any recommendations on preferred books to reference as far as DIY synth building is concerned? I like youtube tutorials and websites and all but id prefer some books since I'll be building them in a part of my house with no computer and bad cell phone reception. :o

Curious, what kinda synths are you wanting to build? Eurorack style modules or something a bit more substantial?

There are a few volumes in this series, and it kinda touches ALL of the electronics, but heavy on synths. Basically it's a fantastic overview of ALL things circuitry and a super handy book to have around if you're about to endeavor down that road, you can find it on Amazon, it's "The Forrest Mims Circuit Scrapbook."
