diy in the modern day

DIY in the modern day:

Self-funded
- Initial backing is savings, day jobs
- Self-propelled income is primarily merch and cover sales
- ALWAYS look for the cheapest path

Self-produced
- Usage of free DAWs like reaper for producing, mixing, and recording
- Uncleared samples
- Personal-use physical sound systems

Self-organized
- Organized by creators, and their fans - nobody else.
- Grassroots, not corporate
- Emphasis on live performances - recording for archiving, not profit
- Eschewing social media and the commericalized internet in favor of decentralized communities and personal conversations

Self-distributed
- Avoid focusing on corporate paths such as streaming services and labels
- Focus on live music, personal ownership (mp3 downloads, digital CDs), and voluntary donations
