shfr26 Posted June 1, 2010 Posted June 1, 2010 Since it is time for the new people "noobs" to start doing their thing, I thought I would post a few of my SEVERAL mistakes I made my first year, which was last year. If anybody else made any mistakes, lets post them and help out the noobs, and maybe some of the not so noobs.1. If you get a sequence from someone else, DO NOT delete any channels or tracks. Next year you may add more channels or more elements than you had and now you do not have the ones in that sequence2. Don't be afraid to use the 1/2 speed play back when sequencing, it may seem slow, but it helps out alot.3. Check out the all the wizards in LOR, beat,tapper, and vu, that includes the peak.4. Learn the keyboard shortcuts and save tons of time.I would post all of my mistakes, but by the time I got done typing, Christmas 2011 would be here. Oh yea, don't be afraid so ask "dumb" questions.Hope this helps somebody.Another mistake, I should have put this under newbies insead of here
jimswinder Posted June 1, 2010 Posted June 1, 2010 Biggest mistake I made was buying my first 16 Channel LOR Controller...You can now visit me at the Washington State Insane Asylum since I spent all the rest of my retirement savings on even more LOR controllers...

Cray Augsburg Posted June 1, 2010 Posted June 1, 2010 Nope. Never made a mistake. Not a one. Never, ever.(. . . of course I was wrong once . . . or twice . . . or . . .)Wanna buy some waterfront property in Florida? CrayP.S. Biggest mistake was missing the sale last summer. I still ended up with two controllers, but paid full price for them. Ouch.
shfr26 Posted June 1, 2010 Author Posted June 1, 2010 I do not think anybody has a wing for us Gary, Maybe we should start a "clinic" and we could all live in it. Just think what it would look like during the holidays.EDIT: just for the new people, we somtimes get off track in the thread, just keep reading and you will learn something, I just don't know what yet.Last time for an edit: What you will learn is, There is no going back, you are here to stay. Welcome to our "World."

shfr26 Posted June 1, 2010 Author Posted June 1, 2010 Don't be sorry, that is why we are here. Have fun!
