My transformation of creating music part 2

My dad had soon realized that I had lost interests in the complicated Reason software. He then asked me, if you like music so much why don't you play a "real instrument" that interests you? Even though I wasn't really interested in learning a "real instrument" I decided that the only thing that kind of interests me is the bass. Me and my dad decided to split the costs, so we bought a Ibanez bass. I played around with the bass and learned some techniques from the tutorial CD, but it only took me a few months until I lost all of my interest in playing the bass. I quickly went back to making beats on the cheesy program Garageband. I then realized you can make "sample" beats on Garageband which increased my passion for making beats. "Sampling" is to take a song or an intro of a song and you chop up the song, add sounds and change the tempo/tune of the song to make it your own song. In high school I met a couple of people who had similar interests (making beats), we then shared our beats/ideas and soon we collabed with each other. "Collabed" means to make a beat together. I was then introduced to my friends, friends who are in a group called "Fit to Proceed", they then inspired me to use more of my creativity and make more beats.

My transformation of creating music

     In 6th grade I thought that in the future I was going to become a professional DJ and travel all around world. I then attended a DJ school for a year and a half, learning all the techniques of a DJ, from scratching to getting a crowed hyped up. My first DJ gig was at my high school's winter ball, that DJ gig was the first and worst DJ gig I have ever performed. The power went out on me three times, people were yelling at me because I didn't play their song request and most of my equipment was rented and old. My best DJ gig was at my 8th grade prom. Everybody there was having a good time, I was able to feel the energy of the crowd which was cool and I got two dance with 3 different ladies while DJing. Five years ago I was getting tired of DJing at high school dances/parties and I wanted to do something that is more creative and important to me, so I started making my own music. I first started creating beats in 8th grade, using a computer application called Garageband. Even though garageband gives you loops of instruments that somebody has already made, it was at least a start in my beat making creativity. I then realized that I should make my beats from scratch rather than using loops, so I bought a MIDI keyboard (a piano keyboard that hooks up to your computer). I was creating beats at least three times a week and my parents encouraged me to create more beats, so for Xmas they decided to purchase a more complex/professional music making program for me called Reason. I used reason for about a year and I became so confused with the program that I only made four beats and I decided to create beats from scratch on Garageband.
