I don't agree with this strict definition. I've been in the music industry a long time and have worked with a lot of true professionals who don't make enough live off their music earnings. But, anybody who has worked with them knows that there is no debating the fact that they are pros in terms of their talent, knowledge, abilities, and attitude. They have day jobs to feed their families, and do their "pro" work in the evenings and weekends, either as a hobby or to supplement their income. In fact, some of the best and most professional musicians, composers, and performers that I have known don't rely on their music income to "make a living." And, it's getting increasingly harder to make a living solely from music.

Relax, dude, it was just a joke response to a joke comment made by echosystm:

pro is when you have a lot of hardware

I've used many Behringer products in my lifetime and I have one of their headphone amps (PowerPlay Pro XL) in my rack - excellent piece of gear.

Sorry didn't mean to come off as harsh at all, just never understood why people bashed their gear so much, i've never had a problem with any stuff i bought from them.

Cryo I just listened to your first 3 songs on there, seriously amazing work.
When I think of my style of music thats pretty much 100% what I like too, great work man! One day I have to go through all of them when I have time.
