It is a very good story that I have the opportunity to read new knowledge content. It makes me more knowledgeable.

I read the content of this website and like it very much. Because it gives us a lot of useful knowledge.

I always wonder ... if I grab all the freebies when the opportunities arise ... will I ever get around to learning how to use them..

I would love an extremely beginner tutorial on using a DAW. But most people teach themselves and turn to tutorials after they know how to do things like "Open the bojangles interface and click on the foghorn tab". So tutorials don't tell you things like where to find bojangles interface to open it.

There are some really good beginners tutorials around. Just say what DAW you’re using and I’m sure we can have a look.

My first thought was, "Well, not right now". Next was, "Well, I don't exactly want a general tutorial. I just want someone/something to answer my specific questions when I'm working on something and run into problems." And finally, "What I really want is a step-by-step series of lessons with specific assignments, walking me through writing a song in a DAW (using mine, which is Reaper) and doing everything the way I want to do things." Not too demanding, am I???

Maybe what I really want is a class (online or live) in which the participants are given assignments, one after another, until they end up with a song. Guided songwriting. Using Reaper, of course, so I can learn how to use it better.

John is a Reaperman and they have loads of tutorials on their website as well, plus a support forum.

Yes, and I have gotten help from John and the tutorials on the Reaper site. I might even have used the Reaper forum a time or two. I guess I'm just trying to be lazy and get someone else to do all the work and then funnel it into my brain somehow.
