Quick Question!

Postby GumsOfGabby » 19 Sep 2012 12:13

Hey bronies!

For how long have you been producing/composing/writing (etc.) music?

I'll start, 1.5 years

Just curious to know :) Thanks!

Started producing mid-June this year, so about three months. Not really, since I haven't done much more than a random hour here and there.

Writing music in general, probably five years ago dates to when I first started scribbling musical ideas, but still, nothing serious.

Producing time's been far and in between for me, or at least it was when I started, so... five months with tons of off time.

I've been playing percussion for six years now, if that counts for anything.

Been producing for like, 10 months. Like 6 months I'd you count when I released my first "track".

In fact, I've really been actively listening to music for like a year.

I've been a musician for about 7 years, but I only got into producing/composing about 9 months ago.
Well I'm pretty much done with this site (it wasn't about the April Fool's joke I actually loved that). If for some reason somebody wants to contact me or something (not like any of you even care lol):

Playing guitar for 2 years, producing dubshit for 3 months. And a few random things like chorus and violin in elementary school (but that didn't really inspire my music so much).

I've been playing piano for 8 years, but I've only started composing around December of last year. And even then, I sucked, so it probably doesn't count.
