    When I was probably 13 years old, I got Duke Nukem 3D. I really wanted to figure out how to build my own levels. I had found other levels online and I couldn't figure it out. My 7t…

    I'll take my Suhr "Strat" over any American made Strat any day, as well as my hand wired boutique amp over any pro reverb (new or vintage).

    I have a friend that writes lots of music on the PO-33. They are fun, definitely toyish, but you can get good results: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TBo8Rd7HxdU <- a friend that …

    Someone should show this to Squarepusher's brother (aka Ceephax Acid Crew).

    Devine had a great talk about the "why" of Uxn at Strange Loop last year: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T3u7bGgVspM And there was another talk that used it as an example: https:/…

    I love my TD-3 and my KO pocket operator. The comment below suggests the minifreak, and I kind of agree with them. Behringer Pro 800 looks pretty great too, same price, analog, but…

    I'd say, if you find joy in soldering and DIY electronics, something like this could be great. It's hard to say without hearing it... I really think a first synth (I know you alrea…

    I own a deluge, and think it's great. I'm really excited about them going open source. Things I'd like to be able to add: - Oscillators from MI Plaits - MI Rings sound engine - A m…

    I worked at Griffin for a short period of time while we were still selling this. I was in tech support, and I didn't even know about the battery.

    I agree, give Rick's course a try, with an emphasis on ear training. I think ear training is much more important than music theory. You'll learn theory along the way (intervals, ch…

    I just want to say you missed Chase Bliss when mentioning good function and good form. Especially their Automotone series pedals (e.g. CXM1978 and their preamp). I find all of thei…

    Wow! I'm so jealous that you went to the Furniture Institute, and didn't realize it shut down. I am lucky enough to live in TN and have access to some great local woodworkers that …
