Lately I feel like I don't want to do what I do anymore.
Sick of dealing with clients and their neurotic comments about my work. Don't want to take a vacation. I want to smash my computer.
Turning to QBN for career ideas. More outlandish the better... Bring it on.

I've been seriously considering learning to become a producer of electronic dance music (rather than a DJ) in my spare time, as it's passion of mine - but all the gear and software seems like a massive learning curve and investment lol.
Was in a booth at a club with DJ friend the other night messing around with his launch pad after it closed, so fun :D

I'd grow biodynamic vegetables for the nutritionally obsessed babycino-buying generation. But whatever it is I did next, I won't be able to shake the cold, cynical view of my clients that design has give me.

@prophetone
Thanks for the advice. Are there any midi keyboards you would recommend? I had a look at some the other day but really have no idea where to start lol. I also know you can get synths etc for iPads, and since we have 2 in our household (if I thieve my girlfriends), they could form a part of the workflow..?
- best controller keyboard on the market is the Akai MPK line.sublocked
- ipad also makes a decent/passable synth, but a better controller. lots of great controller s/w for ipad.sublocked
- yeah the lil akais are good, or a novation sl25 for lots of knobs 'n goodies, buy used! hit up ebay like me.prophetone
- maschine will get you drumming and sequencing things, keyboard controller for synths, all else is software...prophetone
- i personally use pro tools but ableton is the bomb and so is logic, just preference 'n budget then go...prophetone
- i have lots of vintage drum machines, sequencers and samplers which is cool but $$$ over timeprophetone

For a bunch of creatives these ideas aren't very "out of the box". Nobody has started drinking today yet, have they?
