I completely agree. I use several synthetic VSTi's when creating my music, such as 3xOsc and Sytrus. I am completely self-taught in terms of manipulating these, but I would have appreciated it if I had have been able to learn from somebody else... It seems as there is almost no education in this area of composition available.
...that's what this topic is about, right? Not sure if I completely understood your point :unsure:
