It was 10 days late, but this blog turned 2 on 14/3 this year!
(It happens to be the same day as Plugin Boutique)
Thanks to many people coming to see it, I was able to continue for 3 years safely.
Thank you to everyone who supported us in the comments.
Last year was a difficult year due to the influence of Corona.
It had nothing to do with Corona, but the fact that my father passed away was a big event in my life.
In terms of profits, the influence of Corona has also reduced the income of both affiliates and other jobs.
Affiliates average down to around 6 a month.
(Last year around 10 a month)
If you can increase your blog income and get more time, you will be able to write higher quality articles, so I would be grateful if you could support us.
Support is via this sitePlugin Boutique,ADSR,APD,VST BUZZ,WA productionIf you buy it at, about 10% to 15% will be my income.
(I file a tax return properly)
I would be grateful if you could give us your opinion in the comments without purchasing it.
(The reply rate is 100%)
At present, most of those incomes are used for plug-in purchase costs and I write articles on how to use them.
There is an NFR license that you can get for the purpose of writing a review, but I rarely use it.
The reason is that if you get an NFR license, you can't write very bad things, and I think that sontaku will occur. (So I usually buy quite a lot)
You can live a life if you do other work, but the biggest challenge is to get time.
Looking back on last year and goals for this year
Last year, we set the following goals.
・ Clarify which plug-in is recommended for what kind of person as a plug-in curator
・ We will take up the hardware little by little.
・ "I don't need anything that I don't need here"
・ Introducing lesser-known developer plugins
・ Challenge new things
Click here for last year's article
It is a reflection of each.
Spread the fun of DTM to many people
This is the basis of this blog, so we will continue to focus on this blog.
It's more like a corporate philosophy than a goal.
I think how to lower the entrance to let people know the fun of DTM.
That's why the article contains information about how to download and how to use it.
When I touch an app of a completely different genre, I realize it, but if I stumble on something without knowing anything, I lose motivation at once and the hurdle to continue rises.
If you stumble before you know the fun, it's only natural that you won't continue.
Clarify which plugin is recommended for whom as a plugin curator
It's quite biased, but I try to describe what kind of genre is recommended for people who make plug-in sales. (Please forgive that there are many Lo-Fi systems)
However, as a reflection, I could only write 6 review articles, so I would like to improve it a little next year.
This year, we set a goal of writing at least 10 review articles.
I will take up the hardware little by little
I couldn't do it at all last year.
At first I was thinking of doing modular, but I'm frustrated by the financial part.
Modular will be withheld until the funding issue is resolved.
(Because the demand is low when it comes to hardware modularity)
This year, we will focus on the hardware area where DTM becomes convenient.
It is Sanwa Supply's that I am actually using and thinking about making an article nowNT-19UH2BKN.
I'm trying to use it in FL Studio.
(To be honest, it's super convenient for web browsing than FL Studio)
"I don't need anything that I don't need here."
Last year, we carefully selected the information to be published.
I rarely write articles about plugins or free information that I haven't tried.
Of course, if you don't need all the things you don't need, it's different, so it's a difficult place.
That's why I added a small story that disappears 7 days after the middle of last year to my daily articles.
I haven't tried it in this small story, but I tried to pick up information that seems to be good.
There are two reasons why we try to make it disappear after 7 days.
・ I want to improve maintainability
If the sale information that is too busy to be published in the article is delivered as a small story, but disappears after 7 days, maintenance is not required.
I think this is working fine for now, so I'll keep going.
Introducing a little-known developer plugin
Last year I wrote an article with this goal in mind.
I didn't set it as a numerical target, but I started to write more and more plugins that I thought were good.
Challenge new things
Not done at all.
I was thinking of creating content, but I had lowered the priority, so it was almost unstarted.
I will put this on hold.
This year's goal
This year's goal is to increase the number of numerical targets.
The above four are the same as last year, but the specific contents have been revised.
