My comments: 1. Get rid of the first 11 minutes (or put that in its own video). I don't think and introduction to Ardour 3.0 should include talk about distros, etc. 2. I'd prefer to see an LV2 plugin as opposed to an external program (like specimen). With a plugin, you keep Ardour on screen for the entire video with the plugin's UI floating above it. With specimen, you're switching windows and distracting from the goal of the video. 3. If you do use specimen, have it running with a patch bank already installed. Don't include a mini-specimen tutorial inside this video. Ditto for Yoshimi and the jack-session stuff. 4. I probably have a shorter attention span than most everyone on the planet, but I'm at the 30 minute mark and you haven't played a single note yet. Maybe a series of shorter, more-specific videos would be good? _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
