I'm 100ing your comment not because I've ever done this but because the idea of having to struggle to get the best results is ancient thinking and often detrimental.
nor would I ever suggest someone struggle unnecessarily as it will result in the most pure or appreciated results.

I don't need to be homeless to appreciate having a roof over my head
Work smarter not harder or whatever
Oh for sure!There are certainly aspects of struggle that can offer someone having been through struggle a wider perspective on things, gratitude most often, but I’ve also seen that move in the complete opposite direction and people become so surmounted by their struggles they never move anywhere in life but barely above water, financially, socially, mentally, etc.
I think for me it came more from not being motivated by money to begin with, which lent itself to a young, insecure Drew looking for an identity in my early 20’s and easily relating to the tortured artist thing. At that point in my life, the torturing was 100% self inflicted.
Oh for sure!
Not everything should be easy imo but it doesn't have to be unnecessarily hard just for the sake of difficulty. But what do I know
Some health issues in some ways made the decision for me, but I very consciously chose to completely live audio engineering 24/7 knowing full well that I would NEVER have financial security of any kind and that normal, everyday spending tasks or even having a credit card would forever be impossible for me.There are certainly aspects of struggle that can offer someone having been through struggle a wider perspective on things, gratitude most often, but I’ve also seen that move in the complete opposite direction and people become so surmounted by their struggles they never move anywhere in life but barely above water, financially, socially, mentally, etc.

^This sounds like a blast \m/
FWIW, I totally see the advantage to standardization and fully support new development/plugins/hardware supporting NAM as a format standard similar to wavs for IRs. I use some proprietary IRs (DynaCab, Two Notes) but absolutely see the value in a standard and use WAVs most of the time (York Audio for the win).
Which is why they don't sound as good as the former options! I'd take NAM/Tonocracy/ToneX over the Kemper and QC any day of the week.
Playing guitar, and the technique of good tone production, is more than enough struggle.Oh for sure!

your right, i will fix my replied to that person
He just gets butt hurt when people don't like the Kemper. Proper fanboi. You'll notice he only ever laugh reacts my posts that put the Kemper last. Never actually engages with what I say; particularly when I post this article:
actualiy i dont engage with what you say because i dont give a damn what you say
