What are your biggest pain points as a producer?

Never give up!

At 12, I was producing hiphop tracks, film scores, EDM remixes using a program called "FruityLoops"[1], writing text adventure games in Turbo C[2], building simple web applications using a language called "CGI"[3], writing short stories and poems, doing some 3D modeling, had an interest in guitars.

My family never took these stuff seriously, and didn't want me to focus on anything but my fucking exams. So I complied, and my life turned to shit.[4]

It took 15 years to realize I should never have given up. Ever. No matter what.

Keep rocking!

...

[1] FruityLoops has been called FL Studio since the version 4 out in 2003.

[2] C is a minimal but complicated language for anyone, let alone a 12 year old. However, all I needed to use to create simple text adventures was if/else statements.

[3] Unknown to me, CGI wasn't a programming language, but an old communication protocol between web servers and applications. The language I was actually using to write web applications was Perl.

[4] I really mean it. I'm one of the most failed student in history.
