This is the most in-depth but simple explanation for a beginner looking at software and hardware. Thanks a bajillion!

Good man Taetro this 70 year old retired sound engineer got straight up to speed on all this with your exemplary presentation. I now plan to have a lot of fun with Garage Band an Akai MPK.

Do you have a shop underneath your table?

As someone completely new but interested in taking up music creation this video was so pleasant to watch. Very informative and easy to understand. thank you so much!

Purchased the minilab mkII a few weeks ago, and it is such a solid controller. Feels and looks amazing, probably the nicest piece of hardware on my desk! For someone new to learning and making music the included software is such a great starting off point. Ableton Live Lite is great as everyone knows, but realistically DAWs seem plentiful at literally every price point. Analog Lab Lite was the real value for me, there are so many instruments perfectly set up for the controller and extremely easy to find. I honestly think that the minilab is the best option for absolute beginners for that reason.

Wow, you had guts in the intro balancing them all 🙀

I am a mezzosoprano, don’t know ANYTHING about electronic music, nothing, zero, nada. I got into this rabbit hole because I’m trying to understand what little keyboard instrument to pair with my iPad Pro to properly give online lesson during the pandemics... and now it’s three days that I’m consuming every video out there about midi controllers.

I think your video is by far the best I’ve seen. I’m gonna subscribe even if I really don’t know a thing about your subject, you deserve one more subscriber if that can help other musician get to you.

So what you're telling me is, it can run doom.

[almadelava]

I was trying to find a MIDI controller for my dad, without knowing anything about it and in two days thanks to watching your videos, I've learned so much and gotten inspired to try making some music myself! :D Thank you!

[ValeNL]

Thank you for this great explanation. Makes it easier for me to choose what i want and need... And have a good starting point. Thanks!

Taetro : Midi controllers dont make sounds

MPK mini Play : *hold my pitch bend*

[TheCthtoNicfLy]

Thank you for taking time for someone like me, that had no idea about any of that stuff..

[hArtyTruffle]

At last! Someone who lays it out clearly. Now I know which controller to purchase. Subbed and thanks for the 2 months free skillshare... I know I’m on a steep learning curve. I have brakes so it’s all good 🤓 thankyou 👌🏼

This is a great video . Based off of this video I went ahead with the Akai mini's older brother the MPK 249 . My reason is one, my fingers are bigger so "Mini" keys aren't in my favor . Two, I like the option of having more than 8 pads for drum programming since I like to jam "live" on pads . Three, having more faders available at one time will help with automation for me . I thank to thank you for detailed information you provided . It made my decision a solid one .

[Pickworks]

By far one of the best, most direct and clear videos i've came across. Thank you!

[Marcellrunthetracks]

I first skipped over the explaining part because I thought I new what I needed but ended up watching it and learning a lot. Great video!

[freazee]

Give this man a cookie or what ever he wants! Finally a good explanation for a beginner like me! Thank you, was looking for this since days.

[thomasdickson]

TAETROSS. You are indeed the Bob Ross of music.

[TheRukegg]

This was profoundly educational— very well explained for a MIDI beginner like me. Thank you!

[LoLFaceFTW]

I like this review, I really do. I REALLY like the way your hoodie stayed, then when you get serious about the subject it comes off. 😮‍💨 exceptional!
