[musictlk] electronic music workshop

[Kenneth Downey]

The key to a good confrerence, or so I am told anyway, is that it be a small conference. That way, every question is answered, and there is time for the participants to chat before and after. We can do podcasting of the whole thing, and accept skype calls.

Sometimes when people use industry jargon my brain gets stuck on what that word the person just said and I miss out on the rest of the sentence an sometimes the rest of the conversation because I am trying to catch up. specifically defining any industry terms , software, or procedures would go a long way to keep my eyes from glossing over when learning new things I really am interested in understanding.

Three years ago, I asked all over if people knew anything about creative sound synthesis and people said no, but there were plenty of soft synths out there you could play. Nowadays, with the accessibility of Reaper, we can not only play those soft synths and modify them too, but use many of them to create our very own patches.

I don't know the best conference call app we could use to make it happen, but we can work all that out. If you'd like to speak or just listen in on the workshop, I'd like your thoughts and input.
