Excellent course!
Now I'm ready to read the interesting parts of the manual, try things out, review parts of the course, try things out, rinse, repeat... Docked a star from 'ease of access' since the drop-down banner obscures top part of video for 6 or 7 seconds every time the mouse moves over video. When bouncing back and forth between video control and trying things out in Reaktor, this enforced drop-down delay slows down the learning process... hiding relevant info unnecessarily with each start and stop.

Very Helpful, more!
Example of what might be added: how it integrates with Komplete Kontrol and KK keyboards from NI, especially how the mapping is implemented.

Concise yet informative
This set of videos provides a crisp introduction to all the pages, sub-pages, and controls in Flesh. That is a necessary foundation for fully exploring the instrument. Really knowing what it will do will still take time and experimentation, especially since the controls work to modify each selected sound. Because we can import our own sounds as well as use those that came with the product, the possibilities are essentially endless.

1. When did you start dabbling in music?
I grew up taking classical piano lessons, so music has always been a part of my life. It started out as a daily chore and eventually evolved into a passion. Now I am very lucky to call it my profession.
2. What training have you had?
After thirteen years of private piano lessons I decided to pursue a formal degree. Two years in and I realized it wasn't for me. From that point on a began teaching myself and taking various online courses that offered subjects that excited me. I've gotten to learn and sit under individuals who are way better than I am.
3. When did you get into recording?
Ableton Live and the ability to make music with a computer were the two biggest reasons I didn't continue pursue a formal degree. I was in a band, we cut a DIY "garage album" and that started the obsession. The once obscured world of synths, hardware and software was now overwhealming as I transitioned away from a piano only mindset.
4. People you have worked with/for?
I have the great privilege to be working with Ableton as one of their Ableton Certified Trainers. Being a part of that community has been really amazing and life changing. I have yet to work with anyone rich and famous... but I have a feeling one day some of these crazy talented people will be. I get to work with students and artists who are chasing their musical dreams. I like the purity and passion that comes with that.
5. Why are you so good at training people?
Well, I've always been told that I'm a good teacher but I hated talking to people I didn't know. It took a while to get over those introvert tendencies and fear of public speaking and now I can't get enough. Watching a student get that lightbulb breakthrough or seeing an ignition of passion after the transfer of knowledge creates such a sense of fulfillment for me. I can't not teach.
