there are several lists which you might consider. a few that i subscribe
to are Analogue Heaven (analogue synths, recording, etc. and the eternal
Prog Rockers vs. Ravers flame war), Digital Hell (digital synths,
recording, etc. and the eternal PC vs. Mac flame war), and Electronica
(which has almost no traffic these days). all are excellent resources
for information and opinions on the creation of electronic music. be
warned that there is a bit of resent towards "newbies" on one of those
lists (not to mention any *cough*Analogue*cough* names or anything). but
if you watch the threads for a couple of weeks and check the archives
before asking questions, you'll get a feel for the list pretty quickly.

the following URL contains several links to sites w/ useful information.
near the bottom of the page, you will find info on subscribing to the
lists i've mentioned as well as a few others.

        http://pages.pomona.edu/~jmaxwell/faq.html

if you have any questions you'd like to ask, i'd be more than willing to
give a try at answering them as well.

> also, any "amature" musicians in the tri-state area?

if one of those tri-states is NY, then yes. i'm in the Albany, NY area
and am always interested in meeting new ppl who are doing something
interesting w/ electronics.
