Hello! I'm radiodevil.
I'm in awe of the knowledge rumbling around this community...and the community itself, for that matter. Patient and helpful.
I'm new to SM, and I'm gonna have a ton of questions, so I thought I'd introduce myself in hopes that y'all don't get that frustrated with me.
I'm knee deep in reading the wiki, and plain ol experimenting, but any advice (on top of those) on getting going would be greatly appreciated. Schematics worth tinkering with would be AWESOME. I'm working my way to the "Useful URL's" part of the wiki, so I may grant my own request. Anyway, hello!
Rawk!

Welcome... this is a pretty friendly site so I'm sure you'll find all the help you need.

Is there a particular area of interest... additive/subtractive/granular synthesis, sample manipulation, audio effects, MIDI processing? Or just like audio work and want to learn a new tool?
Don't be shy, don't worry about asking 'stupid questions', don't assume a terse answer with 'why don't you search x and such' means you pissed somebody off - it usually just means that's where you'll find the answer. 🙂

Welcome Radiodevil. You will get along just fine around here with the polite introduction you just made. Nobody will get frustrated, everyone of us started where you are at and are still in the process of learning right now. 🙂

Welcome Radiodevil,
As the other guys said, you are off to a great start - using the searches, links, Wiki etc. (shocking how many new users do not! "RTFM"!)
Also, all of the users here know that the official User Guide etc. is not very helpful - many very simple things are missing from those documents!
Do not worry about your English - you are perfectly clear to understand - but it is OK also to post some questions in your own language. We have users here from many countries; they will be glad to help you translate your questions if you cannot find the right words.
Happy Synthmaking. 🙂

Thanks to all for replying

Right now I'm into making some audio effects...Guitar distortion is where I'd like to start (I'd get the most use out of that). I'm totally geeked about making my own. My ear is rubbish, so the amp emulation stuff is gonna be a lower priority. Still, I'd eventually like to try my hand at some eq's and compressors. Also, one can't have too many tools. Really though, yes to all. 🙂

Haha... I never did think we spoke English very well, here in Texas 🙂

He he, sorry about that - lots of posts this morning (and too many beers last night!), got my wires crossed somewhere! 😊

Not a problem...that's why I switched to bourbon. The hangovers render me useless, instead of partially operational 🙂

Now that's the kind of common-sense, practical engineering 'top tip' you just don't see every day! 😉
Think we are going to get along just dandy! 🙂
