What Music Are You Making??? Options

[b-hamcomposer]

Okay everybody, I admit I am one of the worst gearheads I know. I spend hours researching new equipement and software when I could be making music instead. After a recent gear blitz I have realized that I am better at research gear than sitting down to compose, as usually happens in certain cycles. Anyways, I'm interested in what music people are working on.

A. Do you do mostly recording, sequencing/composition, or sound design

B. Where are you on the hobbyist-professional line?

C. Do you make money from your music? How and how much?(optional) enough to pay for all the crap you buy?

D. What do you hope to do in the future?

I know this one has probably been done before but this is really what I'm wondering right now.

Eager to hear your responses,

Chris
