Thanks iOstrakon, much appreciated brother. It's not something I'm planning to do now, but I will in the future for sure if I keep going with this
+1
You definitely deserve it and hope you continue down this path
I second that
@espiegel123
I can see how my comments coming across as complaining. Not my intention and certainly not against the creator. I see it as a cheap marketing tool, like AK limited editions. Again, not personal, but I do my very best to avoid anything like that. Stopped watching TV about 5 years ago because of that and lately doing my best to stay away from YouTube as well. That's my personal preference (and I know I'm not alone).
You are absolutely right, I can shut up and not click on the link. Will that help the creator or anyone (I guess right now yes it would lol)? Monetising YouTube clicks will unavoidably lead to watering down your own principles. That's not good on long run.
Here is another wild idea...
Yes, content creators rightly should get paid or get something in return for their efforts. I also believe this type of information should be free for the end user (without the requirement of email, reg, subscription or whatever they come up with next, simply given when you purchase an app).
Devs hate this work and therefore often neglect it < - - > other people like doing it and want to make living out of it... how about they sort it out among themselves?
Cheap marketing tool?
I am sorry. I don't follow that logic at all.
This sounds like a variant of the "anything that can be downloaded or streamed" doesn't have real value meme that has made it harder and harder for developers and content creators to get paid.
Saying that content creators and developers should just work it out so that YOU can watch things for free is not a real solution.
Consider it. I already support Doug and Hainbach. You will be my third Patreon account.
@Gavinski, you are pure gold, my friend!
mmmm ... just to counter the complaint about making your videos so that you need to click on them and watch in Youtube. Thank you for making them that way!
I've always preferred to watch in Youtube directly for this type of video and have been annoyed by having to remember to click on the YouTube thingy to go there. I actually like that you can do that and wish all people would when linking tutorial videos. When I watch a tutorial video, I want to support the channel, like, subscribe, etc., without having to re-launch it externally. In fact, I wish that it would become a standard way of posting videos for Doug, Jakob, etc.
It saddened me to read the complaint about such a trivial thing and the presumption (entitlement mentality?) that it seems to me it represents.
@Gavinski , your tutorials are excellent. Hopefully you don't let a few detractors get to you.
@0tolerance4silence I think it is useful to have a discussion about this because I know you are not alone in thinking like this so thanks for your comment. But I do believe you are wrong.
I don't like forums as a venue for this kind of discussion because there is a lot of room for misunderstanding, and I'm busy enough with other things, but here goes
To me, there are a few reasons why people don't click through from places like this to youtube
1. Don't know how to. Especially on an android device it is not obvious
2. Laziness
3. Forgetfulness
4. Believe that youtube should be free etc etc
By forcing ppl to view on youtube I'm dealing with the first three issues.
As for number 4, we'll, I'm sorry, if people don't think that people like me, Hainbach, Doug, Jakob etc deserve to get financially rewarded, then... Don't watch. Seriously. Hainbach's videos have ads. Is there something wrong with his principles? What about Jake, Doug etc?
I believe in helping people for free and I enjoy it. For example I am really active in this forum. And that is nothing to do with promoting my channel. I also answer people's questions in my youtube comments section. It's out of the joy of helping and sharing.
But I have put insane amounts of work into this channel in the 4 months or so since it started. It is completely unpaid til now, and when it starts to be paid, it will be absolute peanuts compared to the work involved.
Even after years if the channel grows, it will pay only as much as a badly paid unskilled job. Maybe enough to live, not enough to pay for a pension or health care. Maybe after something like twenty years of hard work it might actually start to pay well.
I currently live in a country where I do not get social security, free health care etc. iOS is really niche. Even people like Doug and Jake who have been doing this for years probably do not have the kind of viewing figures you need to make really good money on youtube. So we do it largely out of love for the platform but it should not go unrewarded.
Being paid ad revenue does not go against my principles. TV works on two models. Subscription based or license based. BBC is an example of the latter. YouTube gives people the option of either. Either you pay for premium, or you watch ads. I'm sorry, but for me, 'totally free and no ads' is not a valid option. Not for people who are doing this on the level of the amount of time that Doug and myself are doing it, where it is far more than just a hobby.
The idea of doing some kind of deal with devs is a well-intentioned but nevertheless terrible idea. That would frankly go against my principles a lot more and would be ridicilously convoluted to work out fairly, and time consuming to always have to discuss and administer. If you give it a few minutes thought, you will see it is unworkable in practice.
We would then be in the pocket of devs and unable to give honest opinions about apps. As you can see in my Hainbach video, although I am a huge Hainbach fan, and am very glad Sinan is bringing his stuff to iOS, I didn't pull any punches about the problems with the app, mentioned the lack of beta testing etc
So thanks for the concern, but my principles are firmly intact.
It's the people who think we should be slaving away for free who need to look at their principles. This last statement is not directed at you by the way @0tolerance4silence and again I repeat that I thank you for sharing your view.
