I've largely ignored the Patreon thing and not shown too much interested. However, noticed some interesting ones like Thomas Schumacher that have some exclusive content to learn from. Also, some, like Zen World, offer it up and claim to give access to sound packs and preset packs and so on for the $25 monthly membership.

How does it work? Do you pay for a month and have limited access/downloads? Do you have to be a member for a given time before being able to download anything? Can you join and then just download everything immediately?

More curious than anything, and feel like I'm way behind on this

 

You can just download everything right of the batch when you support someone and, depending on the tier you choosed, some content can be gatekeeped or not.

I donwloaded a lot of Noisia stuff over one month and then I just cancelled my subs. So there you go XD.
