- Are you sitting around calculating or trying to calculate

the number of hours you need

to spend studying to become a programmer?

If so, then this video is made just for you, stay tuned.

(energetic electronic music)

Hi, I'm Tim Buchalka and thanks

for checking out this video.

So, a common question that I get from my students

goes something along the lines of this,

they'll say something like, Tim, how many hours

do I need to put in to study this material

so that I can get my first programming job?

Well I'm here to say that unfortunately,

you're looking at things around the wrong way.

Really, the focus shouldn't be

on how many hours it's going to take.

You should just be focusing on actually doing the work

and completing the course.

If you try and figure out or say to yourself,

well I need to spend 50 hours to become a programmer,

you're gonna be focusing on trying to compact everything

down into that 50 hours no matter what.

So, you might not put in the time that you need

to put into complete a coding exercise.

You might not watch a video two or three times

to truly understand it.

And that's because you're continually looking

at your watch all the time to make sure

that you're finishing at a certain time.

The reality is that people learn at different speeds.

Some people absorb content and learn things

at a faster rate than other people.

Some people have got more hours to spend each day

learning material.

That's just the way it is.

So, my suggestion to you is don't try and figure out

down to the hour, how many hours you need.

Rather say to yourself, when I take this course,

or when I start this study,

I wanna be doing it to become a programmer,

I'm gonna complete it no matter what.

And I'm gonna make sure that as I go through the process

I'm gonna completely understand those concepts

taught in a particular video or an ebook or whatever it is

before I move on to the next stage.

If you do that, and get right through to the end

of the material, you will be or will have

the skills basically to be a really productive programmer

because you've understood the concepts.

If you're rushing through trying to beat a deadline

invariably you're going to miss things,

you're gonna miss important things

and that may well really sabotage your future learning.

So, take your time, make sure you go through all

the study material and really absorb it and learn it.

And just think of the analogy

of learning to drive car, or learning to ride a bike.

When you start learning to ride a bike for the time,

you don't immediately say to yourself,

how many hour or minutes is this gonna take

before I can learn to ride a bike?

What you do is you get on the bike

and you start riding.

And you get better and better at it,

and over time you become very competent

and a very good bike rider.

And same with driving the car, like driving a car.

The first time you actually do it,

you're probably fairly slow, and things are hard

you can't remember where the clutch is,

you're trying to change gears and so forth.

And it's hard to absorb everything,

and you know, the stalling the car et cetera.

So, take a step back with your programming

and just say to yourself okay,

I'm just going to take as long

as I need to really understand this material.

And by doing that, ultimately,

then putting that amount in your study,

you're gonna become a more productive programmer

and get that programming job.

Alright, so, that's my video for today.

I hope you got a little out of it,

and I'll see you in the next video.

Alrighty, so, I hope that helped.

Audient Sono Software Overview - Torpedo Remote and Sono Mixer - Duration: 8:27.

In this video we will go over the software that comes with Sono.

The Two Notes Torpedo Remote

and for users wanting to get more control over routing

the Sono Mixer App.

Unless specified both these applications work in exactly the

same way on both Mac and Windows machines

So let's get started with the Torpedo Remote Application.

So this is what is used to control the cabinet simulation that is built into Sono

It is purely a control software for the DSP in the Sono unit

so it doesn't actually process any audio itself

and therefore doesn't take up any precious CPU power on your computer.

It doesn't actually even need to be running on your computer to get a sound out of Sono

seeing as all the cab simulation is built-in.

When you open the Torpedo Remote

providing that Sono is plugged in and switched on

the first screen you'll see is the arcade window.

This is where you'll make all of the changes to the sound

which you can then store on Sono as presets.

let's take a look in each of the elements on the

screen probably the first thing you'll want to do is pick the cab you want to

use so use this drop-down menu and select the cab

then it should appear in the window

to make it easier to navigate you can also

use these filter buttons to filter between the cabs in the Two Notes Store

the ones available in your account which includes the 20 that come with the unit

and ones on Sono itself.

If you select a cab you don't own you can still try it and use it

but there will be a few seconds of silence inserted every 30 seconds until you purchase it

If you decide you want to purchase it, you can click the shopping cart button to open the two notes store

When selecting different cabs you may notice a couple of seconds of silence as the cab loads

this is the computer sending the cabinet data across to the unit.

If you have a set of cabs that you commonly switch between

you can actually store up to eight on the unit

which means you can completely get rid of this loading time.

To store a cab you can press the icon on the right-hand side

or alternatively you can go to the cabinet manager menu

which will let you drag cabs on and off Sono.

Whether you actively store the cabs on Sono

or just select them from the computer and load them in each time

Sono will always be running the emulation on its internal DSP

meaning you will always be getting low latency playback of your guitar or bass.

Once you've selected a cab you can adjust the type of microphone used

to virtually mic it up using these arrows.

Different mics are available depending on the cab you've selected

but you will generally have access to a number of different ones

including dynamics, condensers and ribbons

a selection of some of the common mics you would normally find in a studio for recording cabs.

All the mics will bring out different characteristics in the cab

so it's definitely worth experimenting to see what works best

for the particular cab you've chosen but also for your playing style.

To make the cab sound even more realistic

you can then adjust the room that the cab and the mic are in

from smaller studios all the way up to a large cathedral.

Then control how much of the room's ambience you can hear

by adjusting the distance of the mic from the cab using this control here on the left

going from adding a bit of room ambience in maybe one of the smaller rooms

to a fully fledged reverb when in one of the larger rooms.

