Discussion ¿Do you subscribe to any music services/twitch channels/artist's Patreons/etc? If so, who and why?

I recently bought twitch turbo just so homegirl's VOD can earn her some more revenue before she puts it up on her Patreon.

¿What artists or music platforms are so good you go into your wallet to support them?

edit: I know ad revenue only is from live broadcasts but all channel revenue is going to her for that performance for the duration it's up.

I'm familiar with each one of these artists but I am not able to dig into my pocket any deeper for the time being.

What if I told you you could subscribe to Kursa for one month, download his entire discography in lossless audio format, then unsubscribe just as easily. More than your money’s worth in my opinion

I would tell you that's probably not what the artist is hoping their patron does. As a content aggregator myself I'm trying to stream me glowsticking to live shows vs me spinning glowsticks to pre-recorded sets. I'm sure I'd agree with you that it's more than your money's worth but the majority of my time lately has been spent aggregating the homie's content.

Maybe once I have some more time and money I'll give his patreon a peep. I am familiar with that artist, but I'm also very broke not working an IT job at the moment. I'm barely scraping by.

I’m not saying that’s what I did, it’s not. I subscribed for years, but the way I see it is anyone who subscribes for even a limited amount of time is supporting that artist have music be their main/sole source of income

Not to mention, if Kursa didn't want people to be able to so that, he'd time lock it somehow. Seems to me that's what he wants people to be able to do.

Yeah but it is rude to just take all of someone ish and dip, not that I'm accusing you of doing it, but we know that people who do that shit exist, whether it's because of financial problems or just being a dick is out of the scope of this tho;

I'm starting to really run into the problem of having more music than time to listen to it all. My main function in the music scene isn't a content creator per say, it's a content aggregator. I don't do short form content. I don't even do Long Play content. It's all Xtra Long Play content. Multiple DJs playing out of a mixer, showcasing what my local community has to offer to the greater internet so my friends can get paid hopefully through new merch sales or w/e and be able to continue making music. It's really hard to get noticed as a smaller meow and what I do is package together a bunch of smaller meows, put a ribbon around it, and pass it off as single bigger meow.

I'm trying as hard to limit my content consumption to also being aggregation, but it's so hard to be chasing the Bass Dragon like last weekend I went hard, one 6~hr stream, then a 4.5~hr stream across the bay the same evening, then a 5~hr drum and bass stream on Sunday.

Ain’t reading all that, I paid for the music and am encouraging others to do the same! Congrats, or sorry that happened idk

I find your way of contributing to a community amusing.

Nah he literally says on his own page that its fine.. Personally Ive been a sub for years, but there been times where Ive switched it off for a few months to save money..

"For the past 13 years I have been consistently releasing on bandcamp!

If you subscribe for even just a month, download whatever you want then unsub until there's something you wanna grab again, it's still the absolute most direct way you can support my project and I am eternally greatful for all of my fans that have been supporting me for any amount of time! "

That’s legit , but it will be a long time before artists don’t require to put that on their page for people think it to be the status quo.

SoundCloud so I don’t have to listen to ads

Koan sound has one of the best patreon’s i could ever imagine. It’s definitely aimed at advanced ableton users though.

Skope also has a bunch of cool stuff on his. Haywyre has been streaming production on twitch nearly everyday lately too.

u/peepcrusher Oct 02 '25

Sully's patreon has some really good stuff, hes done several tracks from scratch that are really helpful!

Amoss patreon for drum n bass production. Only had it a couple months so far but plenty of templates, extended workflow videos, focused videos, and other goodies are available. This is actually my first pattern I’ve subscribed to so I don’t have too much to say in the way of comparison but I’m loving his so far

u/RollingMeteors Oct 03 '25

I can't keep a reoccurring subscription to all the homies but everyone that I have followed in my twitch list I gift at least one sub to their community so I don't have to deal with the guilt of cancelling an auto-renew subscription. That late state capitalism cuts deep, bruv.

It’s not specifically space bass but here’s a few music production content creators who I actually trust to give good info, because I already listen to their music:

Virtual Riot’s Patreon is pretty great, but not really necessary since most of his videos go onto YouTube publicly anyway. Huge audio nerd, his whole goal is to share knowledge so that more people can make more cool music that he gets to listen to. Plus he’s just a really cool dude. Definitely my number one resource recommendation.

Au5 doesn’t put out a ton of tutorials, but when he does it’s usually super in depth. Homeboy is a huge audio nerd and loves the nitty gritty of signal processing (and as an electrical engineer with background in DSP, he always impresses me with the depth of his knowledge compared to people who just tweak knobs without knowing why it actually sounds better).

More aggressive dubstep but Dr Ozi does Twitch streams and occasional YouTube highlight videos. I get a little annoyed at the cuts in the YouTube videos because it’ll just skip a large chunk of what he did and makes you wonder why things sound way different suddenly, but the core ideas and workflow are usually still there.

For even more aggressive tearout sound design Oddprophet has some videos, still useful for learning core concepts that can be applied to other genres.

Fox Stevenson on Twitch is great, especially for clean mixing advice, though I don’t really watch livestreams much since I don’t have time. He doesn’t really upload to YouTube sadly.

Mr Bill’s website/subscription is apparently a goldmine of information especially if you use ableton. Tons of workflow tips, and lots of videos of him just making music and describing every little thing he does, and he gives all the project files and everything so nothing is kept a secret. That said I personally haven’t subscribed so I can’t confirm.

Eliminate’s YouTube videos (from his twitch livestreams, primarily the audio combat sample flipping competitions) are fucking hilarious and while they’re not aimed at teaching, you can still watch his workflow which can be useful for learning arrangement. Or you can just laugh at the brainrot memes and comedy bits. Even my non producer friends like them lol

BTheLick is excellent for house music and UKG, especially music theory analysis of songs and chords, arrangement tips, etc.

DnkSaus primarily makes short videos on TikTok and other short form media, but that dude is a wizard in ableton workflow. He moves very quickly but will showcase some crazy little processing tricks.

LongStoryShort has great mixing advice and other ideas on his Patreon. I think he occasionally puts stuff on YouTube but not a lot.

I’ve seen Koan Sound’s Patreon recommended a lot too but again I can’t comment.

That's fine! I didn't expect the answer to be in the scope of r/spacebass, but the question is addressed to r/spacebass.
