Today at the vibes coffeehouse someone asked "Where are all the other vibes players? Why aren't they here?"
There were 27 of us on the Zoom call today, but there are around 5000 vibesworkshop members on this site. Only 25-40 of us are the hardcore bunch tuning in each week.

At the last coffeehouse we talked about audio equipment, so I'll share how I made this:
