and yet I post something anyway

I wasn’t going to post today, because HI SECOND THANKSGIVING HI HOUSECLEANING O SHIT HI HOUSECLEANING THERE CERTAINLY IS A LOT OF YOU ISN’T THERE XD but this is a pretty good six-input USB 2.0 audio interface that I suspect they’re discontinuing in favour of a USB 3.0 version. The Windows drivers apparently kinda blow donkeys if you care about that, but it’s also a USB 2.0 class-compliant audio interface (say the specs), so, sure, whatever. For $92 vs. street of $250? That’s pretty good.

YES I’VE ORDERED ONE don’t judge me and my impulse buying. (No, I didn’t get a kickback. Dammit.)

Talking of kickbacks, it’s HOLIDAY SEASON! TIME TO SHILL MY STUFF!

But! Music makes a great gift! And I need to pay for that audio interface! And I just set free shipping on second-third-fourth-etc copies of the physical full-band studio-recorded album, Dick Tracy Must Die! Order 10 physical CDs, get free shipping on nine! SUCH A BARGAIN!

Plus I’ll throw in magnets of evil (HOW DO THEY WORK?!) while supplies last. Then I’ll probably make some more, people seem to like them.

Wow, I’m bad at marketing. I hate this part, and I’m so totally bad at it. I’d rather play my bouzouki and chat people up after the show. XD

Do any of you guys sell your art? How do you handle the “sales” part?

I ordered one, too. Now to see whether it has usable Linux drivers.

Well, it absolutely doesn't, from them. But neither does the one I used for my album, but it's USB Audio Device 2.0 compatible (or so says the manufacturer's website, and Amazon) so that shouldn't matter, because! Linux has support for that. \o/

Clean all the things?

Also, anyone reading this, you should totally buy the album. It rocks.

And no, I'm not getting a kickback, either. I'm just a big fan of what solarbird has done on this record.

Clean all the things?
Sadly not all. But many of them.

I will occasionally do commissions, which is a little different, but that's all word of mouth marketing. I am horrible at marketing otherwise - which for now is good since usually I don't have time for commissions.

Getting advice on this is really difficult! I think it's because the people who can do it well are too busy having careers of note. XD
