Video about Percussion layouts and midi maps

[shnootre]

I made this for a friend, and I'm no expert - but I think this may be useful for some. A little video about how to setup percussion layouts and midi maps (particularly when using 3rd party sounds).

My hunch is there are certain things I do here that could be improved upon, but overall, I think this might be helpful to some!

Thank you. It just so happens that I've been composing more in the orchestral vein recently and I need/want to customize my percussion options.
This came at a good time. This was incredibly helpful in navigating what looks like a complicated process.

One criticism, with respect: at 25 minutes, it might be a little long. But owing to the complexity of the subject, I wouldn't know how to begin to tell you where or how to cut it down! But keep them coming!

I'll probably watch it again to soak more of it up.

Thanks for the reply, and glad the video was helpful.
Yeah - I hear you about the length, and I do think with more editing and more of a PLAN going in I could have cut that length down. Really I was just making a vid for a friend - I did do a bit of editing afterwards, but gosh it takes a lot of time!

But I'll think about making some more of these. Last year I spent a lot of time struggling to get VSTs to work well with Finale, and delved into a bunch of areas that the finale manual and tech support teams simply don't cover. Will keep brevity in mind if I make some more!!
