Elusive Mr Hatchard
The Elusive Mr Hatchard - Just a kid making music in his bedroom
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Started messing around with old school dos-based programs like Fasttracker around 15 years back, knowing absolutely nothing about music. Really got into it and eventually progressed to midi and Cubase SX. I've since fallen in love with the ease of VSTs and although I've spent money on hardware I like to keep it internal as much as poss.
