Hello there!
From my early childhood, back in the early 80’s I was always fascinated by synthesizers. I used to sit hypnotized in front of the TV whenever a synth appeared on the screen.
The unique and unnatural sounds produced with these magical boxes that were covered with buttons, never stopped to amaze me.
These strange boxes were not musical instruments for me – but something a lot bigger (no disrespect) – a kind of a gateway to another dimension.
I was fortunate to live near a fairly big music shop as a kid and even more fortunate to have the store manger let me play with the synths for hours! In return, I used to help him with small tasks he gave me, and everyone was happy 🙂
Since that days, my love for synthesizers never stopped growing. I admit that these days I lean towards the convenience of software and virtual stuff. With the powerful pc’s we have today anyone can have his production studio packed on his laptop. These technologies and capabilities can not even be dreamed on just 10 – 15 years ago.
About SynthBay.com (and enough talking about me)
This website is about synthesizers, electronic music, software and hardware synths, home production and anything related.
The site has a blog format meaning it is constantly updated with new articles.
Just like a regular monthly magazine, this website is also updated with news, photos, videos, reviews, reader’s stories etc. In an offline monthly magazine, you get the news updates only once a month, and it usually costs money. But in a blog which is like a frequently updated magazine, you will get the news for free and you can instantly access it from anywhere (well, at least where there is an internet connection available). Another big advantage of blogs is that you can reply to each article immediately and have a discussion with other readers. The whole experience is more interactive and lively.
Have your say
Do you have a story or an article you want to share on this site? Maybe a picture of a cool synthesizer you took and want to share with us? Please contact me and let me know about it. I would love to publish your stories and articles on this site! Appropriate credit will be given of course.
