not really. That person gets swamped, passes work to you. then you get a credit. And then you work from there. Everyone is over worked. It is a matter of time if you don't suck. Most people do suck. I mean not just skill but as a person. Like the kind of person you would want to slap.

Playing samples from midi was easy then. There was plenty of software around, and the foundations for Logic and Cubase were being born then too. I used Pro24.
It was the memory limitations that were the issue.
I had an Atari 1040 ST back then that actually had a midi port built into it, it was one the the main audio computers that people used.
It had 1MB of memory. Today I have 8000MB and don't think it's enough.

don't write people. Show up at the door. They always need help but an email shows that you don't give a and they can't make a 5 second up and down and see if you will work out. It really is a 5 second decision that you can only make in person.
is this guy going to piss me off
is this guy going to steal from me.

I don't agree me old mukka.
A shrink once said to me "no one intuativly knows how to fly a plane so why should we assume we know how to raise a kid, which is infinitely more complex?".
The standard reply to this is "I've been a kid, so I know", but that's not a satisfying bit of logic.
Lots of parents routinely shout at thier kids, and then are surprised when the kids ends up a shouter. It's this sort of lack of rounded insight many of us could benefit from.
Where I'd agree with your sentiment is when allowing for the sheer wall of advice and research on offer. By definition much will be wrong so you need to use it intelligently.
One thing worth baring in mind is an awful lot of old folk end up lonely and ignored. There's a reason this happens.............

If you can't figure out that if you shout at your kids then they'll shout too, then you really shouldn't be breeding. I suspect you wouldn't understand what a child psychology is even saying anyway.
The comparison between raising a kid and flying a plane is complete BS as well.
There are hundreds of semi developed countries around the world where they'd laugh at the idea of child psychology, and yet manage to raise large, happy and respectful families.
Not having a pop at you Rich, but I think the idea that you need to be an expert in raising a child to do it successfully is Red Herring. As with most things that you need to learn in life, just get stuck in and don't be a cvnt in the process.

agree, It is only information. You make decisions as a parent and ultimately it is up to you but having informed decisions based on actual science is a good thing. It isn't about experimenting with your child, It is about making the best decisions. Knowing more about children so that you are better equipped if your kid say like I was , a little weird.

theoretical knowledge is not mutually exclusive with experience. It can only help you make better decisions. I don't understand how you can think being more informed is a bad thing. The sort of literature I'm talking about are scientific ones. Not child raising books that tell you what to do. I don't care for that as that assumes your kid is like their kid. But knowing more about the process, what has been shown to not work ever, work sometimes, and usually always work from trustable sources will make you a better parent.
Just like reading about psychology in general will help you understand yourself better.
It is information you can apply.

Read up on the process for sure. The novelty of the way we live these days means that wisdom is no longer passed down, but downloaded instead.
I guess I've seen one too many teaching their foetus to sign read to give them that 'vital step up'.
One little dude my boy goes to nursery (he was 3 at the time) with explained to me he wanted to be a scientist when he grew up and that there is no such thing as better, and everybody was equally good at everything. When I asked him what his favourite colour was he said he liked them all.
