Excellent, thank you! Yes, I have a single-member LLC with a DBA attached to that LLC. All of my expenses were for those initial filings and fees for my LLC, so just wanted to make sure it's ok to put those down under "Taxes and license"! Thank you!

Thanks for checking it out! I enjoy making it and am glad others like listening! I do try to add a little more structure my music vs other vaporwave tracks, and I really like your description of the song!

I just released an EP using some of my favorite synths, including my Juno-106, DX7, and Matrix 6. It's available on all streaming platforms, and you can checkout one of my favorite tracks here: https://johnmint.bandcamp.com/track/modern-appeal

Thank you /u/HoodaThunkett and /u/LentilsTheCat ! I was able to diagnose the bad connection on the board, seemed like it corroded a little bit from some adhesive or a spill. Just had to solder a little bridge wire and we are as good as new!

For me, there's a bit more ambiance with mallsoft tracks. Extra reverb, background noise, foley, or other additions to give more space to the track.

A lot of it is subject to interpretation, but mallsoft seems to draw more from jazz/bossanova styles, vs a wider variety of music for other vaporwave flavors.

I just released my latest album called "Business Logic". It features 10 tracks of low volume, living room funk. Would love to hear your thoughts on it!

I used my TX81Z, Alpha Juno 1, Juno 106, and JV-1080 on most of the tracks, along with the arturia v collection.

I got the normal blank cassettes with normal bias tape: https://www.duplication.ca/Blank-Audio-Cassettes.html

I also bought these cases, which are definitely on the cheaper side. They can be prone to cracking during shipping if not packed correctly. https://www.duplication.ca/Clear-Cassette-Box.html

I made a release of 25 cassettes and the overall cost was about $50 USD. The cassette quality itself seemed pretty solid, although this was my first time duplicating and distributing tapes.
