Please help. What is/was your strategy for sound collection?
Again and again I keep running into the same issue - endlessly searching for sounds during creativity flow. Auditioning 200 snares and scrolling through presets and samples does not help the momentum. More and more this makes sense to me to have a collection of sounds prepared before producing. In recent Produce-A-Ton, Dane showed his collection of recorded sounds in Sampler menu. Now I’m eager to know whether ther’s like the best strategy for building my collection. What was your strategy? Did you organize by: Genre? Element (kicks, snares, basses, vocals)?Emotional character? Texture (warm, digital, dusty, aggressive, soft)?“Go-to” sounds that always work for you?

General age consensus of Mastering.com members
Hey guys, I just completed the "Music Production For Beginners" course and something I noticed was how he kept mentioning "A lifetime learning journey" making me wonder if at 52 years old, I'm kind of in the minority of members who are mostly young people here just starting out in the recording industry. A little bit about me. Back in 1991 I went to I.A.R. (Institute of Audio Research) a now defunct Audio Engineering trade school here in NYC. Being about 18 at the time I was too busy goofing off with friends to put in the serious effort to actually study hard and retain the information I was being taught, thinking I would just "wing it" and learn as I went along, some of which I did during my time interning at a professional music studio in Manhattan. However I didn't stay in the industry and went on to work a series of soul crushing office and manual labor jobs instead because they paid better and were more steady work. During I've always maintained a deep interest in Music making, teaching myself to play Bass guitar and playing in several local bands just for the love of the game. Later on I learned a little piano/keyboard but never really bothered to learn music theory because the internet as it exists today and all the wonderful courses available, such as those on Mastering.com weren't available back then. Now I am medically disabled and have a lot of free time and have decided to really put the effort into learning as much as I can about recording/mixing/mastering and creating music with the small digital home studio I put together. I was wondering what the general age consensus of the other members was and maybe a few of your own personal stories as to why you joined the site.
