i sometimes feel like producing music but since i'm on Linux now, i can't just create tracks and effects from a huge library of presets and plugins anymore like i could with Logic on macOS.
takes much more effort to set it all up and get it working properly, and i'm too lazy to do it.
musicianship
something i did that was inspired by the Sailor Moon soundtrack
😎
i know i could, but who's got the time for that?
i can also practice drawing and have all manner of pretentiousness about art, but street artists are truly savage
i have some serious respect for people who will walk out on a street and play an instrument. they sign record deals for millions with people but the person who plays on the street has the biggest courage
i want to play in a band that does jazz covers of popular songs
a nice walking bass
where do people who like jazz hang out online, if anywhere
any jazz, swing or fusion lovers out there?
time to take my bass for a walk:

the main purpose of professional equipment is to save you time and effort though. you can "rescue" audio/video recordings from inferior equipment with some careful choices when recording and post-processing after the fact, but this takes time and effort.
professionals are trying to save time and effort because this lets them service more customers faster, so it's justifiable to spend a lot on fancy equipment.
but most professionals will tell you that you shouldn't spend on such fancy equipment before you're starting to get the gigs to justify it. they're *not* very snobby about the equipment, really. most of them started out with something modest.

nostr:npub1r922qcju9p0dwpg23nltr43f0wdqpme5lrn4ykyyu236qp6065yss0tpfu i think you're getting the wrong idea.
this is for improving the sound when you're using your phone for recording video.
sound is very important for video.
often, the main difference between "movie" and "TV show" is how good the sound is.
an extreme example: South Park. it has the worst animation ever, but the musical numbers are Broadway level and extremely professionally produced, which adds to the entertainment/comedy value.
