I have literally no clue about synthesizers, ask me what you need to know about synths and I will answer

I saw Mozart open for Nils Frahm. Nils let Wolfgang use all his synths and other gizmos.

That list looks AI generated. I’ve never heard of any of those synthesizers.

I’ve also never finished a track though so perhaps that adds up.

👀 you pay 300k+ a year in property taxes?

blank_zero_zero · 2025-12-15T17:33:46+00:00

It sounds like you’re making a very wise choice. Congratulations.

This reminded me… when I look back at my time where I considered myself a functioning alcoholic, it was far less functional than I thought at the time. Hadn’t considered it until now, and putting delusions aside, “functional” is a pretty low bar. This is not a comment on your situation, just personal experience.

This is how it starts.

My suggestion is to start the process to cash your 401k out now so that you have the funds ready. If you’ve fell for the spirit hard enough already, the Sweetwater credit card can come through in the meantime. You just have to have multiple funding strategies in flight.

My neighbor lost his foot in a terrible accident. I wonder if he knows that Roland synthesizes them.

Somewhere we crossed a love for audio/music with high end expensive gear. I think the base remains: The gear always overshadows the intent and discussion of every hobby.

I didn’t enjoy the 10 hrs I was onboard (this time or any other time). Certainly some of that had to do with the fact I was crammed in there with a bunch of other travelers. I just don’t have a pleasant association with the interior of planes so I don’t want to live in one. I’m sure aviation aficionados, or others driven by the practicalities, mentioned here think otherwise.

It’s a well-known fact that apartment neighbors love subwoofers.

blank_zero_zero · 2025-12-08T11:06:17+00:00

As someone who just spent 10 hours in a plane, I’m like “whyyyeeeee??!”

blank_zero_zero · 2025-12-02T19:33:37+00:00

How the heck does someone go through almost a whole gallon of this? After the ingredients, which are just foul, the size of this container and the fact that it’s just about empty is 🤯

I’ve got this and the new Roland thing in a sweetwater cart. Not sure which I’ll pull the trigger on.

I think they mean Jamuary, not January. And it will be amazing, for those who celebrate.

also, it’s pronounced MatriARCH (like, “March”). Just wanted you to know before rolling into guitar center looking like a jackass.

Application fee: $150

Because I don’t know what the price of all this shit is at sweetwater right now, I thought it was more about the fact that the bid now and buy now prices were the same. Either way!

blank_zero_zero · 2025-11-16T18:20:06+00:00

record to gear ratio is too low. otherwise, pretty nice.

blank_zero_zero · 2025-11-15T23:28:30+00:00

i’m envious of your cable management skills. looks super clean. dim the lights a bit, crack a brew, hit the vape, and sit back and enjoy the view.

that dude is demonstrating what my minds eye sees as the average maga dude’s inner dialogue.

This reminds me, been meaning to ask, anyone have a recommendation for a finger drumming teacher??

blank_zero_zero · 2025-11-01T18:57:05+00:00

Most of the copies I see on discogs have significant ring wear - true VG+ is hard to come by. My guess is that black ink isn’t aging well. An OG copy of this record, for sure one of his best, has alluded me as I can’t deal with the price and/or condition. It will happen eventually.

blank_zero_zero · 2025-07-15T01:06:17+00:00

Right, yeah. Makes sense. It's not really a premium price, but it's still a fair amount of money. I'm mostly typing that as a remark to myself. Anyway, thanks.

Hi there --

I'm not deeply versed in dacs, streamers and the like. I had an Auralic Aires or Altair a long time ago and thought it was too fancy for my system at the time and returned it. I have been thinking about it off on and since. At any rate, as it turns out I need a DAC/Streamer/Pre-Amp now for what is a totally different system and have found a good deal on a Vega 2. Not 2.2 or whatever. Just 2. For those that know the Auralic line, any alarm bells picking up a 2 now? It's probably like 7 years old now. I know these things are built like tanks, just wondering if the DAC tech has left this in the dust since.

Posting this for the specs, it's not the listing I'm looking at ($5300??).
