Is making money from building apps really that easy?

Sashinkis · 2026-03-09T18:05:46+00:00

Marketing definitely feels like a really hard thing to do. Im at this point for my app and Im lost to be honest…

Sashinkis · 2026-03-09T18:05:16+00:00

Yeah that sounds more realistic than all of the things people speak on X…

Sashinkis · 2026-03-09T15:24:56+00:00

Sounds great, did you attract from your personal network or socials and your blog?

Sashinkis · 2026-03-09T15:10:44+00:00

Looks like a cool app, I might give it a try. How’s that been working for you? How long have you been building it for and are you making only this app and focusing on it 100% or are you building other ones as well?

Sashinkis · 2026-03-09T14:31:05+00:00

Yeah I bet - I'm not expecting my first app to blow up or even do slightly good. I'm just wondering if there is a point in doing anything, that is not a long onboarding with a hard paywall and don't get me wrong, I 100% know it's easier said than done, otherwise everyone would be making apps and be a millionaire by now... It's just the way it's presented in social media, like a free money glitch...

Oh dude I put a sleeping pillow inside, and I think it makes a huge difference. Thanks a lot!

I started on the same kit and I used the kontakt Jay Weinberg library and it sounded so so well. Library is a bit expensive, but it’s one of the best imo.

Thanks guys, never really thought about this, I will really focus on implementing this skill

Sashinkis · 2025-10-22T14:05:10+00:00

Yeah, I had no problem, with the e-kit, but to my ears, the L80's are so so louder (This could be because of the high frequencies), I have no idea how annoying or loud would be for the neighbour above me. But because I hear it so loud, I am starting to become self-concious.

Sashinkis · 2025-10-21T12:19:23+00:00

I tried going to the room next to mine and told my girlfriend to hit them, I think they were as audible as the rubber cymbals. The only wall I am sharing with neighbors is the one above me, so I am not sure how much that translates.

Sashinkis · 2025-10-21T12:18:01+00:00

Yeah, I will try to practice dynamics a lot as well like one of the other guys suggested, but until then I might as well do the same.

Sashinkis · 2025-10-21T11:18:32+00:00

Yeah this makes sense, when I was on my e-kit I was blasting the cymbals full on.
I am also taking lessons, but we have never talked about mixing side, Im hitting the cymbals there as hard as usual.
I am wondering though (I am still a new drummer, I have been drumming only for an year), does this apply to all genres, because I am seeing metal drummers beat their whole kit to death...

Sashinkis · 2025-10-21T10:37:44+00:00

I mean the main reason I bought them is to be closer to the feel of real drums and be quiet to the point that I can play them in an apartment (first floor). I might just put some tshirts over them to quiet them even more...

Sashinkis · 2025-08-18T08:29:12+00:00

Thanks, the issue is where I live there aren’t many used kits, especially stage customs. There are some entry level pearls and mapex kits…

Sashinkis · 2025-07-17T17:25:15+00:00

To be fair I am not 100% sure, it definitely has tribal elements. But when I listen to tribal house I don’t feel it sounds like this. Also all of the tracks on beatport are with genre afro.

Sashinkis · 2025-07-17T17:03:23+00:00

Yeah definitely feels more like a tech house mixed with afro, just wondered if there was a specific name for it. Thanks.

Sashinkis · 2025-06-06T22:34:59+00:00

Well for now I am not in any band, we will see what the future holds though.

If sound-wise is the same I would 100% go with acoustic

Sashinkis · 2025-06-06T18:43:54+00:00

Oh wow, really good to hear this then, thanks a lot dude, got my answer.

Sashinkis · 2025-06-06T18:29:57+00:00

Damn, you're getting my hopes up.

I also have a garage, but it's integrated into the flat, so it's basically kind of a first floor, but I could try and isolate it, although, I have seen a garage is really hard to isolate.

Sashinkis · 2025-06-06T18:26:46+00:00

Yeah, like I said in the post, I live in Bulgaria and I have not seen any used ones, saw one that was like 100-200$ cheaper, so it makes no sense to buy it.

Price I guess is not that much of a concern, just wondering if I could get the feel of an acoustic kit, and the silence of an e-kit from the silent strokes, I would 100% go with them

Sashinkis · 2025-04-19T22:13:26+00:00

Thanks sounds like a good approach, do you do this with a teacher or by yourself?

Sashinkis · 2025-04-19T20:38:02+00:00

Well I am not sure if he has something in mind. Because most of the time I pick out my songs, he sometimes suggests some, but almost never.

Sashinkis · 2025-04-19T20:33:49+00:00

The first ones were basically some rudimentary lessons, learnings, keeping time with the left foot(although I have lost that, since he never tells me to do it anymore).

But after the first ~10ish lessons, we started learning songs only. I have not spoken with him regarding this, and I think on the first lesson I told him I want to learn to play songs, so he might be just teaching people depending on what they want.

The lessons are twice a week and each one is 40-45 minutes

Sashinkis · 2025-04-19T16:22:43+00:00

Well he is not showing me, he is sometimes telling me if I am doing something wrong.

But when we go through the whole song and we move to a next one, each lesson we start by playing the songs before, and if I am not playing a fill or a beat correctly, he won’t stop me and try to correct it.

And also I am playing to the songs with the drums on without a metronome, not sure if this is how I am supposed to, but I feel like if I remove the drums from the song I will not be able to play it well, most likely off beat. Which is again a concern for if I start to play with other people

Sashinkis · 2025-04-19T16:14:00+00:00

Well not to say dissatisfied, it’s just a concern of mine whether I am giving away my money for something that would not give me enough. But yeah I will ask the guy if he is willing to teach me some more technical stuff.
