(separated to parts for easy reading)
About the tragedy;
While I was recording an activity for P.E., I noticed that some of my recordings are gone — some even got corrupted! My phone is showing signs; struggling to read my SD card, as if my phone's about to die. Well, I shouldn't be surprised. This phone have served papa good, have served me too, a promised device for me for my hobby. I don't know how many years it had been, could've been 4 or 5+ years now on my hand, not counting the days it had with papa. It seems to be retiring. It served me good to the point of depreciation; had been dropped for times more than fingers in your hands, performance turning slow each passing days, volume and power button is gone and even the casing is tearing alight. I even joked about passing this artifact to my papa's grandchildren. Ah. But it is no joke that this phone is truly an artifact to its may.
Phone broken? What now?
Broken as it can't read SD card no more. This makes the use of my DAW (Caustic) extremely less storage efficient as it can only read internal storage in the work. (I move my project file internal to SD card for stalling.) That means my song projects are inaccessible now, huh? Don't worry. I got back-ups on the internal and my laptop thankfully. This only means that I can't use my phone to make music anymore. Too bad I promised Caustic to be my main DAW, using it in mobile too. Sigh. Now I have to migrate my entire music career to my laptop and continue there. For my phone; it can still serve me as a regular phone. The only affected here it seems to be is my hobby (and my P.E. activity too). Serve me 'till death, Samsung.
About music career;
Simple. I will be migrating to my laptop. Nothing much to tell you than it'll be a workplace shock. Already told you about my promise to mater Caustic DAW, but it is needed to switch DAW. I will be moving to FL Studio, will learn it, and I'd like to maintain my soundfont-ish style of work. I will repurpose my Caustic soundbank into FL Studio soundbank and I hope FL Studio is clean about my way of work. I predict this repurposing plan to be tedious as Caustic has its own ".caustic" file type and the only way to turn it to soundfont is by saving every damn WAV sound clip (in the ".caustic" file) and rearranging it back to soundfont file. This means you gotta be more patient before I am flexible again on making music. WE gotta be... more patient.
My current music career? One is affected, but I'll tell you that on the next part. It will spoil you to an announcement I'm about to tell anyway.
My future upon this transition (PLUS ANNOUNCEMENT!! Hint; it's an album!)
It is time to tell you about my upcoming project (that got affected by this misfortune apparently). I am making an album! Specifically named "Adventure Things". It has 5 songs done out of planned-to-be 10 songs (plus 2 bonus songs). Unfortunately, I have to cut it down to 8 songs. I'd like to focus on this first before switching to FL Studio as there is Caustic for pc apparently. The last song should I make it in FL to declare my transition.
Wish me luck you may, but I don't think it is about luck in this circumstances. You can, well, be at least part of my legacy. So far, I only have Discord server for this (link at the end of this post). This is embarrassing, yet, that is the only place I am mostly online. Encountering me on other media would be as rare as a unicorn, so if you really want to be a fan of me and an easy way to reach me, the Discord server link is down below.
Looking forward for my upcoming album? Well, you gotta beg for sneak peeks >u<
TL;DR
Can't use phone for music no more. Moving to laptop. Patience too. You don't deserve tl;dr for any of my future endeavors if you headed here first. Hmph!
