<div dir="ltr">Thinking about this more, if I had one piece of advice to give to teenage me, it would be to buy a proper soldering station like a Hakko 936 or similar (used are pretty cheap!) with a chisel tip. If I could go back and do my first projects with a station that could actually solder instead of a plug straight in the wall radioshack iron I think I would've made a lot of progress a lot faster. I'm sure my soldering was bad at the start but a garbage soldering iron was a big roadblock and made me think I was never going to learn.</div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Fri, Oct 9, 2020 at 6:19 PM Jason Proctor <<a href="mailto:jason@redfish.net">jason@redfish.net</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">How is Waveform not Synth-Op?
