It's definitely not the most professional and useful video
out there. ;) There are a lot of knuckle heads out there who
think they need to impress upon the world their mediocre skills and
knowledge. On the other hand, with the right searching I have found some
really useful and professional grade tutorials on these sort of topics in
computer music. Many of them are from people who work for, or our
contracted by major industry leades in software and music computer hardware.
The central problem is that most people have no clue what
it takes to create an effective education video or tutorial, web page,
etc. It's not like we come out of f'ing womb with these sort of
skills. Many musicians think that just because they are good on their
instruments or that they are very knowledgable of their craft, that
somehow they will be good educators. This is a huge fallacy and non
sequiter. Many years of instructional design research are underlying
really good education in the music industry. Much of the crap has to do
with people being inept at conducting a decent user profile and needs
assessment/analysis. Now, of course some people are more naturally prone
to be good educators, but I find this to be the exception.

Oh, this video is why i loathe computers in music... some guy
offers himself and his "knowlage" up to the masses
and perceives what he does to be worthy of documentation on
youtube...where as at a brass tacks level he is basically a dude who found a
bit of freeware and is now floundering around clicking on things in a semi
random fashion until it sounds kind of cool.
i know it has opened up a whole range of new people to the world of music
and i know we are supposed to have this communal spirit where it isn't
the knowledge you used to make something, its the quality of the end
product...but to me this is the same as the culture of taking half arsed
photos and adding a million photoshop filters until it looks like a toddlers
attempt at a picasso then uploading your wares to flicker.
sorry grumpy monday (well that and i spent the whole weekend
getting stupidly in depth with midi trying to enable me to do something in
live realtime with hardware that is ...yes a flick of the random switch in a
plugin) so maybe it is a personal vendetta.
