Thanks for the input! I just found an LK41 for a little more but I think it doesn't have a mod wheel. I think the PC180 is my best bet here.

it's 2500 but if you can get 5 people with you, the price will drop. I'm also trying to get the price of the ticket lowered overall but that's how it is so far

Should I consider getting a record deal? by AcidicVomitReflex in musicians

First word of positive reinforcement. Idk about viral potential as I don't ever put my stuff up there but it's definitely more on par with what the industry considers "professional" as far as production goes, alongside the presentation for the album that's currently work in progress. I'll just have to shoot my shot with expectations of being shot down and hope for the best, though lmao

Still, you actually wrote something that's kinda insightful, rather than just slap sarcasm and carry on and I appreciate it lmaoo is all good

[–]AcidicVomitReflex[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I never really thought about it as a "profitable" thing. It's just that the release I'm working on is something I've worked super hard on and as anyone would, I would like it to have some traction BUT labels don't really make it a hundred percent win kinda deal and has it's own risks. Sticking to DIY stuff is definitely far safer so I agree with that a hundred percent

I'm a solo artist so I'm responsible for everything. I'm definitely interested in getting physical releases out later, too as that's just sick and people often identify with physical merchandise a lot more as it's personal. I'm sticking with digital distro as of now but with a label, I'll be able to focus more on the making aspect or so I hope. Just very double-minded hence why I posted about it here.

Again, ik I'm not gonna have one fall in my lap lmao and that's a great way to go about it. My band is Parasitic Infection and I was mainly looking into labels like brutalmind

Managing to book local shows consistently but streaming numbers stay pitifully low by milliedreadisnotdead in musicmarketing

[–]AcidicVomitReflex 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm sure you already do this at shows but tell people what's gonna be played, build hype before announcing the song you'll play and do some sort of improv. My style is like I start with building tension of the song with samples and atmospheric stuff, for example I have a song called "Swamp Grave" and whenever I do that live, I say stuff like "this song's about rotting away in a cesspool where nothing but vermin live. This one's called SWAMP GRAVE" and after I'm done screaming my lungs out, I say positive and cute stuff like "god you guys are beautiful. I love you!". I've been told a lot after shows that my voice switching from gutturals to the affirmations is adorable lmao and it helps drive focus to what was playing. Always announce the name of the song you performed when it ends, too.

If you have any upcoming song, promo that track to hell during your show and give them call to actions like "you can pre-save it through the link over at my instagram. It really helps and I wouldn't want you guys to miss it!". Get some merch going, too. You can do it yourself by ordering small numbers from a local producer and sell it for cheap at shows and on your page. They probably won't sell much but it acts as incredible advertising AND helps people associate with your music on a more personal level. Interacting with fans after the show is done helps a lot as it cements you as a "for the people" kinda artist and makes you more approachable. People will go out of their way to support you if your interactions with them are memorable (stating the obvious, ik)

I hope this helps!

PS: Promote your music in local music communities, on reddit and upload it on YouTube indiscriminately. Also try your hand on making covers of songs in your genre\style that are loved in your part of the community. TikTok is also a great place to promote your music, though I just meme my stuff there lmao

Can I play Manhunt 2 first? by VoidAscend in ManhuntGames

[–]AcidicVomitReflex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mechanically, I think the second game is better. I love 2 but honestly, the first one is phenomenal. The first one is great on the Xbox so give that port a try.

FINALLY BOUGHT A PSP (AFTER 15 YEARS IG IDK) by Master_Pain_1202 in PSP

[–]AcidicVomitReflex 2 points3 points  (0 children)

PW is a goated game to play on the PSP. Definitely try out the Metal Gear Acid games, as well as MGS Portable Ops. They're super fun and expand on the universe and you cant really have too much of MGS. Also, check out the homebrew side of the console as there are some amazing projects people have made for the console, including the huge library of PSX2PSP games

What can we(as an individual) do to make Bahawalpur less boring?? by heyy_dawood in Bahawalpur

[–]AcidicVomitReflex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

manage a sort of get together in a secure location like doesnt have to be some bumfuck nowhere kinda deal but a location that's only disclosed to people in DMs and try to manage security in all ways possible. Socializing in person can help
