For those who aren't members of the Discord or following on Twitter, over the past few days, my sister has been determined to finally get my PC up and running!! This has been in the works for well over two years now. We've been collecting pieces even as far back as starting my ASMR channel.
Why is this a big deal? Well, this entire time I've been recording or streaming I've been doing so from a laptop. Most of my early ASMR content was recorded on my personal laptop which is slow, clunky, and at this point, literally held together with Elmer's glue. (No I am not kidding)
I DID get a new laptop back in December of 2023 which I've used to finally get started on streaming and it made rendering my videos for YouTube faster but even with that, my audio releases have been slow.
The reason is pretty simple, I didn't have a permanent recording set up.
Every time I wanted to record something I would have to get out my streaming laptop, get my microphone plugged in, and futz with settings, and then I'd be staring at a recording session for who knows how long. And it felt like every time I did set up my laptop my audio quality would vary wildly between uploads.
I know this all sounds irrelevant whining but for someone who struggles with executive dysfunction as badly as I do all of these additional steps made the entire process feel so drawn out and overwhelming. No matter how badly I wanted to record I'd freeze.
And that's why finally having a permanent workspace feels so special to me!! I finally have something I'm not going to have to put up and take down every time I want to do something. Now, I have something that I can learn and get familiar with and set up properly to achieve consistent sound quality. It runs so much faster than either of my laptops I'm so excited to actually get to use it!!
So I want to say thank you. Thank you to everyone who helped make this possible, either by supporting me on Patreon, watching my ASMRs, or hanging out with me on Twitch. It all means so much and quite literally would not have happened without you. Without you, I might still be living in a camping trailer on my dad's front lawn. I'm quite literally a fully crowd-funded vtuber and I wear that with pride.
Having a permanent setup is opening a lot of doors. Expect to see more content, both on the ASMR and vtubing side! I've also dipped my toes into doing live ASMR streams. I still don't have the audio interface needed to use my 3Dio but if you have suggestions for it when I do, what triggers you'd like, what you'd want it used for in YouTube audios, or just anything you want to see me record in general, let me know! I promise I read every comment, I keep the suggestions you make for audio RPs in mind. I want to make what YOU want to see so by all means leave any ideas you have in the comments and I'll try my best!
This is a bit rambly so I'll cut myself off here. I'm so, so excited for what this next chapter will bring!! Thank you again!
