    Quick Update on My Situation

    Posted by ADR3-N - 2 days ago


    Hey guys, me again. Just a drive-by update on how everything is going since the predatory loan and everything else happened.


    Well, I have a way to contact the outside world again. Your donations have saved me. My car still needs work, but it's looking like I'll still have a roof over my head by the end of this!


    I won't @ everyone for the 3rd time, but thank you so much! Very soon, maybe even in a month, I can mark this as complete, and start worrying about NEW problems!

    What all has happened since?


    Well, my birthday came and went with little ceremony. Luckily I like it that way. I grew a few more grey hairs and lost some weight, but I'm doing okay!


    I haven't had time for music, but I have been stealing a few hours here and there to work on my book.


    It's a production help resource which will release on Gumroad for free.


    It promises to be a serious undertaking.


    ETA to be determined, but if anyone wants to beta-read or assist in translating to Russian, I'm open. You will receive copious amounts of credit.


    So far I've written over 50 pages across multiple topics, including:


    • hardware
    • plugins
    • common ills
    • motivation
    • mix issues
    • mastering
    • scams
    • streaming hacks
    • starting capital
    • sales
    • distribution
    • licensing
    • savings
    • social media dos and don'ts
    • investments


    Basically, everything you need to start your music career off right.


    I even wrote on how to get paid to play video games, for those who can't afford the serious expenses a music career typically demands. You know -- distro, licensing, interfaces, microphones, plugins, the next doo-dads.


    I even plan to go over ALL of my essential plugins, which could be a masterclass in itself.


    It goes without saying, it's not just comprehensive. It's a lot to unpack.


    I still have some cutting to do, which is hard.


    Every day seems to bring with it another bright idea, which I guess is to be expected when you're me.


    But this is crazy. I'm legit sitting here cramming 20 years of music experience into one book.


    You'll be heartened to know I'm keeping up with a to-do list. As the sum of my whole career, my magnum opus of music producer tips, I very much intend to get this done.


    And I haven't forgotten about my other projects. I still need to upload some covers and remixes to Gumroad, but things are falling into place.


    When I resume working on music, I'll circle back to my Free Metal Drums with a freshly minted selection of Paiste cymbal samples. Debating whether to release them as an update or a separate pack. It's getting rather large.

    I also have a few plugin announcements I will more than likely append in the comments some time later. Please comment "AAAAAAA" if interested, and I will @ you when the time comes.


    Anyway, I'll see you guys again soon.


    Thanks again. I couldn't do this without you! <3

    Great to hear you're doing okay! Adrean! Your book is going to be awesome!

    You can't image how happy I am reading this about your situation. Even if I couldn't donate, I checked almost every day to see if the number increased in the donation pool. Keep it up! I know we don't know but I still feel the need to send you a virtual hug since this fills my heart with joy!

    Glad that things are getting better

    Glad to hear you are doing better!
    I have some experience in translating but I don't know anything about making music so I doubt I will be a good beta-reader or translator for your book
