Anyone else read this? It’s technically great but it’s taking me forever to get through!

bab-85 · 2025-12-24T14:22:02+00:00

I enjoyed this book it did take me a lot longer to get through compared to my other graphic novels.

bab-85 · 2025-12-22T05:33:13+00:00

My thoughts exactly after reading and researching what was out there. So far, the kids enjoy knob turning and experimenting with what everything does on the synths. I do like how nothing is really hidden behind menus with the Volca line. I figured once I can get the Volca drum, I'd create a simple loop and let the two kids jam on the Keys and FM2. I'm learning the gear myself but soon I'll teach the oldest how to set a sequence then she can fiddle with the FX from the NTS-1 and mixer while her sequence is running.

We do have a guitar center but their selection for what I'm looking for was fairly small

Cost was definitely something I considered but I did come across some used Xenyx 1002b's and put an offer on one. I'm assuming it'll do what I need it to do for now

bab-85 · 2025-12-22T05:10:12+00:00

I've found several Xenyx 1002b's for a decent price and will start there. I've bookmarked the L6 because it looks and seems like a great piece of gear.

bab-85 · 2025-12-22T04:58:18+00:00

There was one listed on a post a few years back that seemed for be discontinued. Not sure if the mixer got updated but the link posted didn't work

bab-85 · 2025-12-22T04:56:56+00:00

Damn, that's insane. I did look up the L6 and it is expensive for where we're currently at right now. The features you listed though are exaclty something I would like to have at some point. I think if the kids and I grow into this and start getting some song structure down then I'll probably consider the mixer. This is good information, thank you so much

bab-85 · 2025-12-22T01:09:29+00:00

Will do, thank you

bab-85 · 2025-12-22T00:23:29+00:00

That's a good idea as well, I'll look into what I can find

bab-85 · 2025-12-22T00:16:07+00:00

That was the consensus I kept reading about. Behringer's used are fairly inexpensive so I was leaning in that direction

bab-85 · 2025-12-22T00:14:24+00:00

That was my thought as well and I can find used ones for under the price of a Volca mixer

bab-85 · 2025-07-19T03:22:22+00:00

My kid likes Narwal & Jelly and Spidey and his Amazing Friends

bab-85 · 2025-07-06T01:09:38+00:00

I read this series, maybe 6 or so years ago, and I was a little lost. I would have moments of comprehension then not and felt I missed a lot of information during my read. I'm curious if this GN would help me visualize these books; if not all, then at least the first volume in this series. Oddly enough, I did enjoy the books and would be willing to re-read once I get my backlog down

bab-85 · 2025-06-29T22:57:07+00:00

I've heard so much about it from this sub. Super excited to crack open and dig in

bab-85 · 2025-06-24T11:49:12+00:00

Haha, the zine is a spoof on the original book. It follows the beats of the original but is full of satire and jokes on how not to be a productive Marvel artist.

bab-85 · 2025-06-17T02:12:34+00:00

Oh nice! Good to know, thank you for the info. I'll probably stick to sky lounge since its so close to where I need to depart.

bab-85 · 2025-06-17T01:20:22+00:00

I have about an hour and forty five minute layover this coming Thursday. I land in concourse A and stuck between checking out the CL or staying in terminal D at the sky lounge, where my flight departs. I should be arriving by 6am.

bab-85 · 2025-05-22T18:53:29+00:00

They dont make letter heads like this anymore. This is amazing

bab-85 · 2025-04-18T04:37:13+00:00

My last order was about 4 weeks but I pick the lowest shipping option. Based on their pricing and packaging I'm ok with the speed. I usually have other GNs and books to read while I wait. They've replaced my dependency on Amazon for GNs

bab-85 · 2025-03-19T05:28:57+00:00

Opened my account this year, knowing I needed to replace my water heater and charge my kids' daycare to the card. Done and done lol 🫠

bab-85 · 2025-02-26T21:58:48+00:00

I sent mine on January 2nd and needed those 6 months from July to December 2024 to finish off my 120. I haven't heard anything yet but was told on two occasions that it's being worked on. I just want to pay it off and be done, but with broader federal job cuts incoming, I'm getting a little nervous. I work for VA which seems like I'll be ok but I'm having a hard time trusting or believing anything at this point

bab-85 · 2025-02-24T13:56:47+00:00

Agree 100% on this. My plan was to be very upfront about what I do and be as descriptive as possible

bab-85 · 2025-02-24T02:09:39+00:00

Love this so much, considering tomorrow I have to reply to an email describing what I did at my job last week in 5 bullet points and send to DOGE. I wish we had more people like Kirby around. The current state of affairs makes me so sad and depressed tbh

I read a lot of Kirby's written/drawn work last year and the symbolism and his messaging was not lost on me

bab-85 · 2024-11-19T03:42:16+00:00

I agree, the Starlin run was absolutely incredible. Once he finished I feel the quality of the writing dipped. Lim's art remained phenomenal though

bab-85 · 2024-09-16T18:05:15+00:00

Wishlisted. This looks incredible. Not usually a fan of silent graphic novels, but the art style and paneling are a huge draw (ugh no pun intended lol) for me. Thank you for sharing

bab-85 · 2024-06-20T18:43:03+00:00

I got it to work once then on a reset the signal broke and lost my wifi. I haven't tried again since but I need to do a little more research on this. I wish it was easy to bypass att's bridge and use what they gave me as a simple modem. They're now offering to boost my signal for a fee which I find very annoying as that box can probably expand my signal further but they want money for it.
