i also agree with this, manuals are very important to me. but some vid's i have used, even for simple things (i stumble many times in ableton on the same problem, user error.. other DAW's do it much more logical for me, so i make the same mistake, and a YT clip of one minute, and it jumpstarts my memory. i know it, even. but well), has made controlling an editor, DAW easier. for plugins less, strangely enough. there are in depth plugin vid's, that have inspired me, but not many.chk071 wrote: Tue Jan 05, 2021 10:30 am What I strongly dislike about videos is that you won't easily find the thing you are looking for, whilst in a manual, you can search for keywords. That, and the very mixed quality of tutorial videos. Some don't mention or cover the important things at all. I'm all for manuals, but, I realize that I'm a minority in that regard.
i seem to agree with opposite opinions, me like! a new synthesis?
but the standard that you apply to yourself, does not (objectively) can be transposed on someone else.
de different ways of making music, the kind of music you make etc. if you are a beginner, or simply enjoy making music, with all the tools, that "we" loath (i am still a novice, but i have my own standards, or Demands, Regulating Demands), why judge that?
i can reply it myself; you seek tension, real use of techniques, inspiring stuff. music that has the impact of trout mask replica (....).
but this world ("world" is a strange term, even in daily use you notice that "world" is used in particular ways), this "world", this domain, of music, is populated by a diversity of people.
i am not a relativist, far from it. but applying standards from yourself to others, does not help the others, or not all of them.
i am not clear enough, sorry.
but exploration, manuals, experimenting with a synth, me like, me like so much. starting from scratch. also for samples.. (exception, i use drumkits, although in this year i didn't really used a drumcomputer, only my own rythmic loops or drum one-shots, of own making.)
and yes YT tutorials aren't that great. but there are exceptions.
i have Demands for myself, that i don't transpose on others (exceptions; other artists i know...).
