Many plugins have many settings. In the case of Kontakt various libraries have different knobs and choices. A lot of VSTs have heaps of settings, there is not one size to any of them.

Unfortunately one really cannot learn this stuff overnight nor can one learn it from the top down. It is important to go through the basics to get the best out of the tools available. There is no one answer to all of this.

Having said that there are many good resources out there. In my opinion one of the best places to go is Groove3.com. At US$15 a month which is cheap and some of the best money you’ll spend. There is enough training to keep you occupied for years. Groove3 covers every aspect of music production from setting up your PC, to DAWs, plugins. production, how to record, mix and master. Even music theory and books on songs. Most manufactures and many, many tools are covered.

My suggestion to you is to got to Groove3.com sign up for a month and see how you like it. Nearly all your questions will be answered in one place.

Keep safe all
