Some constructive feedback:

I'm not sure how long this has been going on - but I noticed the past two videos from Blake have had delay between the keyboard video (what his fingers are doing) and his speaking video (what his face is doing). The face is in sync with the audio - but his fingers are not. I haven't always seen this as an issue with Yamaha presentations using split-screen. This would be something to get ironed out in order to improve the user experience.

Another issue particular to this video is that much of his interaction with the computer could not be seen. As if the computer was setup to use 2 monitors and only one of the monitors was displayed on the video capture device. We couldn't see any of the windows where settings were changed in the project. We could only see the screen change when the samples were updated - but not the wizard dialog boxes. It would be better if there wasn't any "behind the curtains" interaction when doing a tutorial like this on a piece of software. All interaction should be visible.

Hi Jason,

Thanks for your feedback. I am certainly aware of the delay issue and I am working to sort this out. It is a livestream, not a video, so some of the issue is that; some of it is the gear I am currently using (which is slowly evolving and being updated), some of it I think is the internet connection and some of it I think is the computer I am using which is getting a bit old and needs a refresh. As far as the wizard dialog boxes: That was my mistake and I apologize.

Here's the SampleRobot page.

Cheers for that. It took a few attempts for that page to load but got there in the end 🙂

Hey Blake,

The last screencast was much improved on the technical front. Thanks for taking the feedback in the right way - I'm really trying to elevate here rather than knock anything down. Now that the hands on the keyboard are enough in sync - that does it for me. Some, in the chat, noted that your speaking voice (vs lip movement) was about 500mS-1S delayed. That's not as big of a deal for me personally. I know you'll keep working to get everything dialed in.
