In 1978 I had bad experiences with Fortran , and swore to myself I would never touch another computer . And I didn't for more than 10yrs . ( Insert stories about punchcards , computer runs taking 24hrs , no such thing as pre-made software , etc )
Then was led into re engaging first with looking at alt-binaries , then eventually most basic e mail , basic participation in Fora , and googling random stuff . I realize I am so far behind the curve, that computer stuff continues to evolve far faster than I could ever cumulatively catch back up . I accept that , move on .
But it is biting me on the rear , because I am at standstill for recording projects , even though I have taken classes in live sound, and DAW .
I even sought out instruction , and find I am in the dreaded in between zone . Plenty of instruction for people who have literally never touched a computer , to bring them up to where I am now . And plenty of classes for already knowledgeable people to get their professional certifications . But nothing to take people from 5% skill level to 30% skill level .
When ever I'd ask my knowledgeable friends , it's circular . They try to explain soming to me , they use three other things I don't know . And each of those then they try to explain, with 2 or 3 more things I am clueless , and it just turns circular .
