i'm thinking of creating a video tutorial. right now just brainstorming how to structure this video. I am thinking of adding a section where i go through three tracks and point out things to avoid and what to look for. please send me any tracks. good or bad.
also what would you like to see in a tutorial? i am thinking of including how to use each feature of the pulv, user interface. music production tips, my personal advice

cool, I already had the idea of starting something like this on my YouTube channel. however, I didn't have the time and, what's even more difficult, I hate hearing my own voice.
My ideas went in the direction of creating a step-by-step tutorial with several short videos. So as an example: Episode 1: Create an account, start the studio and explain the interface. what is a patterntrack what is a notetrack.
Episode 2 - Episode X: Presentation of the synthesizers and drum machines and fx.
further topics: connection with midi input, attack, decay, sustain, release, sidechain, use of patterns, editing and uploading samples...
In any case, I would not try to explain everything in a single video, but would rather make short videos that deal with one topic, but then in detail.
Hmm i was thinking creating a single video but it's indexed and has chapters. I feel it's more convenient for everything to be in a single video because if you already know something, you can skip ahead and not waste time trying to find a specific video
Chapters should Work also.
I only thought, how Long would be a Video including all your experience? I guess you can fill hours 😊.
When I made a bunch of tutorials, I really wish I had focused on the support board
https://www.audiotool.com/board/support
I think a serise focusing on common questions asked on here would make great and useful content for users on all skill levels. Some people just need to know how to lay down a midi track, but don't know how to describe midi in their question. Others have more advanced questions, like booster performance or waveshaper behavior (I NEED ANSWERS)
If you want to maximize helpfullness I think the short and focused tutorials like how audiotool has put out recently are a great method.
I have no experience actually ;-)
this is the state of my youtube channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxYoIfAydv8lG_I4leDcxgg
HOLY CRAP THAT IMAGE IS HUGE HAHAHA
I was also planning on making a tutorial for all skill levels. Still I think the single video might be a good idea. I really want to try it. I can always make another tutorial in the future if I want. The audiotool's tutorials and manual is a great feature and i'll be sure to mention it every chance i get
i'm not sure how long the video i plan to make would be, but i imagine somewhere between 40 minutes and 5 hours. i really have no idea!
ok i have thought of a general layout of the video. i think this might be good? maybe not? let me know!

going through demo tracks or ones submitted in this board, critising tracks. looking at good and bad music.
advanced techniques for improving performance
disable cable rendering through debug menu, recommended hardware, booster
final advice and tips
loving the recommended hardware section, definitely something I would include
also, hell yes to advanced features, cause im pretty sure most users dont even know it exists, let alone what it does LOL
everything about this is in a great layout, ngl
there's really not much to add, unless you want to go deeper into the drum machines or something in a different video or whatnot
The Layout Looks good. For the Midi control you can add the Tipp, that it is possible to use a Smartphone with an app as Midi Keyboard. I use Mine more offen than the big Keyboard .
