Personally: Hiking, biking, photography, DnD, and fixing things.

It sounds like a lot (because it is lol) but with ADHD having a group of hobbies I can orbit around (especially if they can overlap (like these ones))can help me avoid diving into too many new hobbies.

    Do you have any recommendations for starting with synths/sound design? I have just recently gotten into it and have be playing with VCV rack & watching YouTubes (been enjoying Omari Cohen’s)…but I still feel completely lost. I’m eventually hoping to get towards the generative patchs but I don’t even confident in building basic synth voices yet

      Sure thing. There’s a lot to take in, I know. Just keep in mind, as with anything, the more you do it everything will begin to make more and more sense. It’s important to get through the process though. When you’re able to move through synthesis with intentionality it’s like opening up a new world with endless possibilities only bounded by your imagination and the capabilities of the synth you’re using.

      This isn’t a bad video for a beginner. It covers a lot of fundamental concepts. He speaks a bit fast, so slow speed by 10% if you’re having trouble following. It’s a long video because it covers so much ground, so be ready for that. I hope it helps in your process!
