Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
If you think you can do it, you can.
It's always too early to quit.
Who seeks shall find.
Leap, and the net will appear.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
Only the educated are free.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
I think that technology has both introduced new sounds but also allowed an increasingly painterly approach to recording music as you can now paint over what you've done and more and more refine an existing performance.
