Guy is always a ray of sunshine in his sun filled shed! Who we REALLY need in these gloomy times!

[AllanGildea]

Guy, you're an absolute tonic. Thank you so much!

[elisabethvannebo]

A good blend with useful knowledge, lovely humor, a real British man and authenticity, thank you very much Guy

[cwgochris]

Finally! For years I've been watching various music makers on YouTube and nobody has ever done a talk about MIDI controllers. Thanks Guy, you're the best!

[Jamie-B]

My favourite Guy on YouTube. Always great when you post a new video, mate.

Perfect timing, I started browsing yesterday for a better way to tweak EQ, automation, etc. than my mouse. Thanks for this Guy!

[JLXcellent]

We have at least 2 things in common: 1) I prefer tactile controllers over virtual/touch and 2) My first rule of technology is that it has to look good in the dark! Cheers :-)

Very useful video for me! I don't know much at all about MIDI and controllers, so having those things explained is great. 😀

[DThompson]

I never understood MIDI learn before. There are gems in all of your videos.

Sometimes, after a particularly fatiguing day, the unbridled enthusiasm of Guy Michelmore is the perfect medicine...

[bobe.thomas]

Another video that's all about your video - audio setup for making your videos -- your work is excellent and it all looks very simple and clear, which obviously means that you have organized some complicated tech in such a way so that it all comes across to us as a "simple" process... thanks!

[guitboxgeek]

You've mentioned some of your controllers before, but I've been looking forward to a deeper dive!

[bobhume]

Thanks for all the information and insight! My stay sane summer project has been recording an album of original singer / songwriter tunes (not film score ... sorry ...) and the learning I've done on your channel has come in handy an incalculable number of times. Much appreciated!!!

[contemplativecomposer]

Absolutely love the energy of this 'Guy' But Seriously, I have been watching this channel for a long time now :D
Such a character... and I have learned so much. Thanks Guy

I recall reading years ago about cleaning a qwerty computer keyboard by putting it in the dishwasher. The article did state that it wasn't recommended but was a fast way to get your keyboard pristine. So I tried it and the keyboard came out perfect, and after leaving it to dry out it worked perfectly. I wouldn't do it to any of my expensive keyboards, but I would do it again if I ever had a cheap keyboard that needed a deep clean.

Stumbled on this video and checked out some others. These are really well done and agree with the comments below. You make learning fun! Thank you for posting.

When you were waving your arms about manically doing an excellent impression of a DJ who's had one too many Trebor Mints, it reminded me of a Scottish/Borders expression: Giving it Laldy! Thanks again for your time and enthusiasm.

oh, finally I found very enthusiastic and expressive midi controllers review. So unique presentation.
