Hard

Post by splattered »

Damn... i was in the emergency room last night because my girlfriend has her last wisdom tooth descending, and its wearing into the side of her cheek and causing a sore... it's KILLING her. She's 33 weeks pregnant so she can't take much but tylenol 3 for the pain.

I'm sitting here reading my Music Theory book that i bought so i could learn to read regular sheet music...

That #### is #### HARD.

As i delve deeper and deeper into the chapters, i feel my once solid grip on sanity slowly slipping away.

I suck ASS at math... really bad. And i feel like i have to be good at math to be able to fully understand this.

####.

I see why so many musicians can only read TAB.

Still gonna finish the book though, and read it several times. Whether i fully learn it or not.

Dammit.

Stupid math.

Ok well... i've been reading my music theory book and practicing guitar in what little free time i have, i bought the E-MU 0404 card and it should arrive today, i bought a pair of KRK Rokit RP5 monitors and all the necessary cables, and now i need an external mixer and a midi controller... any suggestions?

For the mixer i have been told to get a Behringer 1204(not fx) or a yamaha... as long as it has alt 3-4 bus (think i got that right haha)

As for a midi controller, i want something 49 key like the e-mu x-board, but i'm not totally positive...

anyone have suggestions?
