  • I am integrated into the Sonos ecosystem and it works great for having the whole house being connected without running wires or taking up a lot of space. Yes, the app is garbage but the speakers sound really good. It’s great having the continuity of walking from room to room and having the music follow you. I have the Sonos Amp hooked up to a pair KEF bookshelf speakers for my fluance record player which can play what’s on the turntable to my other speakers throughout the house.






  • I have also been looking for a synth/groove box recently. I’ve been doing deep dives in tutorials/reviews on YouTube, sweetwater, and reverb. The price point is all over the place with some sub $300 US machines that have cool features but steep learning curves to the multi $K machines that can do it all. I’m a total noob to sampling and beat making so I’m probably going to go the cheaper route and also snag a used Korg monologue synth. Here’s the few that I’ve been looking into:

    Roland P6

    Yamaha SeqTrak

    Elektron Digitakt II

    There’s also the legendary Akai MPC (praise to J Dilla) for chopping samples and beat making.

    If you’re into tinkering and into open source software look up Bespoke Synth. It’s digital modular synth that you can use external hardware and link to a DAW

    And don’t forget you can always get a midi keyboard and use your DAW of choice.












  • Patience, practice and have fun with it dude. A little over a year ago I picked up a sketchpad and pencil and just started doodling my dog lying around the house. I’ll throw on my headphones and listen to music while I let my pencil, pen or paint brush lead me see where we ended up. It’s a great escape and absolutely low stakes. What ever comes out isn’t going to be the Mona Lisa, and who cares? You have made something and that is something to be proud of
