Tutorials That Made Confusing Apps More Accessible?
I am talking about that "a-ha!" moment with complex apps that opened the door for you. OR expanded an unused feature of an app that helped you delve deeper into its capabilities?
examples:
--i feel like i should or could be using Patterning for sequencing 4 measure loops.
---or using borderlands for tripping out my jimi hendrix samples.
--or using studiomux with my hardware 6s+, 12.9" ipad pro, behrenger uc222, behrenger xeynx 802, and even my old creative omni sound blaster external sc.
also my birthday is 9/11 (yeah, i know: never forget...it's the anniversary of john ritter's death) and i think i am going to either get a novation impulse, akai max, or an alsesis VI25---so i am moving in that direction.
my pc daws: fl live12, reaper, and Reason (trial--but i really really like it) . i use sound forge to edit and audacity to sample loops. truly i only have mastered sound forge and audacity (years of making mix cd's and hendrix compilations) i do not know which DAW i am going to commit to. i only sorta use multitrack in my ipad. i dont like it.
little background:
i love sampling and slicing hendrix and then playing little funky synth riffs over that. with early prince-esque beats and bass under those. i would fall more into the production, sequencing, sampling, slicing realm of ios music. but i am learning to play simple synth lines and i love all of it.
i use a lot of blocs wave, novation, samplr, animoog, aum and audiobus with damn near every fx and au availble on ipad pro and iphone 6s plus. love wavemapper, geoshred, sunrizer etc
i am just now understanding midi routing--and feel like my answers lie somewhere in multirouting to synths via chord polypad, gestrument, fugue, xynthesizer, etc.
i feel like i should know sector better, use animoog more for recording, or fully unleash aum's midi routing.
i am interested in any tutorial that opened doors for your creative process. ios or ios with a pc daw incorporation.
also--if any of you are hendrix fanatics---i would love to share the set i made Both Sides of the Sky. i distilled about 800 jimi boots to a four disc set. it's like liquid jimi. i have links i can inbox you. i love sharing hendrix boots.
Comments
This is a great idea for a thread.
Retronyms gets a lot of stick here, but this iMPC pro tutorial on chopping to pads is the gold standard for iOS how-to's.

Also, this simple Samplr video was very inspiring.

Good idea.
thanks, guys. always hesitant to start a thread. i come from a forum for the band Ween that used to be completely ruthless to new people.
I remember those guys.
The Fabfilter Auria plug-ins have the best tutorials in any genre that I've ever seen.
i used to be one of those guys but a nicer version...same user name.
thanks for these great suggestions.
Theres a series on YouTube called "wtf do these knobs do?" That has a few random tutorials for iOS stuff. The guy just does tutorials for whatever he feels like it seems, no consistent theme. I enjoyed the Animoog one. He really abuses it
I believe that guy is Local Resident Ian Tindale (or @u0421793 to those who know him).

Nice. ''Twas a great video
Although the sound test room ones are almost impossible to sit through and have way too many sections which go [open panel] ".. here you can change the [N] parameter .. .. and do some other stuff .." [close panel], I have learned massive amounts about how to get around the fundamental principles of different apps from them.
Disagree entirely.
Here here
I said "almost". I've sat through plenty
I was thinking the other day that the sound test room videos, if they go over about say 12 minutes, should stop for a musical intermission before continuing. It's not as if we're short of anything to facilitate either music or intermissions. It'd be a nice return to popping out to put the kettle on. On a more serious note, it stems from my pre-never-happened-PhD-research on attention and self; and also my experience as a lecturer at university and college and the requirements of how to manage attention when faced with students that basically have none. I think 15 mins on one thing is about the limit, before a change of topic or change of emphasis is due, or the brain just normalises it as wallpaper. This is true of everything, everyone, and every medium.
This shed a little light on my continuing 'fight' with iVCS3
iVCS3 still remains as one of those apps I've yet to fully master...
I liked this guy, Mee Zanook's Gadget tutorials the best. The quizzes are great, because they cover things that would make you have to stop making music to scratch your head and look stuff up.
It's nice to find the videos from real experts in a program, that are good at explaining things.

+1. those Fabfilter gents make a mean tutorial.
Yes! iVCS3 gives me anxiety and profound pleasure, somehow, at the exact same time.
Of course! To get the keyboard to work, duh, just double tap on the frequency for oscillator one, and input the number 369.99
Agree entirely (with @JohnnyGoodyear). I binge watch those joints. Doug seems like a genuinely awesome dude, and he's had me in stitches numerous times with his antics and random departures into unknown voices.
Make that 7. Unless the younger generation has evolved to double their attention span since I attended cognitive psychology classes
(which somehow I doubt
)
Fuck the younger generation.
As I get older my attention span is less, but I can still take an hour+ video if it's organized and full of good info. Most things worthwhile involve a lotta learnin'.
The Sound test room has so much stuff by a few different guys. Doug's are more off-the-cuff rather than tightly edited; JakoB's are very snappy. I remember the other guy did a great AudioShare video. For free it's a wealth of info.
The devs themselves offer some good stuff. Blocs Wave, Patterning, iFretless... Jordan Rudess does videos for GeoShred and many other apps that are usually enlightening... Maybe I should have taken notes.
Gaz Willams, Tim Behrens, Mee Zanook, Tim Webb are some other notables.
@Brice: Where are the Fab Filter tutorials?
Their YouTube channel is where I originally saw them. Mind you they're not aimed specifically at Auria usage, just that their plugins function exactly the same regardless of platform and host. One that stands out in particular is this ProQ tutorial. But they're all worth viewing IMO
I can't sit through a whole soundtestroom video the guy goes on and on and on and on in some weird accent, I think man come on get the the point......
For a while I imagined I was listening to Craig Charles explaining something on the control panel of the Red Dwarf. Just needs an occasional comment by Kryten and it'd be complete!
My original comment has been taken out of context in the interest of 'having something to disagree with', so just to quote myself:
Somehow ironic; the discussion on the first page is complaining about short attention spans, while the thread's topic is about referencing useful tutorials
It can also be contingent upon what one is “looking for” or alert to. Many times I've simply glossed over something someone said in a video and much much later some other sequence of events conspired to fall into place to make that nugget more meaningful upon repeat viewing.
My big complaint about video education and YouTube in particular is the lack of metadata or at least indexing. There's no hassle-free way of searching through a video for the particular location where the person says "…and when you extract the hand from the cow, you must remember…” without prior effort on the part of the producer to make that possible. It's a downside, and I think the world would be improved if it were possible to search a video reliably.
Agreed.
Many times I just leave a 20+ minute video playing in the background while working, just in case they happen to mention that one specific piece of information that I'm actually looking for..
That's exactly the situation here, and that's why I thought, the other day, that it'd be nice to punctuate it with little musical interludes, not just as a tea break, but also as a mental navigational marker.
