How does one make a living? By earning/making money.
Everybody follows the money. You have to if you want the privilege of convenience. It's a matter of what are you willing to sacrifice in order to earn a living doing what you love.Some are happy and willing to follow their passion such that they make just enough (or maybe a bit more), whilst others simply follow the money.
Sometimes giving people exactly what they want backfires.
Does this really matter? I could care less if someone markets a product to death aiming for a million or if they actually care what they're offering to consumers because in the end I don't have to buy it.marketing can be mistaken for passion.
If it makes money then all is good. And that's the challenge. There's no consistent earnings for software developers unless they give little by little and charge for it. If developers just added everything and the kitchen sink all within a few years then what's left?some bigger companies still maintain that dedication to the user rather than to the investors
Native Instruments has the right idea by branching out into a wide dimension of the music creation and production process. But even so, they're not the top dog because it's a catch - there are others who focus on one thing and are better at it.
Ill invest in Arturia synths before upgrading my Komplete license if at all.
I learned from my investment. See how that works? So what do you do? Buy people out? It's not easy.
The vision should be a product that can continually grow (earn an income for a long duration) while offering something to the target consumer. That's a hard one. That's why big boys like Bally's branch out. From gambling casinos to fitness gyms to sports entertainment etc.I welcome those who make money from selling a product - but the vision should be the product, not just more money.
Well shit. Based on what i just said, we disagree here. Yamaha synths, Yamaha motorcycles, shit...sign me up as far as business is concerned.Serial Entrepreneurs are terrible, because they are always chasing the 'next' thing.
As a consumer, ill go with what works for me so if that means a yamaha blender, f**k it.
If Tama branched out and started selling vacuums i wouldn't give a f**k so long as they keep making the drums they do.
I don't care. If my version works then no need to upgrade. Once they add something that's not Just Because, I'll upgrade. But we agree on at least keeping it stable. Don't take away the brakes on mororcycle handles just to add buttons that turn on the radio.I will support companies that plan to keep their products stable, with occasional innovation, rather than a new version 'just because'.
It's like that from the get-go. You think the foundation of modern society is built on anything less than psychic control? Impossible.there is so much pyschology involved nowadays).
I make music because I'm passionate about it which brings me money. Shit will hit the fan, that's a promise. So you better love what you do.Do you make music to create/express yourself, or just to make money ?
Dude, i could give a rat's f**king nut sack. It doesn't pay my bills to even careWhich of the above applies to somebody like Taylor Swift, these days ?
