No more presets or ableton racks. I'm sorry.

Really wish I didn't have to make this video but I am no longer posting preset or rack packs on here anymore.

Someone by the name LUVIUM (which is just a direct copy of illenium) decided to take a rack I sent him and try to sell it as his own. Because of that, I can no longer trust people with that stuff and will no longer be giving out anything of the sort. Sorry this scum bag had to ruin it for you guys.

From now on I will just make videos on how to make these racks but will not...

OBS sucks

Wassup shirk army

So OBS has been dumb recently and I have had to re-record videos multiple times and they still turn out messed up. For some reason the audio keeps cutting out for a few minutes at a time and I don't know until the video is recorded??? Not sure why this is happening but hoping it stops.

In the meantime I got a new pack for the Lucid Dreaming tier tomorrow so be on the lookout for that!

JULY

Hello my little shirklings,

The last month I have been trying to record videos to upload here for you guys, but honestly have been unhappy with how they turned out and found them not super helpful.

Update!

Hey all!!! Thank you so much for being patient with me.

Recently found out everything on my Patreon page was leaked, so I was trying to figure out how to keep everything private on here just for you guys. I know this happens all the time on these kinds of sites, but was just trying to find ways to keep making content without it being where it shouldn't be. With that being said, please keep everything here!!! This Patreon helps me pay my bills, so just keep everything on this page to you...
