There are sample libraries that you can buy that you can use forever I think but typically they charge $$ up front for them. Probably don't want 'hardcore techno' but I know that Industrial Strength records offer this sort of thing. There are also generic music for licensing or purchase for use via
www.apmmusic.com. I had to listen to that stuff and log it when I worked as a temp at "famous talk show" so that the artists got their royalties for useage in the program.
I want to set up a corner of my room with a chair and my video camera for recording my practices. I've only wanted to do this for 20 years or so... I still have Cakewalk on my first computer that I bought in 1996 and half of a guitar synth system. Feels like I'm not supposed to do anything fun until everything is organized and I have no obligations to anyone else... and I fear that when I finally have the guilt-free time to do things I will be physically incapable...
Also planned to build a vocal isolation booth for it's stated purpose and more likely - 'primal screaming' to vent my ongoing frustration with life in general.

PS. Today's insomnia background track was "Far Beyond the Sun" by Yngwie Malmsteen. Thought maybe 2012 is the year I finally master it. I've only had the sheet music / tablature for 15-20 years...
