Today I begin my deep dive into the Moog Minimoog synthesizer! I have a feeling there’s someone out there who uses it every day… knows it very well… If you are that mysterious wizard, then I’m your student. If you’re not, welcome, let's be confused together. Let this new adventure begin! Today I already learned that it's monophonic, designed to produce: thick bass or fat leads. It follows signal chain: SOUND CREATION -> SOUND SHAPING -> VOLUME SHAPING

I finally did an inventory of all the plugins I own… and the number is around 300 🤯 But they are useless if I don’t truly know them. So I’m starting a long-term journey of studying and testing each plugin, beginning with the most important ones. My plan: - 2 plugins per week - 3 days study per plugin - at least 1 hour each day - Sunday review of both plugins That means 8 plugins per month and so 96 plugins per year. I’m committing to some understanding how each plugins shapes tone, dynamics, color, and workflow. It’s going to take time and patience. But honestly… there’s no other way. Is there? Gotta do it!

We always want to encouraging you to create and release music! So, with that in mind, I created a free platform called membershipcollab.com that can help you all better connect with other students in this community for collaboration! In my opinion, collaboration is the #1 way to help increase your skills and grow as a musician, engineer or producer. The new membershipcollab.com platform is a tool all of you can use to connect and work on projects! 1. Create a free account on membershipcollab.com. 2. From there you can post projects and list the roles needed to complete the project. 3. People can apply to work with you or you can search for people/skills to find collaborators. 4. If you're in a paid membership you can always bring these projects to the mentors for extra help. 5. I will create a post at end of each month where we can highlight everyone who completed a project that month. 6. As a community we can give some support to these projects :) It should be a good time! Let me know if you have any questions, and good luck to everyone working on projects in April :) **Let me know in the comments if you encounter any bugs**

When I started my exciting journey of reviewing 2 plugins per week, I found so far that all plugins can be divided into these categories: Inside cube vs. outside cube What does this plugin do to the elements in the mixing cube? Or what does it do to the whole cube? Transparent vs. Non-Transparent (color) What does this plugin do to the sound fixing it (transparent) or decorating it (colored)?
