I just finished my first sonic piece after watching a ton of tutorials and seeing examples last week. https://gist.github.com/pgagnidze/fd01ddb9332c336d7e853f1215...

I had sonic-pi bookmarked/planned for more than 5 years. It is sad how most bookmarked items never get viewed or they are postponed to eternity.


I also have a bunch of 'things' that have been bookmarked for years: mostly movies and articles, some projects. This stockpiling has become tsundoku for more than books [1].

On one hand, divorcing myself from the initial impulse to consume or create something helps filter down to what I am and will be truly interested in. On the obvious other hand, the backlog grows to the point where I get paralyzed by so many options and the perfect ideas in my head that I end up not doing anything.

I struggle with the same, and I have exactly the same thought process.

Occasionally, I have a filtering session when I am going through everything and narrowing them down, however extra items are appearing until the next filtering session and the same goes again. It is a vicious cycle.


Did you save off your links for the tutorials you watched etc? I've messed with SP in the past but never got comfortable with it so additional tutorials would be rad.


I watched a few talks from Sam Aaron, you can find a ton of them.

I would recommend this playlist to get started: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4BPKaHV7Q5U&list=PLaitaNxyd8...

and the help > tutorial section of sonic itself.

Those two are just amazing: https://youtu.be/a1RxpJkvqpY, https://youtu.be/GPan4gRSwZs


Sounds great! I just started working through their tutorial this weekend too and hope to be able to make something like this soon.
