Quick Update on My Situation

Posted by ADR3-N - 1 month 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!

I'll take hugs any day. It's been a crazy month, and I really didn't think I'd make it. I'm still not expecting to be back to music soon, but sooner rather than later is good enough for me!

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

Not ALL of the book is about music per se. Myself, I don't know a whole lot about music theory -- I mean more than your average person, but less than someone like Jacob Collier, or even your average church musician. But if you can translate from conversational English, that would be a great help

BBBBBBB (cuz I'm a rebel)

@ADR3-N
Well, if you still have those slots available, I might be of some help then)

Can never be enough translators -- one translator can check the work of the others! When I'm finished with the English version I'll contact you!

@ADR3-N
Okay!

Glad to hear that! I’ll have to look into your samples sometime :D

@ADR3-N I'm checking how the situation is evolving and I am very happy to see it's getting more and more support. I finally managed to support you via ko-fi even if it's just a small contribution. Keep rocking!

Thank you so much! Thanks to you and @zeroizeroizero we are 98% of the way to the goal and way ahead of schedule! Realistically speaking I could pay the rest of it off today but I'm making sure I have no unexpected bills for the month besides.

I need a new set of tires and a tie rod for the car, so I've been mostly stuck home nursing that -- dangerous to drive above 40 mph with a busted band and bad tie rod. But other than that everything is okay. I've been lucky enough to have a few hours as well to peek back into my projects as well.