I really don't want to spend a lot of time discussing this here. I am actually super tired after three really hard days of nonstop work on the channel and basically beta-testing an app that I should have just been reviewing.
But I'm putting this out there. I hope that the few people who have a problem with what I'm trying to do here will think about it and see that I am right.
I think that the people who are against this are not doing it maliciously and I don't take it personally. But I think they haven't thought it through well. YouTube is the go-to place for music production tutorials. If there was a better place where my videos would get widely seen and I would also get compensated for my time, I would use it.
And thanks a lot to @wim, @espiegel @iostrakon @senhorlampada @Prog1967 @enkaytee @Wrlds2ndBstGeoshredr and others for having my back here. Much appreciated and helps to make all this worthwhile.
i prefer to watch em in the youtube app any way, any video! it’s a better experience for everyone.
also i have youtube premium so when i don’t have the time to watch every second of the video cuz i’m at work or doing chores, i can lock my screen and carry on thru headphones or the iphone speaker and go back to a video when i can or need to. plus if it supports the content makers who are throwing out great stuff id like to keep the cycle rolling and not stop
certainly you still get a view count if someone’s playing a yt video in the
Well said @Gavinski, I truly appreciate your efforts and the pleasure with your explorations that you communicate so well is infectious. As others have said, I now prefer to click through knowing that not doing doesn’t show that appreciation in the way it’s needed. No expectation but I hope you keep it up, a bright spot in a darkening world, especially when we’re stuck at home so much.
@Gavinski You deserve much respect here. You give so much to this community. I always click to the YouTube link and wish it was more of a given that doing so benefitted the YouTube provider.

No problem - keep doing what you're doing on YT and in the forum and don't let the buggers grind you down mate...click through for me from now on...👍
Thanks for your thoughts and taking the time sharing them.
I don't feel entitled to free content. I do think your work should be rewarded. I'll carry on avoiding ads and paying for ad-free quality content.
I apologise if my comments crossed some lines or caused discomfort.
Why the hell do I have to go through youtube to view this...................... or......................... am I just kidding? Yes, it's the latter. Sorry for the heart palpitations.
Thanks for the great video. I won't say what I want to as that will get me flamed to death but it will suffice to say I really appreciate a tutorial with a bearable voice and efficient delivery of information.
Your run throughs are excellent @Gavinski
I agree these demos are really helpful, and very well made, they must take many hours to produce. Thanks @Gavinski
Wishing you all the best.

Thanks everybody! @0tolerance4silence thanks for this reply, no hard feelings 👍
By the way, I was discussing with Sinan the possibility of scrolling UI for ppl with smaller screens. He says it is not possible for JUCE apps. But the app will be able to be used IAA in apeMatrix. Not ideal I know, hopefully a better solution will be found
Aside from everything... not sure if anyone else has mentioned this, but it's just a lot more practical to click through to YouTube. Making it even easier to do that is a bonus.
It's more practical because if you're watching on YouTube, it tends to keep track of where you are in the video. This one is over 40mins long. I don't often have to the time or patience to sit through videos that long, so I watch them in pieces. I started this one on the desktop, then later watched a little more on my iPad and it remembers where I'm at. Then, finished the next day on desktop.
If you're watching it embedded in a forum, then click away, then come back the next day, you have to start over.
It's also more practical because YouTube gives you more control over how the video is presented. With some vloggers, they talk really slow and sometimes meander too much. When that happens, I can easily just bump the playback speed up to 1.5x or up to 2x if they're really slow. That way I can get through them much quicker.
If you're experiencing slow network speed, you can bump the resolution down for more efficient streaming too.
I don't think I ever watch any video that's embedded in a forum unless it's really short... like no more than a minute.
I'm a dinosaur
In the past 10 years I gave not more than 20 likes (most went to mr G) and subscribed to one content creator... and with that YT is my second most used social media platform after ABF.
Beathawk is a JUCE app and it has scrolling in the piano roll. Gadget too (though maybe Sinan was only referring to AU apps).
I think he was referring to AU Wim, he said it is AUv3 that is the hardest thing to convert desktop stuff to with JUCE.
My suggestion was, if continuing to use JUCE, start to try to make the desktop interfaces in line with what would work well on iOS. Do I remember that one of the big devs now had a priority of doing things like that. Was it Sugar Bytes? Or maybe Klevgrand?
By the way, some will be aware, some not, but worth pointing out that Sinan actually has a PhD in 'Self-Evolving Sonic Structures'. This guy is an intellectual heavyweight when it comes to this stuff.
I think AudioDamage dev mentioned something along those lines... it's actually reflected on their latest releases. Sugar Bytes left plenty headroom for improvement in this regard.
He definitely putting in work.
Ah, thanks, that sounds about right actually. Yeah, both klevgrand and sugar bytes have room for improvement in their UI
Though SB did a good job on Looperator, and klevgrand on ting, so I think more companies are starting to think along those lines
