#2My favorite part was the Vonnegut quote.
> I urge you to please notice when you are happy, and exclaim or murmur or think at some point, ‘If this isn’t nice, I don’t know what is.

Agreed. And if you write down in your diary/notebook what have you when you recognize you're happy and having fun. Then write down as much of what you can capture about why. That will give you a tool to use to figure out where to go next to maximize your engagement level with your next task.

#4Sonic Foundry had incredible products (Vegas, Acid) but they don't appear to have enjoyed the success they deserved? They have been acquired many times, once by Sony and then by Magic, and the most recent versions of the software are years old.
Yet these products are among the most stable and user-friendly that I have come across. It would be most interesting to read more about their journey!

#5Crazy that Soundforge was built with such a small team.
Playing around with Soundforge as a teenager in 1998 and looping samples together was super inspiring for me. Anyone could make professional sounding music from their computer, and using it also piqued my interest in building software.

+1 their products and UX were top notch.

Acid never struck me as something particularly widely used. I was big into electronic music production at the time and I started with Acid + Sound Forge but eventually moved on to Reason and later Ableton + Reason. People who were doing a lot of multitrack editing seemed pretty loyal to Cubase (or Pro Tools if they were using Macs) and then Ableton came along and became extremely popular.
Sound Forge is of course in a class of its own.

And let's be honest. That software was so incredibly pirated I assume more people bought WinZip.
Acid was pretty fun to play with. I will outright admit I did not purchase my copy.

My 10th grade high school music class was taught entirely using Acid. Looking back I am 90% certain our teacher pirated it.

Fair to say fl studio is the PHP equivalent in the DAW world? So much music has been made using it but it is highly frowned upon in the industry and considered to be the noob's tool.
