I've been playing with music production software programs ever since I downloaded a trial version of Cool Edit back in high school. It was sort of clunky, but I totally adored it. I suddenly had an effective program in my hands that could do all kinds of musical things that I had never imagined possible.

I could synthesize my own tones, give them unique ambiances and effects, layer a number of tracks on top of one another, play things backwards - you name it. By the standards of today's most effective music production software programs, it wasn't incredibly powerful, but at the time it definitely blew me away.

Producing music was a dream of mine at the time. I even contemplated going to college to start a music industry career. One of my siblings was heavily involved in the music business as a local performer in LA.

Even though he wasn't truly generating a career out of it, he did have a good tidy supplementary income from his shows. I didn't have the skills to be a musician, but I did have an ear for music. I could take an excellent track and make it better - a skill that most music producers need to have.

I decided to get some serious music production software program as soon as I left high school. I was a realist.

Despite the fact that the technology wasn't quite up to what it really is nowadays, I still knew that music production programs were the wave of the future.

Purchasing racks and racks of studio equipment was very pricey - especially for a novice sound recording engineer like myself. The software program for music production cost a few hundred dollars, but this was absolutely nothing compared to the prices of good sound recording equipment.

What I didn't understand at the time was how many different types of music production software programs there are, and how different the outcomes had been among them. A standard music production program could run between 50 dollars to 500, I know to have the same features.

Some had been basically music recording and mixing programs, created to do several tracks and clean up the sound quality. Others were intended for electronic music recording artists.

They had music sampling, innovative effects, and MIDI capabilities. I slowly and gradually realized that if you wanted to be a recording engineer, you needed to have one of everything and be able to do it all.

You could not very well have a person come into your recording studio and not in a position to access the equipment he required. I made the decision to learn it all.

So, I did my research and examined rock artists and radio rock online by searching: rock music listen.
