• Ask HN: Comment here about whatever you're passionate about at the moment

  Good stuff! I started getting in to this at the start of the year. Already had an old, dusty MicroKORG and MIDI interface to use it as a controller, but recently splashed out on a bigger controller as the Korg's tiny keys were hurting me - plus, I wanted something bigger to get better at piano! A couple of free soft synths I'd recommend are Surge XT, and Vital. https://surge-synthesizer.github.io/... - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago

• Obsolete (or not) DAW recommendations for windows 8?

  Https://surge-synthesizer.github.io/ and https://asb2m10.github.io/dexed/ should work like a charm. Source: 11 months ago

  To get the equivalent of a symphonic orchestra in your computer, the solution is basically money; you buy the instruments you need. In the case of synthesizers, things are much cheaper - if you put in the effort yourself. https://surge-synthesizer.github.io/ is excellent and could even be used if you wanted to make a more retro-style soundtrack.

• So is serum worth the money? Can someone ELI5 why I should buy it rather than use a free synth like synth one?

  Instead of Synth1, try https://surge-synthesizer.github.io/ . It's pretty much better in every aspect except for the UI which is going to look a lot more daunting to you ;). Source: 11 months ago

• These just appeared in my Facebook, anything to be excited about? I’m waiting on prices.

  For the DW-8000, check https://www.fullbucket.de/music/fb7999.html . Alternatively, https://surge-synthesizer.github.io/ can use single-cycle waveforms (basically wavetables that don't change) which can get you close. Source: 11 months ago

• anyone else refresh r/new on this sub 50 times a day everyday for the past 5+ years

  Some music genres can help during study. For me, it was breakcore since it's basically the same drum roll on repeat for the whole song. Another choice is the app brain.fm. It costs money though. Source: 6 months ago

• What non-medication treatment/habit have you introduced that has helped?

  Quality noise-cancelling headphones and a lifetime subscription to brain.fm - it's like a magic switch that channels me straight into focus mode. Source: 6 months ago
