[ Patreon Announcement ] Happy Coming Holidays, New Audios, New Equipment ( Fundraising ^^; ), Discounts, And More~! (Patreon)

Hello~!

Azeru here with some very important updates and announcements~! But before we get into that, I hope you're doing well~! Holidays are fast approaching so I figured that I'd like to do something special~!

Now, this is gonna be a somewhat long post, so make sure to at least check out the BOLD TITLES if you don't want to read through it all~! ^^ ( Though, I do appreciate you reading it all~ )

EQUIPMENT UPGRADES ( NEW BINAURAL MICROPHONE INFORMATION AND FUNDRAISER? )

The KU-100 [ https://en-de.neumann.com/ku-100 ]. If you remember, this was one of the potential upgrades that I wanted to do. Though, the cost of it is prohibitively expensive... around $9,000 USD. That plus the other support equipment I'd need like a stand, a mixer, an interface, etc to actually use it... well, it'd probably cost a little more than that.

Now, no matter what I will be getting this upgrade in the future. But at the same time I understand that it will take a little while to be able to save up. And I don't want you to wait for too long for upgraded Audios.

Considering that my last microphone upgrade was near Christmas and the start of the New Year, and also I know some have been asking if they could send some support to help afford the KU-100, I thought that a fundraiser would be somewhat appropriate! ^^

GOFUNDME FUNDRAISER LINK [ https://gofund.me/bca5dbae ]

PAYPAL FUNDRAISER LINK [ https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=7VP2GEBZVLSV4 ]

Of course I want to stress this that you do not need to help with the fundraiser for me to get the KU-100! I will be saving up for it! The fundraiser will only help offset my living costs to help me afford it faster and for me to be able to produce true 3D Audios with it sooner!

I did use two different sites so you are able to use whichever is more comfortable for you to use or whichever you feel more secure to use! And if you ask me which one would be technically easier, it'd be Paypal as it's more direct to me ^^;

I'll  be very honest that it's difficult for me to even set this up. I do feel bad a bit ^^;... I don't normally celebrate stuff like Holidays or even my birthday, so I'm a little not used to receiving anything. And since you already support me, in a way, I don't want you to think that I'm not properly using your support for me! And, like I said, I'm going to be constantly saving up for this just like previous upgrades. But I personally felt that this is one of the biggest upgrades I've done in regards to Audio equipment, that I don't want you to wait too long ^^;... So, I'll stress again, this isn't Mandatory. Only help if you really want to and you have things to spare and think it's worth it!... Sorry ^^; This is also my first Fundraiser/Donation thingy in regards to anything. I feel... weird not being able to give anything more tangible immediately back.

PATREON DISCOUNTS/FREE MONTHS

If you aren't privy, you are able to get 2 months of access to my content for completely free if you subscribe to the one year/annual membership!

It basically gives you a sixteen percent discount which equates to the two months! I would like to have special promotions that enable for more, but Patreon currently doesn't allow it quq...

So, if you think I've earned your support and you think that it's worth supporting me in my growth through next year, then perhaps this would be a good deal for you~? ^^

ADVENT CALENDAR AUDIOS

With the Holidays around the corner, I did want to try recording some smaller Audios as well. Something easy and quick just to help the days go by faster for you~!

I'll most likely hold a poll for this to figure out which ones, but recording some simple lines of myself saying things like...

"Good Girl~... You've done a lot lately haven't you~?... How about I give you a little reward~?" or "My my, you've been very Naughty lately... now that's not good... I better punish you~"

Which I'll bundle up into packs and upload them once a week~! ( Tentatively right now, unsure of how still! ^^ ) And before you panic, yes, I will try to have multiple versions to be as inclusive as possible. But I also do want to be more specific with these at the same time.

^^ Thank you for understanding!

HOLIDAY SURPRISES

I actually wrote here a long paragraph, but since this specific one is not as concrete yet, I didn't want to publish it and get your hopes up quq...

But, do know that there is another thing that I'm trying to do to go above and beyond for you! Once I can make sure I can do this specific thing, I'll post about it! Or... maybe you'll just receive something in the mail~? ( Assuming you're comfortable with it and you're signed up for it! I obviously won't just send random stuff to random people without permission! )

= = =

MERCHANDISE

For those of you that don't know, I do have a merchandise store for Hoodies and Shirts! [ https://azeru-official.myspreadshop.com/ ] that sell premium high quality apparel! These are all provided by spreadshirt!

The hoodies are very sleek, modern and classy. Made with the best materials that the supplier could offer me! I don't normally put this out there, but with the perfect season coming in soon, why not warm up with a nice hoodie from your Fallen Angel~?

Stickers are currently on sale for Patrons! Feel free to check out the Post [ https://www.patreon.com/posts/patreon-sticker-60197316 ] about it for more information!

A SPECIAL WORD FROM ME

Hello~! If you've made it here then, well, thank you. For reading through all of that. Now I know this might not exactly be the update you'd like, but I really splurge all of the more technical and small updates in each Audio post!... Oh, and if you're waiting for Audios, yes, I'm working on them still ^^;

But- I uh. I guess I wanted to say Thank You to you. For being here I mean. It means a lot to me, genuinely does. I know it say it every now and then, and if I'm being honest I'd say it more times. But really, Thank You.

I honestly couldn't have gotten to where I am right now without you. In fact, when I first started, I didn't even think I was worth supporting. In a way, I still don't think I am, I still have so much to improve on and work on. I want to work hard for you, to make you smile.

I want to make you proud. So much so that it'd be a badge of honour for you to say that you support me... - er... assuming you want to tell anyone that- Ahaha~... But, yeah.

Honestly, if anything, I just want you to know that you mean a lot to me.

I hope this entire post comes across to you correctly. I hope it shows that I'm thankful and I want to pay it back somehow. I know tone is hard to convey through text.

Heh, I don't want to write too much since I'm sure that by the end of December, I'll be writing... or recording... a better thank you. So, here's to us, and to the future~! And hopefully a wonderful holidays~!

= = =

Thank you for reading through this~! ^^
