  • I like Michael’s channel, he’s got a good technical backbone and is able to explain things simply and without leaving important nuance out. He also edits really well visually in his other videos, if you can’t catch up to technical jargon you’ll just see and hear what’s going on. That’s how tutorials should be!

    Fully agreed! I dig his calm demeanor quite a bit, and will definitely be checking into his other work. You make a great point about jargon: I’m not afraid of it, however, my academic background is in the social sciences. My professional audio background came from an apprenticeship-like situation, and every so often, I actually do find myself behind the curve when it comes to technical lingo.

    Though I totally agree, most youtube tutorials are a way rougher trip, but so are any written blog posts and guides. And those are more difficult to verify because you need to research writer’s credentials, where as in a video you can already tell how good the producer is.

    A very fair assessment — not every discipline can be as straightforward in video tutorials with regard to assessing quality! I’m just glad Michael isn’t screaming 😂

    I am a really slow and inattentive reader, so visual instructions work better for me. I know it’s not everyone’s cup of tea, so I try to post an overview in text on what the video actually explains. That way, I’m not wasting text that most users probably won’t read and try to give a good idea of what the video covers to those who do. Part of it is also done in the title. Let me know if you have any feedback relating to that, I’m always looking to improve my writing style!

    Your synopsis was great, and I don’t see anything wrong with your writing style! Your spelling, grammar, and punctuation are pretty damn good for a random internet post, I appreciate that you included some of Michael’s major points — the latter is what got me to check out the video, and, like you said, hear his demonstrations.
