You are welcome

I’m waiting for the ipad version after I did the trail. I was afraid already that it could become very hard… Good to be able to sit comfortable in the couch then

TrabanT · 2015-05-02T06:16:22.000Z

i stopped after like 5 lessons… i neither have perfect pitch, nor am i able to follow dependency of more than 4 varaiable parameters…

just became trial and error

maybe I will start again…

De_wouzer · 2015-05-03T18:46:05.000Z

i start to accept that the further I am in this lessons, the longer it will take.
so I make music for an hour, I do one or 2 challenges, then I make music again…
This way I can do one lesson in one day…

slowly I dig through the course… and slowly it is less Trial and Error.

I got half-way through it and got it about a year or so ago. It’s really good, except when you did the quizzes. It doesn’t save, so you’d have to do the quizzes over again. So I haven’t really used it in a while. I do hope to finish it because the information is really insightful.

The iPad version is to be priced the same as the desktop version.

But if you get the desktop version, you get the ipad version with it for free. Go figure.

I’ll probably get both versions.

De_wouzer · 2015-05-06T22:29:51.000Z

just installed the ipad version, really nice!

rgraphic · 2015-05-07T20:45:55.000Z

I am about a quarter way through. Waiting for the ipad version. I guess im in the second wave. Do you like it better than the computer? i imagine its a more fluid interface?

De_wouzer · 2015-05-07T21:28:02.000Z

it is the same as on the computer, but it is easier to hang around somewhere with my ipad than with my laptop.

so yesterday I took the train, today I was hanging around on my couch. I prefer not to use my laptop

De wouzer, where did you find the ipad version? Can’t find it in the Dutch app store…

Or the UK App Store…
I would probably buy the desktop version to get the iPad. Version if it was available…

De_wouzer · 2015-05-10T10:00:31.000Z

I have the desktop version…
Joe sent me (and i think Everyone who bought syntorial) an email about betatesting the iPad app. I downloaded it and did not find any bug. It works perfectly

I hate Syntorial (it’s amazing). It’s killing me. I am finding the group challenges extremely difficult. I am currently on Group 13 and it’s making me pull my hair out. I get blue in the face figuring out the type of wave used. Is it this hard just for me? How are you guys finding it? Am I hopeless or am I missing something?

wowzer · 2017-06-15T08:46:06.533Z

same here
after a while I got stuck in group challenges

ericg · 2017-06-15T09:19:20.860Z

Hmm never heard of this, downloading now!

New Lessons for SERUM (XFer) Added to the VST lessons
Cool, isn’t it ?

morsun · 2021-08-30T23:47:28.644Z

Group lessons, with time, take too much time, which I don’t have So in the setting I added Try again button and that solves Group lessons “problem”. Of course for someone who wants to be perfect in sound design that’s no go, but its good enough for me, to not spend hours on each Group exercise.

monquixote · 2023-11-20T11:17:38.245Z

Syntorial 2 is going to be on sale later in the week at half price.

I’ve done a few of the free lessons before.
People who are purchased it, did you find it made a big improvement to your sound design skills?

chaocrator · 2023-11-20T11:43:13.647Z

something like 5 or 6.
then i discovered the power of presets made by someone else

icaria36 · 2023-11-20T12:54:09.504Z

I don’t know whether it improved my sound design skills, but I found it very useful to better understand what is going on when you turn knobs in a subtractive synth. The exercises also helped me understand the basics of a sound, and now I feel I have a better sense about what to start trying if I want to modify a preset to go more in X direction.

Probably nothing that you can’t learn tweaking and watching videos, but I enjoyed the structure, the path, and the effective use of my time.
