Loopop's guide looks interesting, but to unlock the book I had to join (for free) the Patreon channel. Then it immediately tells me that to unlock the book I have to become a paid member.

It turns out that the free tier only gets you notifications when new content is published; to read that content, you have to pay.

I wouldn't mind paying, but dislike the bait and switch approach.

His patreon is really explicit about what you get for what tiers. I get that the patreon ui is pretty confusing, but that’s not his fault

He chooses to utilize Patreon for his business, so it really is, at least partially.

My condolences, you are annoying.

Come on, you can join for one month, download the up to date version and leave again. Not too much asked for such a ressource.

Yes, it’s definitely worth it, in my opinion. Loopops book is easily one of the most powerful collections of knowledge of electronic music production out there.

I’ve been making electronic music since the 80’s and still find the regular updates from loopop titillating and inspiring.