・ Write 10 or more reviews
・ Write at least 2 articles on hardware that makes DTM convenient
・ Introduce lesser-known developer plugins once a month
The new goals for this year are:
・ Site maintenance
Site maintenance
There are two main things to do:
・ Delete unnecessary articles
・ Correction of broken links
Currently, there are about 2,700 articles on this blog.
Free and sale articles are accumulated, and 1000 articles can be deleted.
And there are currently 60 broken links.
(Actually, there were more than 200 in the middle of last year)
We will take the following measures for maintenance.
・ Always keep broken links below 20
By doing these things, I hope I can reduce the situations that people who see this blog feel uncomfortable.
Summary
I have entered the fourth year, so I will work on it again.
There may be many changes in the method, but I will continue to write one article every day.
We will do our best to create a blog that you can come and enjoy every day.
Comment
Nice to meet you.
I have seen it from before.
Congratulations on the 3rd year since the blog was opened.
As a clue to using FL, tips etc. are very helpful.
Thank you very much.
Even though the market share is high, there are few things written in Japanese, and I am very grateful for the useful information.
It is now the number one site visit. (Thank you for your hard work every day.)
Please keep doing a good job.I support you!
I made a comment because I wanted to support him not a little.
What should I do to purchase a plugin via the site?
TM
Nice to meet you.
thank you for your comment.
I'm glad to hear that it was helpful.
I will continue to write FL articles, so please come and visit us.
Thank you for your concern!
You can purchase via the site by following the link on this site.
While lagging behind
Congratulations on your XNUMXrd anniversary!
Not only the sale information, but also the usage and good and bad are written from Yosi's point of view, and thank you for the convincing article!
I am impressed with the solid goals.
It's amazing to continue one article every day, including small stories, for three years.It's updated every day, so everyone will come to see it!
I'm sure you're busy, but I'm looking forward to it.
Asan
Sorry for the late reply.
Thank you for your comments and compliments!
It's hard every day, but I'll do my best if there are people who come to see it.
Please come and visit us in the future.

Hello.I am always indebted to you. This is NM.
I think I wrote it last year, but I check this blog on the commuter train.The biggest change from last year is that I also introduced FL studio!This is also the influence of yosi!I also changed to M1mac.Sometimes it's dropped by a third party plugin, but I can handle it.
Speaking of which, I decided to introduce Cthulhu (I referred to the interaction with the fans on this site).Well, there is such a convenient thing ...I'm really learning a lot!
I think last year was a tough year for my family, but please be careful about your health and do your best this year as well.
I look forward to working with you!
NM
Thank you for your comment.
I really want you to read it on the commuter train, and it's open every day at 7 am, so I'm happy.
You bought the M1mac!
As far as I envy.
Developers are steadily announcing support for M1, so I think it will be much easier to use in a little more time.
You also introduced Cthulhu!
I'm glad it was useful.
Cthulhu It's really good, but it's not on sale so it's hardly talked about.
(I feel that there are quite a few people who are using it.)
I was very encouraged by the message when my father died.
Thank you very much for that time.
Thank you for your continued support.
Congratulations on your XNUMXrd anniversary!
I like IDM, so when I introduce a plug-in, I just want the name of a Warp artist.
I sometimes post recommended music, but if there is good music, I want you to send it out more and more.I want to hear it so lol
Relief noise
thank you for your comment.
Well then, I have to research thoroughly and introduce more and more plug-ins that can be used in IDM systems.
When there isn't much information about small stories, I'll try to include a song introduction!
(I will also add a little nostalgic system)
It is also encouraging to be able to set a goal, execute it for three years, and then look back and show that you are setting a new goal.
Blog income has decreased, hasn't it?I always want this to be evaluated as much as I can in my main business.
I will set my own goals and do my best!
Thank you always so much.
Thanks to "fans of this site", I am very encouraged.
One of my characteristics is that I tend to do my best when there are other people's eyes, so the message "I'm watching" is very motivating.
(No doubt, I'm more concerned about quality than before, and I'm motivated to update it in a very good way!)
Blog income has decreased, but the number of PVs has increased, so I think that many people are influenced by Corona.
