Hello! I launched my shiny new blog last week. I write stuff for people who make music.

Have a look. It would also be a huge help if you boosted this toot. https://kyefox.com/

What would be cool: owning a computer capable of recording Serum as I make a patch in it. OBS just chokes and stops recording after 1-10 seconds. Boost, throw money in, tell your friends.

Music-making blog, where I'd post such videos: https://kyefox.com/

Patreon, where the $10+ crowd gets bonus content (beyond the stock archive at $5) https://www.patreon.com/kyefox

I just posted "What #ActivityPub means for musicians" https://kyefox.com/2019/01/30/what-activitypub-means-for-musicians/

Hi. My laptop's battery won't even hold enough charge to sleep overnight now. It's $50 to replace, but I'd rather put $50 toward a computer better suited to my needs.

Want to make that possible?

99% of bad articles are basically unrefined drafts. I had an editor once! He knocked all my bullshit back and made me think, for real.

Sites like Gawker and co, Daily Dot, etc may have editors, but they don't seem to do anything for the development of their writers.

They publish every absurd generalization, extreme notion, and failure to look deep that writers come up with. I don't want to say it's on purpose, but I do see a pattern.

These are also 100% dry. That means they sound awful when I load them up in place of Serum on the song because there's no processing.

I turned the Void Friend instruments into sound fonts! Grab them here and load them up in your favorite SFZ player. https://www.patreon.com/posts/void-friend-24044238

I made a pack of 27 wavetables for Serum. Comes with 3 presets and MIDI loops to show you the use I had in mind, plus fully-utilized macro knobs so you can come up with your own use.

I'm assembling a playlist of videos on sound design and synthesizer basics. What am I missing? https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLFbM-1Y6DrcKnmxogqy8tsSJxQ1WuH0mN

I want this to be the kind of place where you can come in and talk about music and be a queer furry at the same time without a Dread EDM Bro making a scene.

I've decided to open up a non-expiring Wavebenders Discord invite for 100 people. Boosts are appreciated!

I put off cancelling under the sunk cost mindset. I registered some of them for a couple years...

So I had to reframe: I'm not throwing ~$40 away. I'm avoiding spending more when I'm at my most vulnerable.

On that note...

Getting a few more patrons would help me feel better about the wasted money. Boosts are appreciated. https://www.patreon.com/kyefox

And it tells me I need to get ahead of it and cancel the ones I’m planning to let expire rather than wait for a string of renewal reminders when I’m at the worst point in it. It’s weird. I spent years upset because I couldn’t afford domains for project ideas. Now I can afford so many that it almost got away from me when I needed to focus on one.

Knowing it, I have the power to stop letting it run the show. I can find ways to cope and thrive if I know it’s going to pass

I went over bank records and apparently I make most of my worst spending decisions from September to February. Falls off a cliff in March.

I made one yesterday. Bought a domain for yet another persona. Put it on my list of renewals, all yearly on the day of initial registration, and they’re all in that range. At least this one is in the refund period.

I'm cutting down on the social media things I use for now to focus on what I need and want. Email me for an invite to my Discord server if you want to keep up.

You can get instant access with a special title through my Patreon for as little as $1. #OneDollarPatreon

And it's expired. I think I'm going to do occasional 24 hour invites. You can always get in without waiting by subscribing! #OneDollarPatreon https://www.patreon.com/kyefox

I set up some Patreon stuff for Discord. $1+ gets you the silver oscillator title. $5+ gets you the golden oscillator title. Also, subscribing on Patreon lets you in even if I close invites down.
