I’m an old Sound Blaster customer from years and years ago when I bought a Soundblaster Live! 5.1 with the 5.25" drive bay.
I got a Cubase Cd rom with it, must have thrown it away or something .
Back then I was trying to hook my guitar directly into a 3.5mm jack for recording.Ya Rly.
10 years later and a few PC’s down the line I decided it was time to actually start recording stuff and the only thing I knew that did recording on a PC was that thing I got with my Sound Blaster cards, Cubase.
I didn’t even look for anything else, just went straight for the latest version I could find.
Fast track 3 years down the line and i’ve spent thousands and thousands getting a proper set up and going 100% legit in every way, Music, movies, software, you name it.
You can be all high and mighty about my situation back then but it’s all a learning process and it’s like telling a smoker to quit. They have to see the reasons for themselves.
My conscience is completely clean and I really enjoy paying for things I love.
