General
- Examples musically not very convincing (except when supplied to be used)
- Didactic immature because the individual videos were created seemingly unprepared
- Technical terms are not explained
- Too much back and Hergespringe between different themes
- No common thread throughout the course
- Author himself seems not to work with the machine, because it slips up repeatedly and fumbling rather unmotivated
Chapter 1
- Full chapter rather daunting because too overloaded for beginners with details
- Workflow is not shown
- That could have been done so (have) like the six-part video tutorial from Native Instruments (machine workflow, a total of 24min)
Video 1.2 - Presentation Part 1
- What is the difference between standalone and plug-in mode? What is a plugin? (Questions were not answered)
- Original sound: "a machine project is all the trimmings" (???)
- What is a group and what is a (n?) Pattern? (Question was not answered)
- Original sound: "The scenes represent the different patterns of different groups" (???)
- Only (ie does not know what he really wants to do) Loads an empty project and then a sample project
- Arrangement of scenes at this point completely misplaced
- "The Loopt now grade" What is a Loop? (Could be a notion of a beginner possibly. Be unknown)
- What is a Kit? (Question was not answered)
- Why can not I when I load a kit, just play something? (Question was not answered)
Video 3.2 What is a sound?
- Way too long
- Treated many things that do not belong to the topic
- When a sound in the browser and when under Samples? (Question was not answered)
- Why does not Prehear with sounds? (Question was not answered)
Video 4.1 machine as a plug
- How do I get a piece of facility arranged in the DAW? (Question was not answered)
- How was the machine-track created in Logic? (Question was not answered)
- Gets mixed up, even noticed that it's complicated
- Bad example (even noted himself)
I could probably go on like this, but finish here as an overview of the confusion and the lack of correlations was given. I'm pretty disappointed by this course. To have invested the money was wasted. Most of the questions I could even answer, as I've looked at the manual or searched the internet for other tutorials me. But this can not be the intention of purchasable learning course, which was created by a professional. Disappointments there freely available on YouTube (but mostly in English).
I would have liked a course that is efficient, how to put his musical ideas with machine while taking advantage of the workflow with the hardware. It must not be all, but only the most important options, routes and features are described. In addition, I would have a desired Authors who works even with the appliance in practice and also show a few useful tricks and can generate motivating results.
