I’m just chilling at home all day. I was supposed to work on some new music but was too lazy. I have work again tomorrow so might as well make the most of my not doing anything.

Thanks! Yeah, even I am still continuously learning new things. In fact, I recently reset my mixing/mastering workflow and started fresh, because of new stuff I learned. I do different genres, but this time it’s gonna be a prog industrial metal instrumental album.

Making music. I’ve started working on a new EP, probably around 5 songs, that I plan to release within 3 months.

I don’t get hate DM’s but I do get an occasional message saying good things about my music when I post something. Then it turns out to be a scammer or someone offering whatever social media marketing scheme (which is probably a scam too).

Same feeling with mixing and mastering music. I know I’m done and ready to release when I can’t bear to listen to it anymore.

Make music. I record and produce my own music in my home studio. I sometimes don’t realize I’ve been in there for hours until I need to pee.

Playing music (jamming or performing) together. Nothing beats getting into a groove with fellow musicians.

I’m using OneRPM at the moment. Other than the sometimes frustrating approval process, they have been ok. It’s free with the 30% cut. I don’t get enough streams to earn a significant amount so it made the most sense to me vs using a paid distributor.

I never did lol. I play by ear to this day. It does make it difficult to play songs on the fly, especially when on stints as a session musician where I have to learn an entire set list of songs quickly. But for my own original work, it hasn’t really hindered me.

And here I am struggling and fighting with my distributor ever time I upload a new instrumental album because they can’t confirm that it’s all original work.
