In Praise of Video Tutorials

I'm getting a little more time to practice (courtesy of my soon-returning-practice-schedule-containing notebooks and some Meshell Ndegeocello bass line transcriptions), which also means that I'm getting a little more time to play around with Record as both a recording program and as a virtual amp. The program hasn't surpassed the Ampeg as my amp of choice, but the SansAmp into the program gets a credible sound. Also helping me get a credible sound are some good video tutorials from the Propellerhead folks - I'm really enjoying the short, focused topics both the company and their product specialist provides.

Sure, I'm still not recording anything longer than your average ringtone, but it's a little easier. Plus, I've got a patch that turns my bass and a random mic into a nice vocoder. And it's better than listening to the new version of "We Are The World."
