Greetings and #GE
I would like to apologize for ghosting anyone interested in my progress on my musical endeavor. I regret to inform you that I had completely stopped production, meaning there will not be a second release of the VST Test. I'd like to apologize for the inconvenience, as Sendo and I had no interest in doing more HHC for the time being. If anything, after discussing things with him, he'll be doing HHC from now on, and I'll focus on other things.
To make up for that, I'm currently working on an audiobook version of a novel I wrote for the Fediverse Writing Month contest, and I'm already pretty deep into the book. Of course, I'm using Ardour, but I decided to use proprietary VSTs for professional production (mainly FabFilter plugins) for testing purposes. Sendo had done this on his podcast, the Neigsendoig Cocules Show, for a few episodes, and he said the plugins were really nice to use for his workflow (as apparently, Ardour with FabFilter plugins happened to be oddly satisfying).
I will NOT be releasing this onto YouTube, as it would be ToS banned due to extremely heavy topics that would just make the YouTube AI have an aneurysm (such as murder, cults, religion, etc.). Instead, I will be hosting it on @Wavlake once I get an account, and it will be as a podcast format. I will have individual chapters I read, plus the full book, for those who want either or. It's the biggest project I've ever worked on, and even Sendo agrees with me to quite an extent to begin with.
I won't be giving you the details of what the book is about, but I will say I wrote a fantasy novel that will probably resonate with a lot of Bitcoiners, voluntarists, and those who are against religious regimes like Roman Catholicism or Judaism. I hope that will certainly get that audience, as that's my entire goal. Of course, once I get this done, I will need to consult Sendo in order to plan for its release.
That's all I have for now, though.
