@Melvin Rijlaarsdam That's most of it.. The Cascadia has been temporarily replaced by the Iridium, there's still a bunch of old samplers(undergoing restoration) and a bunch of things out on loan(Yes i have a problem)

Do you use a Mixer in your setup?
I've been using analog mixers in my setups ever since I started with music production. No fancy studer, ssl, or neve consoles, just a box with lots of inputs, outputs, and routing options. I find having every synth, effect, or drum computer accessible by just opening up a fader is such an incredible time saver. The option to sum multiple inputs and record with effects is something I simply can't live without. I just bought a Mackie VLZ4 16 for live performances. There's no time to scroll through menus in a live situation. I need to find my kick drum in a fraction of a second. Actually, building up muscle memory to blindly know where to find each instrument is one of the most important things, in my opinion, for playing live. Dub mixing is also something I'd love to do, just add a delay and reverb on a send, return it to a channel, and create feedback loops. You can do this with any analog mixing desk. Do you use a mixer in your live or studio setup? Why or why not?

A decent mixer, coupled with a properly organised patchbay can become an incredible sound design tool.. There are so many tricks you can can perform by layering sounds or parallel processing to nail sounds before recording/sampling them.. Such techniques are how they would get such surprisingly rich sounds from the primitive samplers of the early to mid 80s
Tangerine Dream Live 2025
I am a long time fan since the release of Stratosfear Ablum (1976) . So came across this concert recording Live At Augusta Raurica Switzerland and wanted to share.

I saw the newest incarnation of TD a couple of years ago here in the UK.. I was really impressed
Beginner Journey
Hii everyone - I am convinced to start my production with Synths - I tried Digitakt 2 which I really liked but (no judge) I am an absolute beginner... What do you suggest to me to start? Maybe an equipment to buy or a workshop or a mentor? Looking forward to your opinions

Hi Rhea, welcome to the start of your journey :) The Digitakt is a great place to start(I recently bought one myself).. You can do a lot with it and start assembling ideas and building tracks. You can also connect other synths/pieces of equipment to it as you expand your sonic palette. The Sequencing is excellent on the Digitakt and will happily drive external synths as well. Melvin mentioned some excellent addtions like the Bass Station II and Minilogue but you are really spoiled for choice out there.. Start with one thing, learn it and then expand gradually
What was the first synth you ever owned? #throwbackthursday
I'm curious, what synth did you start out with? Mine was the Waldorf Blofeld which my dad bought for my 16th birthday. I replaced the screen and encoders, but other than that it works perfectly fine to this day.
