mateo_dup2 Posted April 5, 2002 Share Posted April 5, 2002 As a reader of most of the Musicplayer mags, and collector of back issues dating back to the seventies, I have noticed that Craig Anderton has published (by my count) 4,632,563 articles (not to mention online stuff)! I am pretty curious as to how this guy finds time to get so much done. So the point of my letter is to suggest to Craig (if you read this) that an article on time management would really help those of us who have to avoid all work and take three months to do a simple demo! Keep up the good work... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soapbox Posted April 5, 2002 Share Posted April 5, 2002 [b]mateo[/b], you counted 4,632,563 articles? Never mind [b]Craig[/b], where did you find the time?!? ;) Actually, I believe that all of the work is done by [url=http://www.articlewriter.com]ArticleWriter[/url] , a program that Craig created in the seventies and has been developing ever since. In fact, Craig actually [url=http://www.musicplayer.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=1&t=005048&p=]let it slip[/url] , in a post a few days ago, that he spends his time lounging in a hot tub in Maui, after jetting in on his private plane.

soapbox Posted April 5, 2002 Share Posted April 5, 2002 Oh yeah, and [b]mateo[/b], WELCOME TO THE SITE!!! Good first question too! Let my example in this thread be a lesson on how to get a high post count! ;) ...And if you really want to study from the master, look up [b]alphajerk[/b]! :D Enthusiasm powers the world.

mateo_dup2 Posted April 5, 2002 Author Share Posted April 5, 2002 Article writer, hey... So how do you get to be a hall-of-fame member? And who is this Alphajerk? Peace from BC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soapbox Posted April 5, 2002 Share Posted April 5, 2002 [b]mateo[/b], becoming a "MP Hall of Fame Member" is kind of like turning forty. Stick around long enough, and it naturally happens. Actually, it's a consolation prize that they give to us losers who have nothing better to do than post. :D In other words, you're awarded the title after 2,000 posts. (For real.) [b]alphajerk[/b] is the guy with the most posts at this site. The last time I looked, he was closing in on 6,000 posts! Enthusiasm powers the world.

Anderton Posted April 5, 2002 Share Posted April 5, 2002 Hey, thanks everyone! Actually I HAVE spent a lot of time devoted to studying time management, particularly regarding synergy. It's way too complex and involved to go into here...maybe I should write a book or something. The downside is I rarely read books, go to movies, etc. Any spare time is spent with my family, which is the most important element of what I do anyway.

miroslav Posted April 5, 2002 Share Posted April 5, 2002 Actually...Craig made several digital copies of himself...at 24/192 of course, to maintain the quality. That's how he does so much!!! miroslav - miroslavmusic.com "Just because it happened to you, it doesn't mean it's important." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Klopmeyer Posted April 5, 2002 Share Posted April 5, 2002 [quote]Originally posted by Anderton: [b]...maybe I should write a book or something.[/b][/quote]Yeah, that's what you need to do...write more. ;) Not that I'm comparing myself to the Mighty Anderton, but I find myself capable of nearly unlimited output in creativity and communications. I post like a fiend on musicplayer and on several other forums newgroups; I write entire brochures, ads, tech documents and more for my job every week; I blab like a fool on the phone; I write music nearly every day; I'm working on a novel-like thing; I'm producing two other artists...the list goes on. I can't speak for Craig here, but Steven King wrote something that intrigued me on this topic. He had published a series of books under a pseudnym (Richard Bachman), and explained why. His publishers were warning him that his output was so high, that he was saturating the book market. They weren't able to properly start promotion on one novel when he was already finished with the next one and had moved on to yet another. He analogized his creativity as being a horny hubby, and his publisher as a frigid wifey (his words, not mine). So, to accommodate his jones for creative output while still satisfying the business requirements of his publisher, he not only wrote a ton of books as Steven King, but also interspered them with a few Bachman books as well. It seems that the less effort I put into this stuff, the more/better the result is. The older I get, the more I believe in this aspect of Zen philosophy. What was I talking about? Hmmmm. Oh, well, gotta go write more stuff in other places for other things. - Jeff Marketing Communications for MI/Pro Audio My solo music and stuff They Stole My Crayon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anderton Posted April 7, 2002 Share Posted April 7, 2002 ...But with all that, I still couldn't find you at the Frankfurt Superbooth!!! That really sucked, because I wanted to ask you about remixing one of your brother's tunes...are there original multitracks, or were they recorded live? BTW do any of you have any idea how weird it is to read about oneself? It's very flattering though, and makes me feel really appreciated...and when I get a chance, I'll post some actual advice on how to maximize one's use of time, because I have learned a thing or two that y'all might find useful. Meanwhile, for what it's worth things have been a bit tough lately, and you folks have certainly lifted my spirits. Thanks a lot!!

Max Ventura Posted April 8, 2002 Share Posted April 8, 2002 Craig, my brother said he got signed the other week, and love to give you the NEW multitrack masters for you to remix. Just give him a ring at the restaurant next time you're in NYC or sooner. Max Ventura, Italy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
