But seriously, $3,000? That's a lot of cash to be spending on music software if one doesn't know how to write and compose original music for said software(s) before buying that much. Only way I would see someone shelling out that much money is if they plan on and attempting to produce tracks or albums for sale down the road to recoup the loss from the overall investment in the software. Call me frugal minded, but that's the most reasonable way I see it. Even if the purchases were spaced out over a period of time, that's still a lot to lose if you didn't try to pick up the knowledge beforehand and make plans to continue making music for the long haul... because there's always the huge risk of potentially losing interest when things start to get frustrating. End result, lots of money wasted. :-/

So yeah, while I do like to look at the brighter side of things in most cases, and my reasoning here seems a bit "unreasonable" in retrospect, I'm just not feeling that sunny disposition right about now, especially with the claim of that amount of money being wasted. My skepticism still stands. (・H・)
