MA2 Crash Course - Program a Show From Scratch
GrandMA2 can be incredibly daunting to learn. In this video, I'm going to be giving you a full-length crash course to go over all of the major things you need to know to get a show up and running from nothing.
Consider this your "oh S#!*" guide to MA2.
Remember that the desk is only as complex as YOU decide to make it and that the only true way to become comfortable with it is to practice and experiment.
