So I heard there are some modularfags here. As someone who has no soldering experience, where do I get started with diy eurorack modules? What sort of soldering iron do I need? I've watched enough youtube videos to know how soldering works, I just need to practice before I attempt to build something like a synth module. Where should I start, and where did you start?

I use a cheapo 15 Watt soldering iron and it does the trick. Just make sure you can eventually find replacement tips for it. For practice, start with soldering components on a perfboard.

#1 mistake made by novices is not using flux.

What a coincidence, I have recently also taken an interest in analogue synths, even though I'm not very musically gifted.

Anyway, I say try small and simple projects first, practice a lot and learn the basics of electronic components so you actually have a clue what you're doing when you're putting together all your components.
