NANDulator is a simple, lo-fi, CMOS-based noisemaker synth. It uses two IC's, a CD4093 (quad NAND gate) and a CD4046 (VCO/phase-locked loop), and a handful of passive components. I think it's simple enough to work as a beginner's project, and there's also room for modification/hacking.

In this video, I use a pair of loop recorders to create a different type of feedback loop. This is meant to show a concept rather than be only a straight tutorial, though the video does show you one way to do it in Reaper using a plug-in called Mobius (link below).
I realized after recording this that there's probably a way to do this with a single instance of Mobius, since it can record to more than one internal "track", but I think this may make the concept more visibly clear anyway.

Reaper and free versions of the included plug-ins can be downloaded from Cockos:
Feel free to ask any questions you may have in the comments.
In this video, I go over a sound design trick with reverb and distortion. Though I'm using Reaper here, you can do this in any DAW or audio editor that can chain effects. As always, feel free to experiment further!

In this video, I share a little trick I picked up for working with heavily-distorted kick drums, which have a tendency to muddy up a mix. The basic idea is to leave the undistorted kick intact, while mixing in a second layer with distortion applied. I find this can help if the low end gets out of control on you. Something I forgot to specifically mention in the video is that you will usually want to place the EQ *after* the distortion on the second track, because cutting the low end first will change the sound (though you should feel free to experiment there).

In this video, I show you how to use feedback loops in the Reaper DAW, and cover some of the possibilities. This video does assume you have some basic knowledge of using Reaper, such as routing and adding effects to tracks.

Lyrics:
Aren't we proud of what we've built
Toys distract us from our guilt
Shining screens that watch us back
High-speed, high-def, low on facts
Fattened up nice and kept well-trained
Masters speak and we'll obey
Feed our young to their machine
So their hands stay nice and clean
We will never learn
Notes: made with kdenlive on Ubuntu Studio
Circuit experiments and music from my various projects.
