I made Live pay for its own upgrade (a disgusting humble brag!)

[Angstrom]

I was 50/50 about upgrading to L11 for various reasons.
I had a thought ... what if I could make Live pay for itself. I have a bunch of presets and I decided if I could raise the money during the Black Friday window I'd buy the upgrade, if not ... then not.

So a couple of days ago I put my operator preset pack on sale at £4.49 and thought ... if I can get enough cash from that sale to pay for the upgrade (£143) then I'll let Live pay for my Live.

Amazingly somehow the sales smashed that target, so I just bought the L11 upgrade solely with proceeds from content for the app itself.

I know nobody else cares, but I think it's kinda weirdly cool that creating content for the app paid for the app itself. A circle of GAS.

I will now stop patting myself on my back and pull my trousers up. This concludes my ted talk.

We care, good job!

Thanks dude!

Of course - having saved that money I felt completely justified in using the other money which I hadn't spent to buy a Sensel morph and a few overlays. I mean, what's the point in having an MPE capable DAW without an MPE controller eh?

financial prudence in action.

Great work. It is amazing sometimes how you can generate a bit of income these days and gets you thinking...

One of the great things about the internet is it's a worldwide market and open 24/7 and in this day and age, presets are like mining for gold for some people. Through various ventures i've managed to not have to "go to work" for 5 years now and instead seeking contract work I can do online remotely (like forum support, website management etc) along with selling my own NKS libraries etc. Never going to be a millionaire, but i'm no longer stressed and exhausted all the time, I don't lose 12 hours a week of my life in traffic and I am more than happy to work at 10pm if I feel like it. As long as it helps to cover our mortgage and keep my kids fed and healthy, i'm content.

Yes, your work life sounds like mine. I guess this is modern life.
Now, if only I could ramp it up a bit so that it covers more than my essentials !
