i don't use patreon money for vocaloids anymore though...? i did when my patreon started over a year ago,.but lots can change in a year and i have bigger things i need to worry about outside of music. besides that, are we going to ignore that this summer i literally blew $500 on logic and final cut for the sole purpose of improving my music/pvs? for real can we PLEASE stop assuming what my financial situation is like and end that aspect of the discussion here

there's nothing wrong with criticism, i genuinely appreciate it when it's something i can learn and improve off of, but i don't see where anything you guys are saying is helpful? so far i've got "get other people to do half the work on a song for you because no one's gonna wait for you to improve, the mixing is subpar, this particular song was god awful from the start, also don't use flower like that". WHAT am i supposed to learn from that? yeah ok i won't use flower like that, but getting people to do shit for me is the complete opposite of what you're supposed to do when improving. yeah sure the mixing is subpar, but no one's telling me what i can do to make it not subpar (but apparently candle queen did it right so i'll just use that for reference????). this song was apparently a failure to begin with, but the only elaboration we've got is "because the vocaloids you have don't sound good with it" - so if i write another song and have trouble picking a singer, i should just scrap the song entirely? well obviously there's gotta be SOMETHING i can do to fix the instrumental right? but no one's giving me any actually useful criticism, all they're saying is "it was doomed from the start" so i guess i'm out of luck. does that make ANY sense? i heavily appreciate criticism but there's nothing i can benefit from in your comments, yet you guys sound so incredibly insistent and desperate for change that i can't just ignore your complaints either.

sidenote about self-deprecating jokes, i repeat what i hear, simple as that.

if it makes anyone feel better i know damn well i'm better off quitting music and focusing more on art, not just because my music is shit but because it's pretty obvious my mental health issues aren't mixing well with popularity whatsoever. it's just a hard decision to make, especially after working so hard this past year (and having just spent $500 and only gotten to use it on two songs lmao)
