There's just a total lack of information - and most of the time, you get some a-hole demanding that the newbie "USE THE SEARCH BUTTON" as if pressing the search button gives you an easy setup guide.
No, the search button gives you tons and tons of posts on random topics, most of which are between people who've already been using the midi fighter for a while and are trying new things, or who have used controllers and midi devices extensively before.
What about all the DJs who have used a mixer and two 1200's for the last 10 years, who don't know s- about midi, and are just getting into all this? Would it kill you guys just to put up a single "how to" stickie that covers some of the basics?
No wonder the people I know who worked in tech writing got paid so much (and why apple has made such a killing) - there's this massive gulf between the techies and the people who can communicate.
