Qs about Patreon / website subs for iOS music
2 questions:
Which Patreon subs have you bought, either as a one-off or as a recurring subscription, that you thought were good. These don’t have to be iOS-specific, as long as they have stuff you can use. I’ve been pretty impressed by Venus Theory’s offerings. He uses his own website rather than Patreon, and I think this is a pretty good call, as Patreon does nothing really to promote your page - all they’re doing is providing a storage space and taking their cuts. Google ‘don’t use Patreon’ if you want to learn more about this. Back to Venus Theory - although his first few packs were mostly Vital presets, more recently they’ve been more wav-based and could be used on iOS easily.
Have you had problems with PayPal recurring payments for Patreon? I was subbed to one particular Patreon for about a year, using PayPal as a payment method. I eventually stopped as I found that a) I wasn’t really getting enough value from it at $10 a month b) most importantly - my monthly payments were often not going through. I’m not sure if this was a PayPal issue or a Patreon issue, so am interested to hear about others’ experiences.

I like “look mum no computer” on Patreon. Sam is always doing something interesting worth supporting.

Remix Sample from YouTube has a lovely one, where he shares samples and MP3s. I subscribed last week.

Payments on Patreon are a bit buggy. I have a Patreon of my own (non-music related), and it's not uncommon for payments to fail. I subscribe to several Patreons, mostly to pay it forward.
It's also interesting to see how musicians are using Substack in a similar way.
I discovered this one via a thread I started here on the forum earlier this week, asking for podcasts people were listening to:
Infinite Noise Project.

I hadn't thought of Substack being used in this way, having come to it firstly as a writer. But it makes total sense for iOS and other musicians as a subscription-based platform.
Hmm, will have to look into that. I've been thinking of setting up a patreon for a while but the buggy payment system and fees are a turn-off. Thnx!
You're welcome. I've been with Patreon since February 2017, and with Substack since June 2019. I'm happy with both platforms, and both bring a little income my way, and serve my community well. But I'm beginning to favour Substack over Patreon in the long run. I love the clean simplicity of it. If it's good enough for Patti Smith, it's good enough for me!
I'd love to see more music Substacks. Mine started out as a Substack podcast, and became more journal/newsletter-like. The platform offers the opportunity to change and grow. The tools now are getting good, without getting complicated.

I’m currently signed up for 5 Patreon accounts for people who’s channels I watch regularly. They’re all people who have been really supportive to my channel too and I’ve become good friends with. Jakob Haq, Soundtestroom, Jade Starr, Mobile Music Pro and Pete Johns. All of them post content regularly apart from Jakob but I want to support him anyway because I love him and I know how he’s fixed financially. There’s a real community thing going on with the channels I support - that’s what I get out of it. I’m not really interested in samples, I never enter draws for codes and don’t need help to make music - it’s all about the people. My own Patreon is small and is a very slow grow. I offer a lot and get little out of it but again, it’s about that community thing.
I definitely find Patreon to be about community, first and foremost. There are people who support me on Patreon, who would support me even if I don't post a thing, and have made that clear to me. It doesn't stop me sharing, but generally, these days, my Patreon is more about behind the scenes, getting to know me, and being able to communicate with me directly.
Absolutely. There are a few people on mine who never ever look at it. Some people who come to my gigs in particular.
This one: A History of Rock Music in 500 Songs by Andrew Hickey. Fascinating stories about the creation of bands, albums, songs, and entire genres presented with such obsessive detail that you can almost imagine being there.
The main episodes (161 so far) are available at no charge but after listening to one or two you’ll probably feel like supporting the project on Patreon.
