| Romelia Stankard 29.04.2013 | Adding another one I recently started using: www.subsekt.com it's a techno specific production community - new and kinda small but it is picking up and there is some good talent and knowledge there. |
| Laurel Litchko 23.04.2013 | createdigitalmusic.com http://www.idmcommunity s.com gearslutz.com |
| Malka Wickerham 22.04.2013 | http://www.futureproducers.com |
| Emelina Chillson 22.04.2013 | Cincinnatiunderground.org |
| Nereida Jasnoch 22.04.2013 | For the people that can't stand reddit: There's a thing called reddit enhancement suite. It's a browser extension and it's a free download. It really helps. |
| Augustine Mitzen 22.04.2013 | dubstepcommunity , dnbcommunity and couple of local ones |
| Klara Kinnebrew 22.04.2013 | Abletonlivedj is the only other one im on. Being only 6 months or so into DJing I have found even the answers to some of my questions that I google dont make 100% sense to me. The guys over there have been real nice and helpful. |
| Monserrate Rupnow 21.04.2013 | Abletonlivedj.com A little slow right now, but some really nice and friendly people there. |
| Neil Kenig 21.04.2013 | djz.com My second top site thing. The first being DJTT. |

s). I occasionally will go on gearslutz but I dislike a lot of the posters there and it's a lot of the same circlejerks and not really very useful. Muffwiggler is probably the best community of any community I have ever been a part of, and I've been a part of quite a few, only way it could be better if it was on vbulletin instead of phpbb but that's a minor gripe. This is definitely by far my favorite DJ focused community and the regulars are great- muffs is just really special and there is a really good level of community and trust and the quality of the average poster is really high. Everyone is incredibly friendly and welcoming to beginners and just really passionate about modular synths. It doesn't matter how many times someone new comes and asks for help on their first modular and no one complains and tells them to search or read the FAQ because there are always many people who enjoy giving help and it is fun to hash out system ideas. It seems a good chunk of module manufactures (at least for eurorack) post on there and are very active in the community and take feedback on projects on the community and they solicit feedback and reveal projects as they are developed. There are a lot of well known electronic artists that post there actively too and just post like anyone else (and I know a lot more lurk). Also the DIY community there is probably one of the best around for anything DIY synth related and the community in there is almost even tighter with people sharing custom designs for projects and offering group buys on custom PCBs and parts for little to no profit who are eager to help. Something about modular synths are very individual and there is so much depth it seems no topic ever really seems worn out or stale. The BST section there is also really good and active, and it's the only community I would feel comfortable doing an actual trade where we both send items out at the same time with most of the members there. I just really like muffwiggler if you couldn't tell. |
| Alphonso Deitchman 21.04.2013 | Reddit + NI community s are my other regulars. DJTT has the better interface though. |
