For the longest time I was wondering why having particularly network-intensive processes led to problems with opening my DAW, sometimes even having it crash...

Answer: It was the iLok cloud dongle. 😒

No, you don't get it, there's a HUGE difference in moving the volume slider down that 0.1 dB, I swear,

Wondering if I should put another song on hold and start from scratch again. Normally I really do hate stopping things midway, but right now I think I'm too intimidated by working on something more experimental like this, which makes me demotivated to work on it at all...At this rate, nothing will go forward, and it's better to at least be doing something at all than to force myself 💦

Ah, don't you love electronics shopping, where 80% of the reviews are "worked fine" and 20% are "it exploded in my face and shorted out everything I own"

In 2014 I convinced myself that since I'm just a "hobby" composer, I have no good justification for getting a hard drive larger than 1 TB. Today, I'm looking at my list of VSTs and my current hard drive allotment and feeling a bit irritated at my past self...

Good series.

I'm absolutely torn apart saying this, but:

1) my desktop computer has stopped booting
2) my audio interface has also stopped working

so I will be out of commission music-wise for at least a week now OTL;;

The audio interface is easily replaceable, but the desktop computer issue not so much. All the data is salvageable since it's on a separate hard drive, but I have no idea how to diagnose this issue or how long it'll take. I'm so sorry about all projects this may impact.

All the VSTs are on sale...Help............

This month I am finally -- *finally* going back to working on solo music. It's been way too long and at this rate it really is going to become a year since I last made a full-on solo song >>;; It's not that I don't enjoy working on collaborative stuff, and one look at my portfolio indicates I've been active as ever the entire last year, but I really just miss the feeling of doing something For Myself By Myself, you know?

My goal this year was to make a new single/mini-album (depending on how it'd pan out), and I was planning on doing another limited-edition physical print, but right now making physical prints seems very inadvisable...

But I also don't want to put the single on hold just because of that, so I may just have to accept that this one's going to be digital-only and "skip" it in terms of planned physical prints. Ah, it hurts, but what can you do...
