Very Helpful but...
At first viewing I find this overwhelming in many respects. There seems to be the assumption that the "student viewer" knows and understands a great deal more than they do (or I do). This tutorial works on a more abstract/theoretical level whereas simply showing the instrument in action— as in the construction of a song or composition—might relate better to a true "beginner." I do understand more at this point and the instructor is clearly knowledgeable and fluent in the use of REAKTROR, however, this video seems to lack that down-to-earth quality a "beginner" needs. Show me how it will work in application, not just theory. But I will watch again and likely again and again...

REAKTOR 6 - THE BASICS
Love those brisk 'know how' Series. Even if you have used the software for a while and read over the manual, saw other video clips, there is always some useful part that you have overlooked or used differently or neglected, to widen your knowledge. The time invested always pays off, eve if you are already familiar with a lot of the functions.
