Quick two questions. How does life work, and how do you use Pro Tools LE for PC?


I've had this stupid M-Box and ProTools LE software going on four years now, and I'll be damned if my home recordings don't still sound like a four year old making a doody into a fishbowl. I wish I could get away with it and be like, "Oh yeah, that's just my super lo-fi Moldy Peaches-esque sound choice," but I can't. It's really not what I want the songs to sound like.

Hear for yourself at Eli's Pretty Ugly Acoustic Songs that Could Maybe Sound Pretty in Somebody Else's Hands.

The newest atrocities are titled "Another Texas" and "Suzie."

But, seriously, I have a feeling it's a trick I'm not understanding and have avoided researching lo these many years. Makes me think I should have bought a Mac after all. My roommate does pretty amazing stuff with that Garageband thingy.

Oh, right, so the other question was "How does life work?" This might be another question for my roommate - more on this later - I can't really talk about it right here.
