Synth tweakers video chat meeting anyone?

Post by briandc » Fri Aug 13, 2021 9:47 am

Hi everyone,
I recently started a video chat group for people using linux hardware for making music, and I got quite a good response. It's been a lot of fun interacting with others who are interested in the same hobby, and it's a great chance to share ideas and get help.

So then I got thinking about starting a "synth tweakers" meeting online too. It would be an opportunity for people to talk about and share what they're doing with their synths, and even be able to help others who are looking for ideas and suggestions. (hence I posted this thread in the "Help" section..)

Does that sound interesting to anyone here? (or maybe someone has already started a similar group?)

It could be arranged as a weekly or monthly meeting, depending on enthusiasm. In order to accomodate both European and North American participants, I've found that a time of about 7pm GMT works good.

The meeting might be set for, let's say, from 7 to 9pm, and people could just drop in and listen and share as they like. Completely open to come and go, like a "synth café" of sorts.

Google Meet is probably the most popular platform to use (having a web browser like Chrome or Firefox should be sufficient) although there are other options too, such as Jitsi.

Let me know what you all think!

Just re-reading my post, perhaps some people thought I meant that I was proposing a linux-only synth tweakers online meeting..
The proposal is to have a place for anyone who is interesting in synths to connect and chat, share and listen to others about what they're doing with their synths, software or hardware.
With more than 1,900 views, I'm kind of surprised that no-one has shown interest. #-o

Anyone interested?
