good luck! voted, too.
Oh yeah... darn. Now that I'm thinking more about it, I did upload using my colleagues laptop. Nevermind, sorry!
I went from the US to UK and Germany earlier this year, and took another trip to Seattle. Had iPad only in Seattle, and could upload directly from the hotel. Had OP-1 in Europe (bling).
It's fun to travel and try to capture your experience. By the way, you don't need the companion/android workaround, I used this website:
Online sound file converter, very nice!

Well you gotta find a place that would suit the kind of music that you play first and that can be harder than anything else.
Yeah... that's true ;-) Nothing like going out more I guess!!

It only takes 10minutes to create a track:
Check the Beat This episodes where producers create new track in ten minutes.Here is two my favourites:
Toddla T speaks most of the timeFour Tet creates track using only random samples from Thriller LP:
damn.
my modular is pretty hands on so my 3 year old sometimes plays with me. but mostly just find time in the evenings to play.
its finding time to play shows thats a clusterfuck with work and family
I admire that - both of it, really. I *want* my kids to see that I'm making music, and not just pleasant Puff the Magic Dragon (although I will play that on the guitar for them) but also bleeps and noise. So having them see and hear what I do is pretty important - and having them mess with your modular is certainly a great way of doing that. I found that an old piano we got for free has been good because I can't put earphones on so they will hear when I play. But of course that's tonal. (Which is not evil, just not the whole story).
Yeah, playing live. I don't even know how to start that. So doubt, such hesitation, wow much calling people. :-)
Strangely i have now done more music that i did before i had kid.
That's interesting. I would say that's true for me, too, although it's been 9 years since I had no kids. I never looked at it that way though. Same with the weekly beats - it *is* good to have some pressure to get things out.
Like, I got two kids. Can't get a regular practice in. Have to make do with late nights. How do you all do that? Any success stories? I find this rather challenging because family and music are both really really important.
