Hey MAL. I dont want to come off as an emotional teenage kid whos bored out of his mind. But its basically the truth so i don't blame you for avoiding replying.

I am a music producer who is signed onto a record label currently. Recently my computer broke, and my family is pretty dang poor. My dad refuses to let me produce on his laptop, which leaves me honestly, desperately searching for something to do with myself. I really want to drift into something, like writing, or moderating, or just join a community, but nothing is happening.

Does mal have any ideas on groups i can join. I just want to meet people, and do something with myself since i can't do what i usually love. It sounds stupid but i feel hopeless and i just want people to go to. Maybe a Club on mal, or a fun hobby? anything.

Thanks guys! and truly, im sorry if this is on the wrong board.

There is a ton of clubs you could join.. I mean just join ones that you find interesting.. Laptops arent that expensive so you could get a job to save up for a laptop..

But anyways, I am not sure if I am being trolled or not. I guess it didn't take that long to type the response so if I am being trolled then. GJ!

Wait, are you asking to be adopted?





You can get a old laptop off of craigslist or off of a police auction. I'm also pretty sure there is some sort of fund for artists you can get on possibly. I swore ive seen websites like that before i just cant find it atm.

With indie labels you get royalties every 6 months or so and its not that much.

So, uhm, why not promote yourself? I mean, unless you're producing music purely for your own enjoyment.

I don't get it, if your problem is lack of alcohol, the only solution is alcohol. Alcohol can't not solve lack of alcohol.

Op; Studio-Puroto just started out and is working on some promising stuff, so I guess you could contact them and see. They are planning a VN production so music is always welcome I assume.

I suppose money might be the most appropriate way to solve such a conundrum, but then again, it depends on the parameters of the problem; whether the perceived lack of alcohol is due to there not being any in ones possession or the general vicinity, or just one's body not currently being intoxicated by it.
In the end though, it stands to reason that the introduction of alcohol down one's meat chute is indeed the ultimate goal, one might require additional steps towards solving the problem.

Because possessing alcohol, means the problem (lack of alcohol) is solved.

that first song sounds like you're trying to copy Daft Punk and some other songs i've heard but i can't quite get who it's from as it's been a long time.. i hear a cheap knock off of Aerodynamic and Face To Face mixed in there.
NEETs (No Employment Education Training) are the least desirable people anybody would want to hire and yet they are the first choice to become moderators/admins around the internet. They have yet to have established a sense of responsibility or role in society and many are plain leeches (with minor exceptions). They are given "authority" to police sections of the internet with the powers of The Judge, Jury, and Executioner. Isn't that weird?

If your computer is broken, figure out the broken component and swap it out for a new or used but working, should be cheap-ish. If no money, well find a way to make enough to buy the needed part.

You should post much more on bandcamp, much better than the boring soundcloud.

Try your local radio station.
I lot of them have various activities that you can get involved with.
Rooms full of equipment that people can use for practice.
A good friend of mine used to volunteer a 2 hour radio slot at our local and used to just hang out there using their studio equips to make beats and stuff.

Good place to meet people who have similar interests too.