You're able to shape your overall tone in the effects rack on the left

starting with the power amp this is where you can bring in some really nice crunch to your sound

but this is actually controlled using the drive knob on the Sono unit.

While you already have EQ controls on Sono itself

you do also have some extra controls in the Torpedo Remote as well

firstly you have the tone control

which lets you move between a darker and a brighter sound

then you have the contour control

which lets you change from a vintage type sound to a modern type sound

which is essentially moving between an emphasised mid frequencies with vintage

and a more scooped mid sound with emphasis on the bass and treble with modern.

Finally you have the preset and output level

the preset level allows you to balance the current settings with other presets on the unit

and the output level lets you dial back the overall level

if you find yourself clipping in your audio software when you're trying to record.

Once you're completely happy with the sound you've made it be a good idea to save it as a preset

simply hit the Save button at the top and then choose where you want to save.

You can save the preset onto Sono directly meaning that the preset will be recallable

in one of the three preset slots and available at any time even if

you don't have the computer connected.

You can also save it directly to your computer letting you build your own library of tones

To change between the presets on Sono you just have to press the cab button to toggle through them

and then all the settings will be recalled including the drive stage.

To recall a preset on the computer you can select it from the drop down menu at the top left

or alternatively use the preset manager window.

In this window you can remove presets from Sono by dragging them to the trash icon

and drag and drop existing presets that are stored on your computer back onto Sono.

It's worth noting that to save a preset onto Sono itself

you will need to make sure that the cab is actually saved onto Sono's internal memory.

So before you save it make sure that you press the download to device button

or store the cab using the cabinet manager as discussed earlier

and that's all you really need to know in terms of using the Torpedo Remote software

as you can see is a nice and simple piece of software to use

but it's incredibly powerful in the ways that you can alter the sound

and ultimately create something completely unique to you.

For those wanting to use some of the more advanced features on Sono

such as advanced routing or the digital input

the Sono application is where you can make all of the necessary changes.

Open the app by clicking the Sono icon in the application menu on your computer

then on a Mac click on the 'S' logo that appears in the menu bar and select show mixer

on Windows you can find the 'S' icon in your system tray and again select show mixer

By bringing up the mixer software it will completely bypass the monitor mix knob

and enter software controlled mixer mode

as now all of your routing will be controlled on the software.

If you want to change back to using the monitor mix knob at any time

simply close the mixer window and click back on the 'S' icon and then make sure

you uncheck 'Software Controlled Mixer Mode'.

So quickly going through the different aspects of the software

you're able to see the different input channels both analog and digital

along with returns from your digital audio workstation.

Adjusting the faders for each of these channels affects how much

of each channel is sent to the monitoring mix

or in other words what's coming out of your speakers or headphones

using these you can adjust either the main mix which is usually used for the main speaker playback

or the cue mix which is normally used to sent to the artist via headphones.

In the master section channel groups can be hidden using the channel view options

for example if you're not using the digital input you can hide those channels

and keep your screen nice and clutter free.

You also have your typical monitor controls such as talkback, sum-to-mono and phase invert.

There is also individual mute controls for both the speaker and the headphone outputs.

The system panel can be opened from the view menu and gives you control over more of the features

you can choose whether the optical input accepts an ADAT or an SPDIF signal

below this is the clock section allowing you to clock Sono

from the optical input to keep your setup synced.

Mono mode lets you choose the output which is used when sum-to-mono feature is enabled

and the dim control affects how much the speaker outputs are dimmed

when talkback is enabled to avoid feedback.

The routing matrix allows you to choose the audio source for the physical outputs

'Main Mix' and 'Cue Mix' are the two mixes which you can create in the Sono mixer

and 'DAW Thru' allows you to send audio directly from the DAW

to the outputs without any additional routing

perfect for sending audio to outboard gear or external monitor controllers.

Finally you can select the talkback source this can either be one of the inputs on Sono

or could be any other audio device connected to your computer

such as a USB mic or the (computer's) built-in mic.

For more information about any of these features in the Sono mixer app

or the Torpedo Remote app

please take a look at the Sono manual available on our website.

Comparison of Hardware and Software - Duration: 2:52.

Computers have become a huge part of our lives nowadays.

We use them every day to complete different tasks.

But, what happens inside to make it all work?

They are basically composed of 2 main things:

the software and the hardware.

The software has all the instructions and information needed for the PC to run.

This includes the operating system and the programs.

The hardware is all the physical elements that make the computer work.

This includes the CPU, RAM, ROM, cache, etc.

But, what do they all do?

Firstly, we need to know that computers need data.

Without data, computers have nothing to process.

If there is no data going in, then there will be no data coming out.

So, if we need data to come out of the computer, it has to go in first.

Let's take a look at how it happens.

A peripheral device is a device that

you can add to and use on your computer.

These devices can be input, output or storage peripherals.

To put information into your computer, you need an input device.

The keyboard and the mouse are two of the most common input devices.

Computer systems can have many different output devices,

each converting data into a readable form.

The two most common output devices are monitors and printers.

Sometimes, our output is short-term, such as printing a photo

and sometimes, what we work on needs to be kept around for a while.

That's where storage comes in.

Storage is the term used to indicate that we will be saving data for a period of time.

We need to be able to store data and store files once a computer has been switched off,

and that's what storage devices are for.

Examples of storage devices are external hard drive, CD/DVD, USB flash drive and SD card.
