  Speaker 1: It's Andrew Asteroid here, and for this episode, I'm going
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: to be giving the case for midi instruments. Is what
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: I'm about to say going to be as thought provoking
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: as the case for Christ or a couple of other
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: apologist books off the top of my head, like Rum
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: Sweet Home or Why We Are Catholic. No, but here's
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: the thing for those who don't know what mini instruments are.
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: It's a way of creating certain sounds to help complete
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: a song. And the go to way to do that
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: is by getting a special KEEP and you connect a
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: USB chord to your computer and you open up your DOW,
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: which is short for Digital Audio workstation, and when you
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: open it up, you can choose what sound you want
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: to use that way. And I was so opposed to it,
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: such a musical snub, But at the same time, I
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: suffer with mental health and it comes into play because
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: it makes me not want to be as social, which
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: then means that I don't make friends with other musicians.

  Speaker 1: And there's just this twinge inside me that just says, Hey,
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: you know, you want to go for it, And yeah,
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: I don't want to just say that I like music.
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: I want to go for it, so eventually I threw
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: up the white flag. And I also tried to keep
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: in mind other points about meeting instruments, like the benefit
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: because of just thinking about how much space a drum
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: kit takes up, and just thinking, hey, could you blame
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: yourself for wanting to use a drum MEETI to make
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: up for not having a full kit, and just thinking
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: about bands like nine Inch Nails who can pull off
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: using mini instruments for their songs. And that's where side
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: off the top of my head on how I feel
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: about mini instruments until the next one, Peace and Chicken
