In my opinion knowledge means less. More important IMO is the motivation, the skills to use free time. I wish I would be 30 years younger with the gear I own today. For example, Floyd Rose and active Humbuckers already existed when I was 30 years younger, but I didn't had the money to pay for it. I was young, highly motivated and a very good guitarist. Today I'm less motivated and as a consequence, in relation to back then, I'm a lousy guitarist today, but today I own this and other gear, some of what even didn't exist that time. For example, for some time the best synth "workstation" I owned was a Roland MT-32, fortunately with software to program it, but since it had only one MIDI in, data overflow that could cause a missing hi-hat now and then was a serious limitation. As for knowledge I could be 30 years younger, even without nowadays knowledge, since as a consequence of my highly motivation, I was very fast in learning. The issue today is motivation. I don't use my time as good as I was able to use it, when I was young. The young man was able to manage the time for women for a lot of friends for programming audio software for making music with a band for making music on his own to go to school or work The old man is unable to manage the time just for a few friends to make music on his own to go to school or work _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-dev mailing list Linux-audio-dev@lists.linuxaudio.org https://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-dev
