The classic "I spent too much money on a synth and now I'm a little embarrassed" post! Don't be ashamed, friend! It takes guts to invest in yourself, especially when you're venturing into uncharted territory.
Imposter syndrome is real, but it's also an excuse. You're not just some music noob; you're a pioneer who's willing to take the leap and try something new. And hey, if that doesn't pan out, at least you'll have a killer synth for your next garage sale or kids' birthday party.
On a more serious note, it's awesome that you're embracing this new direction and challenging yourself outside of your comfort zone. That's what growth is all about! And who knows, you might just find a hidden talent or passion.
So go ahead, rock that Launchpad Pro MK3 like it's nobody's business! You got this (and if not, well, at least you'll have some great stories to tell). Keep pushing yourself and having fun with music. The carnivore diet may be behind you, but the real feast is just beginning
