Short, Sweet & Elegant
Toontrack Product Manager has changed the way we Install & Register but the rest of the tutorial is short, sweet & elegant. I realize different folks learn in different ways but this delivery really hit the nail on the head—for me. I've used EZd 1, & 2, as well as SuperiorDr 2, for quite a few years, now, yet I still learned a lot from this tutorial. I very much appreciate the summary approach of building upon a theme throughout the illustrations and steps of learning this software. The outline and delivery condense what otherwise might seem overwhelmingly complex into a very logical, step by step... I've noticed quite a few online video tutorials jump around in their approach to show how functions and options are used—it can be hard to follow because the examples seem random. Not this video. For the most part, what is used to illustrate is also used to build toward a nice little musical composition... thus gathering and tying together the elements important to learn the V-Instrument software. It sure works for me! Thanks!
