It seems today videos are very popular, but I wonder if they can really help people get started? Would a short written 'how to make sound with Rosegarden' be better (also it could be updated versus a video which might become obsolete)
Totally agree. I watch a lot of instructional videos and 90% of the time end up going "I just wasted 20 minutes extracting 15 seconds of useful information that could have been provided in a single paragraph of text."
On the other hand, millenials won't look at anything except video memes with flashy editing effects and snarky, post-ironic humor, so it depends on who you're trying to target. ;)
With the above it's actually pretty easy to start making noise with Rosegarden once the system is set-up ...
Totally agree ... once the system is set up. Rosegarden is an unfortunately typical *NIX application, one that I looked at casually a few times over the course of a year each time going "No sound is coming out. Probably broken and buggy. Forget it." before finally breaking down and putting in the effort to get it configured and working.
A simple popup at startup saying "No external sound source or internal plugin configured. Try <brief tutorial summary> or go to http://... for help" would be a big improvement.
