that I currently can't do in a time-efficient manner.

I mean, it sounds like you should go get a Mac and get Logic and Final Cut Pro before they decide to start making those a subscription. The things you can do stock out of Logic are crazy good. Using it without an interface is also easy, and getting a solid interface for tracking is cheap. Arturia has a decent entry-level option and Korg is coming out with one this year. In addition Focusrite and PreSonus are always good options, among many more. For your needs, I would focus on either a used Mac Mini or a used MacBook with an M1 chip, made post-2020. Get one with 16 gigs of Ram. You could probably have all that, interface, Mac, Logic, etc, for around 1000 right now.
I do get it, as learning something else on top of other things is taxing, but it really is way easier than you think. I feel like I wasted a lot of time I could have been making more music by not initially sitting down and learning a DAW way back when I first started making music. I always regarded it as a pain in the arse and relied on friends to do it. Those same friends have released several albums and find music work consistently, so I cost myself opportunities in the end. Just bite the bullet and do it. If you have the case, do it today.

I have the time, I don't have the gear or the money to acquire said gear. I don't use studio one because I like it. I use studio one because I got a free version of it like 8 years ago with my broken audiobox and it still technically sorta works on my PC without a subscription. Everything I do is bootstrapped and jerry-rigged together with barely functioning equipment on the cheap. I thought it was interesting watching a local show last week when one of the guys in this band pulled up to the diy venue with an amp that by itself was worth more than every member of my band's gear, our recording setup, our PA system, and all of our instruments and amps combined. Heck, there were two years where I ran rehearsals without a vocal mic
What you'll find is that I am usually held back by having no money and trying to make up for having no money by either doing everything myself or relying on other people to do so cheaply on their time table, not mine. The fact that I'm able to make anything cool, let alone having gotten my bands into a couple big national festivals, is nothing short of a miracle.

Yeah dude I get it. Bite the bullet and do what you have to. In one year, the amount of music you will have made is going to be worth the expense.
