What are your hopes for the new year?

[Metanol]

Just some modest wishes. New dsp card. flat screen monitor maybe size 42" if possible. World peace, better sex life, hmm, why not make it better for everybody in the world, pope too. Few million € would be nice. Supercharged 502 cid engine to my car.

[SuitcaseOfLizards]

I hope I can actually spend some time learning to use the massive amount of stuff I have for making music! Oh, and a nice Custom Shop Strat would be right on the mark too.

[Stupid American Pig]

Heres my list or hopes/wants more or less in order of importance:

1) that the worlds troubles will straighten themselves out
2) purchase a flat
3) Purchase the 1981 Epiphone Sheraton that I had my eyes on.
4) possibly sell my piano and purchase a Yamaha P-250(on the fence about this one)
5) If I decide against the yamaha- purchase a decent 88 key hammer action midi controller
6) reduce the amount of useless crap in my apartment so that moving to the new flat will not suck so bad
7) make more money, or make some money from music
get over the fear of my voice
9) spend less money on intoxicants
10) roll that money into better studio tools or savings
11) fix the rear bumper on my car
12) finish 10 good songs for a demo
13) fix the action on my rhodes
14) fix the amp on my wurlitzer
15) purchase BFD
16) purchase XFL for BFD
17) improve my bass guitar playing
18) improve my lead guitar playing
19) improve my piano playing
20) purchase a better Condenser mic
21) get my turntables hooked up again
22) get a new mixer for above turntables
23) Stop thinking that my collaborating buddy will actually work on any of my songs, since he only pretends to work on them to get me to work on his songs, even though I have worked on 5 of his songs this past year...
24) That people will stop putting celebrities on a pedastal
25) more sex...

Someone should dig up this same thread from last year and see how many actually stuck to their resolutions!

For me:

1. Hope to make more money from my music
2. Hope the purchase of my new house goes smoothly
3. More sex
4. Hope my girlfriend likes her new job she starts in June
5. Hope to find a job after I move

Hi Guys,

I have about 12 guitar pieces Im working on so I hope to turn them into finished tunes with vocals and strings.

Hope the GPO group buy happens and would love to get Kirk Hunter Solo strings (see above ).

I think Im finally going to have to build a P.C. After 6 years of Macs exclusively I'd like to mess about with all the great Win Synths & Fx too!

On a personal note I met a girl I really like so I hope that works out

Take Care,
Dave

[whyterabbyt]

I wanna get my flat sold.

That'll dictate anything else.

[Markleford]

To find some musicians locally who aren't lazy c*nts who will play live.

Another "amen" on this one!

I hope over next year I can finally decide on one musical idea to stick with for the span of at least an EP, rather than jumping around between styles and experimental tangents.

Should also attempt to finally bring my private stash of MFX plugins to market.

I agree wholeheartedly on a and b,
and as far as c goes,Hermits are always good

[Klemperer]

1 giving up thinking or quarreling about why those postmodernists in Germany are so elitist-bashing-hateful people so many times (not all, of course) and don't care a sh** why there is, as an example, violence in the world but would tell ya cool: "ah, violence is a text and nothing else, ya know" (took me some years to find out I can't change it anyway at university or in literature-circles, and in music it's not that often to be found, hurray)

2 understanding Reaktor

3 understanding Neuralis in Reaktor and EnergyXT

[Polychrome]

A job...ideally a non-horrible job.
Then a I would like a place to live, other than staying with family members.

[foosnark]

1. Buy fewer VSTs.

2. Make more music.

3. Make more money (not necessarily making music) so I don't have to stick to #1.

[Spe3D]

My wishes for 2005,

1, Promotion of – and – keep growing AudioShot.Com to see more artists develop sites both paid and free.

2, Get the AudioShot’s’ site up for the promotion of artist recordings, virtual CD sales plus news of global audio and art events etc.

3, Get the collab site up for collaboration projects between artists

4, Decide what to do with Harmony probably bin it due to other sites that are much better.

5, Get my Spe3d site up with music etc, may well be no 2 or 3 on the list

But first and foremost AudioShot – that’s the key interest.

Best regards,

Spe3d
