Sekiro looks cool. I thought it was an Onimusha sequel at first, had no idea it had anything to do with Dark Souls.

It really doesn't. It has "bonfires" and respawning enemies, but beyond that it's pretty different.

I literally heard about it a few days ago, so I know very little about it except what a few streamers mentioned. Honestly it sounds more appealing now that you mention that.

It's hard as shit. As a decent Souls player, I can honestly say the game has kicked my ass up and down the place. I'm getting better though.

I have took part in a few livestreams I think were twitch.. My job was just to be there if they have audio problems, and help with moderating the chats though idk. I've never streamed video to it myself that being said, but I've been paid even for helping.. One of the people I know has a gold play button I think from youtube, and just went back to twitch because he was tired of getting demonetized.

Make a channel of you rapping or doing whatever. Music channels are pretty popular on Twitch as well.

Like we've talked about I still have a lot of things I can't employ from my own studio that I want employed in my individual work.. I am still unemployed atm which due to the nature of my last employer job security was pretty much explicitly made clear to be a nonexistent thing.. I made good money, but I'm also going solo on a home/home studio venture.. 

meh. I always have things in the works regardless.

So you can't make your own stream even if you don't work for someone? I'm confused. If you're unemployed what would be holding you back?

I don't have any cameras, and I havent invested in one yet.. A home studio.. especially if it is even worthy of being called one by my standards requires things WAY more expensive than I can yet invest in to be complete. I don't know how twitch works, but I'm currently slowing my pace to allow for much more respectable content to be made.

I don't just want to be a music channel on a lot of VIDEO platforms anyway. I want it to be a proper combination of music vids, and cinematic skits etc. I have a plan honestly. It requires a higher monthly income than just video editing/blogging or sharing my music to social media is ever going to get if you ask me so I don't stress it.

I am and I even stream from time to time but no one usually watches. I also upload a lot of stuff to Youtube but no one looks at those either although those are more for me to keep my stuff somewhere when xbox threatens to delete my stuff because I am running out of space.

I was referring more to the fact of job security being a factor (as I highlighted in red) but if it's just a matter of money, than honestly you don't have to invest that much. A capture card, and a microphone would be the most expensive thing I could see you investing in. A camera is only optional if you're just starting out. It's up to you if your standards will permit but its not as expensive as you might think.

Forgot to add that lots of times when I stream there are usually other IBers in the party with me. You can usually hear them talking and us being stupid. At times we play together and other times they are just in the background. It is nice because otherwise you'd just be hearing boring me and the game audio.

I'd watch it. If you know people that would be interested and you're real with people, networking is your best asset.

You are thinking way too small for what I have in mind, and your genre doesn't even require a lot of the components and editing capacity I was referring to. I just still have some work to do before I actually am able to make a business out of my music, and be satisfied with it. I get plenty of people telling me just to go with what I have, but like I said it's not enough for me. 

I could easily spend at least half a grand on some stuff just to have the same tools a lot of low end producers in my genre use like nothing to write a simple section of one of their beats. It's a building endeavor honestly, and without the proper foundation it's pretty stupid to try to build a fan base for it. 

That being said you are right.. I have all the tools I need to 'dub' over a base hiphop track, and rap.. Those arent hard to get though. :|

We still need to finish Gears 2.

Genre has nothing to do with it. A rapper would only really need is a DAW, a midi controller, and a mic (half a grand but can get you good results). If you have the core of what you need, your art will speak for itself. Thinking that you need more technology could be a double edged sword, it can either inspire or dilute what you are trying to accomplish. Also you don't need to do any special video editing. Most streaming software is free and, from what I can tell, pretty customizable.

I don't just want to be a fucking rapper I already said that.. Since you don't make vocals at all it might be hard to understand, but I grew up in a music background.. That's not all I'm even trying to do is rap. I'm actually about to continue a 'rap' project just involving me providing vocals, and it always pisses me off. I can't cut and splice sections of shit together if it's not my beat, out of respect, and I'm probably going to have to be responsible for everything involving me turning it into a song...

I don't even explicitly edit rap channels or freaking take part in the whole rap scene.. Last thing I took part in was a live stream hiphop beat, but before that it was a fucking satirical comedy video.

Na...cause after I’m done I can’t go back and rewatch all my old content...I have a YouTube channel instead....

You can export your streams from twitch to youtube. I do that after I broadcast so that I won't lose them.

Actually dude you didn't say you didn't just want to be 'a fucking rapper'. Also I do record my own vocals and it isn't difficult at all to understand because I know how audio engineering works, and I've been doing it for years - I'd like to think I'm pretty damn good as well. I may not come from a musical family or anything like that but don't be patronizing and try telling me I don't know what I'm talking about when it comes to editing someone's voice. lol Also, if you're recording yourself and doing everything, what's the problem? Seriously, WTF? xD

I just don't know where you're trying to go with this, I have 3 DAWS on this system, but unless I invest in stuff like an MPC, DTA converters, digital synth tech and a full dj set up with Vinyl mixing capability I can't get down like I want and provide the same quality a lot of the paid producers I promote, and align with do. 

K?

I'm not trying to go anywhere with anything. I'm just trying to give sound advice without trying to assume too much. You on the other hand up to this point haven't been too specific with anything and assumed I knew exactly what you had and what you wanted to do as well as assuming I had some kind of ulterior motive. God damn why the fuck do I even bother? ASSHOLE!

Because you are trying to give me sound advice.. I guess? is what you're trying to do? I don't even know. Like I said I take part in a lot of music communities on youtube, and multiple platforms. Most of them have reached out to me even I didn't go looking. Lofi radio channels are crazy popular, but it is FAR from one artist making any singular beat in a lot of cases.. It's honestly just a community music thing hiphop sharecroppers blah blah.. No hard feelings man. 

I just got frustrated since a lot of people here seem to think writing words is my only forte, but I get where your going.. I only continued, because if I felt I had all my gear, and shit together you'd of come across a lot more work I've took part in. ^_^

I never asked for any kind of advice if you can recall..

I should be asking you that. xD

I just don't get what you are even on about? You don't know a lot about current genres or synthesizers hell.. that's what I'm working on honestly. :|

Theres's a lot of great tools out there, and I mean I do think they get over used a lot today, but you'd be bullshiting if you tried to tell me every major studio entity involved in producing anything didn't employ all of the tech, or at least have it at their disposal, and most of what do involves editing. I'm done though. I just don't get what your talking about regarding music channels. I need a band I guess?  an in/out for every live instrument which would cost ONE person A LOT to do?

Meh.
