Members Nillerbabs Posted March 29, 2009 Members Share Posted March 29, 2009 I need to gather a data set of at least 50 samples for my statistics class, but I could gather any sort of data that I wanted! Could you guys help me out here and just answer 3 short questions? I'll let you know what I come up with based on the data, assuming its of any interest. Depending on the response here, I may have to survey some other boards as well. 1. Value: About 7800 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Mediterranean Posted March 30, 2009 Members Share Posted March 30, 2009 4: if you are feeling brave, you can deal with this: I did when I was 10 or 11. And I lost 1/4 of my right calf.

Members ChristianRock Posted March 30, 2009 Members Share Posted March 30, 2009 Used prices are very volatile and I got some stuff through trades... so I'll just try to make a guess (if Ebay prices are available I'll just take the last price) 1.

Members Gribs Posted March 31, 2009 Members Share Posted March 31, 2009 Good gravy I am embarrassed to think about what my home studio gear is worth. So much stuff and so much fiddling around. 1) About 20K 2) I have wanted to play music for as long as I can remember. I can remember playing with the piano at my grandmother's house when I was a preschooler. I remember listening to Respighi with my mother when I was in preschool and day dreaming about fountains. She would listen to Rachmaninoff one day and the beatles or Pete Seeger the next. My dad introduced me to big band and swing, 50's rock and twangy guitar music like Duane Eddy. I listened to Puccini with my grandfather and my uncle Al (Algerd Brazis) was a Metropolitan opera singer (relatively famous among Lithuanian-Americans). I *begged* my parents to let me take music instrument lessons and play in the band. I am 43 so I guess put down 39 years. Dammit, I should be playing music for a living and not designing optical whatchamacallits for 3M. Our house is musically eclectic like that now too - my kids hear all sorts of stuff. 3) Not limited by gear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members tspit74 Posted March 31, 2009 Members Share Posted March 31, 2009 1.) $10K 2.) 30 years 3.) No. But that doesn't stop me from wanting more. I would say the gear is the least important element to my creative process. Actually, I never use the cool stuff on recordings. I use the easiest and quickest stuff. All the fun stuff I just use to space out and waste time and relax. Purely for fun but not at all productive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members akliner Posted March 31, 2009 Members Share Posted March 31, 2009 1.What is the total approximate estimated value of your owned gear currently? (ROMplers, synths, organs, pianos, epianos, grooveboxes, software, sequencers, samplers, etc. Any keys related stuff that you make music with) In all, including my PA and upright piano @ my parents' house, computer, interface, monitors, cables, etc. $15,000 2. How many years since you chose to start playing/creating music/taking an active interest in this direction? (i.e. Don't count childhood lessons that you were just dragged to) 18 Years 3. Do you feel limited by your current gear? No (although I'd love for somebody to buy me better studio monitors and a Yamaha C6 ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members swandiver Posted March 31, 2009 Members Share Posted March 31, 2009 I've taught an introductory research methods and statistics class a couple times at the college level, so I'll help a budding statistician. 1. $3,000 USD 2. Approximately 25 years. 3. Yes. Good luck with your assignment! Swandiver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Swami Digital Posted March 31, 2009 Members Share Posted March 31, 2009 1. ~21k 2. ~12 years 3. Sometimes, though not too often. 4. I have 2 gates and a moat where I am living currently.

Members swandiver Posted March 31, 2009 Members Share Posted March 31, 2009 P.S. You might improve your statistical results if you used an ordinal-level variable for question 3--i.e. "How much do you feel limited?": 0=not at all; 1= a little; 2= a moderate amount 3= a lot, 4= completely. (Or something like that). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gus Lozada Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 1) Including computers, DAW software, plug-ins, guitars, recording equipment, sets of monitors, mics and of course my synths and MIDI controllers, I guess it is right above $ 20k. 2) Started at age 6 (that means 31 years now) but I'd rather say +20 years. 3) No. I need two things: TIME and INSPIRATION (or a delivery date for a project!). Gear-wise, I'm fine. Could have more, obviously Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members swandiver Posted April 1, 2009 Members Share Posted April 1, 2009 Ah yes, a dichotomous nominal variable. This will allow you to practice different types of statistical tests. I encourage the HC community to respond to the survey and help a fellow member out. best,swandiver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
