JAMUARY 2026 // What it meant for views, money, and myself

A very different video after a very different month! Timestamps available, x1.25 recommended 😉 As with my instrument choices, the channel is becoming more personal, and, even though I've been around the synth world for a while, I feel like this Jamuary has been sort of my initiation. Leaving the comfort zone also means talking directly to you, and I wanted to give you some insights on this channel, my opinion on some instruments I've used, and a general warm online hug to all of you for sticking with me! Many of the things I've said here definitely ended up previously in some forums, chats, comments, but in text form, the spirit behind certain words and opinions gets lost, and that's why I wanted to record a video :) I hope you will find this asynchronous chat enjoyable, and I will wait for you in the comments for further conversations 🧡 Affiliate links that help me keep my hairline from receding further, regardless of what you buy, at no expense to you!
