tutorial videos, noob-ify them please
I would like to make a general statement: when it comes to the available videos related to using DAW's, using Hardware and Software related to DAW's, I so very much appreciate these sources of information. BUT, jeez, could the producers of these videos please NOOB-IFY, dumb them down, idiot-ize them. Lemme breakidownfoya: I watch these videos and they are produced by people that, apparently, have years of experience with DAW's and digital music productions. I, as a consumer of said-videos DO NOT have years of experience. So's I watches them videors and my wee feeble brain shrivels even more, me last functioning brain cell begins to sputter and I am lost in the plethora of complicated information being shoved at my eyes. I get lost because, how should I say this: I. ARE. A. NOOB. I need actual instructions that are step by step and clear beyond any doubt.
In particular, I purchased a drum pad controller, AKAI MPD218, downloaded all the software and then started research on how to get the thing to make actual sounds. I have downloaded the included software, have other VST plugins loaded on my computadore but my brain has oozed forth unto the carpeting, shrieking "Why you do this to me, Dimi??". So again, breakinitdownfoya: I plug in the 218, I have my interface (Motu M4) running, I open Reaper, what after that?
Excuse the rantification of the situation I have outline above but creepin' cripes, Batman! Dumb-izationalization is needed. Show me a video where you say, Step 1: Plug unit to USB on your laptop. Step 2: Make sure your AI is hooked up, Step 3: etc. expressed in an easy to understand non-technical non-gobbldeegooked format so that even I can understand it. Uh, wouldyaplease?? Hmm?
Thanks ever so much. May the joy of life fill you to the freegin brim!!
