Syntorial

Everybody thinks that being a music producer has become a walk in the park, especially nowadays, what with all the technological progress and various solutions designed to make everything more accessible, but there's still a lot to understand before dropping a quality tune.

Syntorial is one of the applications that's meant to educate you in the ways of synth by providing you with a wide array of video instructions as well as hands-on challenges that involve you working directly with a live synth.

As described above, this application can help you understand what a synth is, what functions does it encompass, how it can be customized and how to operate it as efficiently as possible whenever you feel like working on a music project.

Once you launch it, an instructional video will greet you, providing you with basic tips on how to handle this app along with a video demonstration. After the video finishes rolling or you close it (because you're such an expert in synths), you'll need to create a username in order to reach the app's main menu.

Syntorial comprises a lot of video tutorials like the one described above, each of which has a suggestive name so that you can easily identify what lesson you want to begin and which ones you've already completed.

However, it also provides you with a component of vital importance in your study sessions: a live synth that can give you a hands-on learning experience by letting you practice various skills that you gained during the videos.

Concerning the interface and its controls, they're easy enough to be understood and operated even by complete computer novices, since all the app's features are available directly on the main menu, except maybe for the soft synth that can be launched from the "Options" menu.

If you're interested in learning a lot of useful stuff about synths while actually operating one on your computer, you might want to give Syntorial a try. It packs everything needed to get you started and provides you with a friendly interface and plenty of helpful tutorials.
