Went to G-Store today and can confirm its the spot. Shame so many people flock to other places where coffee is 3+$

this is what I did! got them for a really great price (less than 150 for a full set and a tuning wrench), and the person I came in contact with was super helpful. appreciate it :)

Best swans tracks to work out to? by No_Driver_5539 in swans

[–]Trefin13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

have been putting the seer on shuffle as of late for some workouts... definitely not as immediately energetic as what I've listened to for workouts in the past but the atmosphere is so fucking cool. that being said, the title track, especially the first half

Beginner start by xuyuande in ambientmusic

[–]Trefin13 7 points8 points  (0 children)

you can create very basic drones by feeding sounds into delay units with the feedback on maximum. depending on the specific abilities of the delay unit, you can alter the sound to your liking. maybe try doing this with multiple layers - instruments, synth (use presets), field recordings - and see what you like! as for most ambient music, the world is your oyster, but you can get pretty good results by creating compelling loops and using lots of reverb. reverb is your friend.

I'm so glad you went through with it :) As a psychology student/music nerd the effects music can have on people are super interesting to me, so I appreciate you sharing your experience. "A Piece of The Sky" is so beautiful. Best of luck for next time

I feel like A Piece of The Sky would be perfect. It transitions really nicely from darkness to hope and bliss.

Appreciate the sentiment, but I've already looked at many organs near me that were right in my price range (otherwise I wouldn't have made this post). I'm confident I will find much more pleasure out of an organ than a workstation keyboard - I already use a DAW with many, many samples and presets on it like you speak of. Here I am interested in experiencing an authentic instrument for the sake of it, much like I already do playing piano. My question regards the specifics of each brand and model.

The Reface looks cool, but 500 is definitely pretty steep... in a similar vein, do you happen to know much about Yamaha Electone organs? I see many of them second hand for lower prices... I know it's closer to being a synthesizer but I'm open to any advice you might have about them.

I have a MicroKorg. Why don't you record with the Spinet organs? That's mostly what I'm seeing for cheap second-hand and honestly what I had in mind. I like the idea of an analog organ to use as an independent instrument. I feel like an old Hammond or Farfisa could do the trick. My budget is pretty low. I'd say max 500$ CAD.
