20 years ago, I used a Roland MC303 with an Electrix Warpfactory vocoder... eventually added an Atari 1040ST and a laptop running NI generator 1.5, and I built and used a Paia Fatman synth for a while... now I only use computer, but hate myself twice for the 2 times i got rid of the warpfactory!

i think it might be because you are from a different instance... it may just be taking a while or there may be some glitches.. just a guess. I had similar problems when trying to subscribe to something on an instance other than waveform... and its still hung-up.

I think it is entirely possible with FOSS. this kinda reminds me of the situation 10-15 years ago when people were trying to make their windows laptop look like a mac... because mac was more "respected" in audio circles... FOSS will work for professional audio... how many sneers and eyerolls it solicits from others who paid $$$$, who knows.. prob a good bit depending on the circles you roll through.

thanks for your time! all the best!

I tried it.. was really impressed... really like the look and feel, was able to find stuff very easy despite massive menu options... it seemed awesome... but i scrapped the idea that led me to reaper so i havent played with it in a while.

also, the best resource I know of for interactive help is the forum at pd patch repo... https://forum.pdpatchrepo.info/ the community is the largest I have found and the help is probably more helpful and less snarky than other routes.

this is an amusing watch even if you dont care about mixing... or already know the subject matter. hilarious and insane!

another one ive heard a hadfull of recently--- Now and Xen Podcast... https://nowandxen.libsyn.com/ this is about microtonal and xenharmonic music, largely but not exclusively electronic.

there is another channel, "cheeto moskeeto" , that has been helpful and is often recommended, but the tutorials are 12 years old and i believe he uses Pd-extended so alot has changed, but still worth a look... https://www.youtube.com/...
