Hello, I recently purchased VSL and I am amazed and overwhelmed by the volume of samples and the quality of this product. However, I am slightly at a loss at how to approach the monumental task of learning and mastering this program.
I am prepared to commit several hours every single day to learning VSL and the Performance Tool but I really would appreciate some advice from you expert users out there.
What is the best way to approach learning this thing? The manuals seem fairly clinical and matter-of-fact, like a reference manual without personality. I am interested in either lessons, tutorials, workshops, workbooks, classes, videos with real world application and examples. Are there any learning materials available besides the manual? "Idiot's Guide to VSL" ? I would also be interested in obtaining Logic files of complete orchestral creations with VSL; I think dissecting something like that would be a great way to learn as well.
Maybe I'm overreacting because I recently got everything installed and configured, but I would appreciate some tips on how to systematically and effectively start learnin this behemoth.
I think I would even pay someone to sit with me for lessons!
I am a composer based in Downtown Los Angeles, CA USA. I am using a dual 2.0 GHz G5 with Logic Pro 7, a Firepod Interface and VSL Standard Edition with Performance Tool.
Thanks,
Ernest P.
PS - I am aware of the Performance Tool DVD and planning on purchasing it soon.
