Earl,

I've seen numerous people describe the Reaper videos by Kenny Goia as the perfect template to follow to build a video tutorial series for learning a DAW. Similarly there are a few video tutorial series for my DAW of choice, Cakewalk by BandLab, that follow a logical progression for learning that DAW.

The biggest question for a video series about Band-in-a-Box is what is important for the video series audience to know? Does the video series creator concentrate on using the chord sheet, the piano roll view, RealTracks, midi, recording audio, using the audio chord wizard, creating a melody, The Conductor, The Jukebox, importing midi songs, etc. Look through the forum and you'll see all of these things and more are discussed in detail.

How much detail should be provided in each segment? How long is too long for each segment? My fear is that by the time a video series has a good outline, the program will be changed enough the outline would have to be revised.