Also, I myself did a lot of other work last year, so I think the reason is that the number of sale articles has decreased by that amount.
This year, I will focus on maintaining the site.
(We will also focus on increasing the number of PVs so that it can be firmly established as our main business)
I'm supporting you with a little effort, so I'd be happy if you could feel free to write about the progress.
Congratulations on your 3rd anniversary, though it's late.
And thank you very much for updating the site for a long time.
Yosi's article is more familiar than other DTM review articles, and it is very practical and easy to understand, so I am very helpful.I think that I will continue to struggle to write articles after overcoming various difficult things.
Under such circumstances, I have great respect for yosi-sama for giving me this much information.
It seems that it will take a little longer for me to resume composing activities, but I hope that I will do my best by referring to the articles on this site.
Thank you for creating a really wonderful article.Please continue to support me with a little effort.
PS: For reference.This year, it seems that Zenith, an ultra-high-performance plug-in from individual developer Mastrcode Music, who is famous for creating Trance / EDM sounds, will be released soon, so I would appreciate it if you could review it with yosi.
Marcos G
Thank you for your comments and hard work!
I'm paying attention to the eyes of the user, so I'm very happy to hear that.
There are quite a few compromises due to time constraints, so I will continue to devote myself even more!
Thank you very much.
I am very happy.
I'm glad I did my best.
Please let us know if you have any problems with FL Studio or plug-ins when you resume composing.
(I'm sorry I can't help you with other DAWs)
Thank you for the information.
I'll check it too!
Congratulations on your 3th anniversary! !
Thank you for the quality article.I see it every day.
It is very helpful because the site that introduces the reviews and tips after using it well is valuable.
I've been thinking about writing plugin tips articles myself many times, but I give up every time because I don't have time, so I think it's really amazing to be able to write so vigorously between work. increase.
Actually, I returned to DTM for the first time in a long time, but after reading the commentary articles on Scaler and Cthulhu, is there anything so convenient now?I remember being astonished.
At first, I misunderstood that Signal would only flow in a loop, but thanks to that, I am now a good companion.
I wasn't sure if the style would suit me, but I was interested in the Lo-Fi music that was introduced here.
I bought a plug-in as a trial and enjoyed it by trial and error.
I also recently introduced FL Studio.I thought it would be good, but I couldn't make the decision to change the environment, so I felt like I was pushed back.
It will take some time to get used to it, but I have a feeling that it will suit my taste.
I'm looking forward to a small story.I would be grateful if you could continue slowly but for a long time so as not to overdo it.

Long time no see!
Sorry for the late reply to the comment.
Thank you for your comments and words of effort.
I'm glad it seems to be useful!
Writing an article is quite a bit of a compromise and a race of time, even at the last minute.
Please guess when the content is thin w
No, I'm happy.
It was really good that he returned to DTM and enjoyed it.
I used to buy a plug-in and leave it unattended without knowing how to use it.
I'm writing a blog with the desire to reduce such people.
That's why I'm really happy to hear that this blog has triggered me to return to DTM and enjoy it.
I will continue to do my best to write, so I look forward to working with you.
Congratulations on your 3rd anniversary! !!
I am using yosi's blog as a companion for my daily commute!
I have you write the plug-ins that I did not know and the sound sources that I was interested in along with the impressions I actually used, so I am using it as a reference!
Personally, I'm grateful that you wrote a little unsatisfactory part after using it ✨
I also love Lofi and I love IDM, so the sound source that yosi introduces is acupoints ✨
I think it's very difficult to continue, but don't overdo it!I will support you in the shadow and will bother you again!
Congratulations again!
Minazuki-san
thank you for your comment.
Thank you for accompanying the train!
After all, when I buy a plug-in myself, I want to hear the impressions I actually used, so it's my personal opinion, but I try to write the good points and bad points properly.
I'm glad there was someone who felt it was good.
The introduction of the sound source is quite biased, but I'm glad that there are people who think it's good.
Please come and visit us again.
I'll continue to do my best!
