know your limits but try new things :) you can't find stuff if you don't explore. but if your goal is to be a creator then you can't be a full-time explorer.

I get what you're saying, but I keep shooting blanks with it so......
Maybe its a devine sign of something.

Weird I am, i think its been over a year without recording with my computer audio interface........

Well after over 3 months with the MicroFreak I think I fully willing to admit that I’m « synth disabled ».
I definitely don’t have the patience you guys have to create patches. I RTFM, I know the basic functions, but I still can’t « make » anything with it. I could just as well use any iPad soft synth.

Zéro new ideas, zero recorded tracks, zip , nothing.....
Maybe because I’m so used to sample and chopping synth stuff???

Sux, but hey. It is what it is.

might not be for you . . . or might not be for you *right now* . . . if you can afford to put it aside for a bit and come back to it later, it may be worthwhile?

BB might be more show-biz, but that's understandable given the duration of his career and in the process learning what people want and giving it to them — Gotta keep bringin' home the bacon, after all. Showman sure, but that "sincerity" mentioned is authentic.

lest it seem like i was dissing bb, i wasn't trying to. just trying to say that show was a revelation.

Big John Lee Hooker fan, and Mississippi John Hurt — They're like the yin/yang of the blues.

For grit, I like Muddy Waters.

I didn't think you were dissing BB at all. I was echoing ... echoing ... echoing ... echoing ...


+1 Howlin' Wolf ! MMmm Mmm and how!


I find the range of taste of the ambient-post-rockers here in the thread to be quite broad and diverse.
I like that eclecticism.

Hangin' out here certainly has stretched my own tastes at times and pushed me to be more open-minded about genres or artists I don't like.


Blues, though, is like comfort-food to me.

Do you have any prior synth sound design experience?
