Admin: Some Reminders

Just a few reminders:

1. YouTube subscriptions still appear to be broken. If I'm not posting your synth gear vids and you are wondering why not, this is probably why. Send them to me directly and they will go here or MATRIXSYNTH-C. MATRIXSYNTH is about the gear and MATRIXYSNTH-C is about the music.

2. There have been quite a few updates to prior posts in the last couple of days. I usually have at least one update a day. Be sure to look for the red update in posts. They should be easy to spot as all other text is green or "link blue." You can also use the search box on the top left of the site to search for update. With that...

3. Remember to use the search box on the top left of the site. Search for youtube aliases to find prior posts. Search on gear models, manufacturers, etc. Also think about repeat words or phrases in posts, for example YouTube for videos, auction for auctions, flickr for images, and so on. If you want to find videos of Buchla, search for YouTube Buchla, or Vimeo Buchla. I should have added video somewhere in the body of each post, but I didn't and Blogger doesn't include labels in their search for some bizarre reason.

4. Click on the labels at the bottom of posts for more. I try to keep labels restricted to manufacturers and huge categories like soft synths for all software. But if you see an item that interests you, click on the label for more. Use the search box for other terms like HS-60, Symphonizer, and the like.

5. Be sure to click on the FEATURED link on the top menu strip under the MATRIXSYNTH title above at least once a day. I post like crazy, and I post things when they come in, otherwise I drown in it later. The obvious problem with this is big news items like the DSI Tetra might get buried. If you click on the FEATURED link you will find these posts.

6. You can find me on Twitter at http://twitter.com/matrixsynth. What goes up there depends on what I feel like putting up at the time. I sometimes note the more interesting posts and I sometimes note interesting but non-synth things I come accross that do not go up here. I'll sometimes link to an old post I came across and updated to Featured status but didn't think it warranted a new post here. I don't tweet to much as I can barely keep up with my email, RSS feeds, and posting here, so Twitter and Facebook for get less attention. Facebook gets the least because I just don't have the time to keep up. I do have a day job and family and friends and synths I want to play with now and then, so... If you have something about a synth that I have not posted and you think it should go up, be sure to either email me, leave a comment here in one of the posts, or DM me on Twitter. Otherwise I will not see it.

7. Finally, remember, MATRIXSYNTH is about the gear. MATRIXSYNTH-C is about the music and MATRIXSYNTH-B is about the auctions that don't quite make it here. BTW, all auctions are welcome. If you want me to put something up, send it in and I will put it up on either MATRIXSYNTH-B or here depending on the quality of the shots, the rarity of the item and any interesting facts captured in the auction description, images or video.

cheers,
matrix
