making a living from music is much harder today than any other time in history, that's just a common myth. It all comes down to two things, how exactly one lives and whether he or she exploits their own talents to the maximum or not. If you are single, and live in a simple manner without needless expenses it is very easy to make a living from music. But where most producers fail is not selling all their talents. Anything you can do can be a source of income and you can do many things within the context of producing; offer mixing and mastering services, DJ or perform live, remix other people's tracks, create sample packs for sample companies, also start getting revenue from radio, have sync licenses for your music to be used in films and TV... Do as much as you can, it's hard work and sacrifice but it pays off!

Could you tell our readers some of your favorite plugins and which Digital Audio Workstation you use in you productions?

I'm an FL Studio fan since the beginning. My favorite synth plugins are TAL-U-NO-LX and Synth1, both analog modeled with a very special vintage sound, and Refx Nexus which is a rompler with amazing tweaking capabilities. Other staples in my arsenal include a tape compression emulator called FerricTDS, Voxengo's OldSkoolVerb and Fielding DSP Reviver for giving extra volume on bass sounds.
