I've mentioned this before, but the manuals are where? Hitting Settings/User Manual in the Raven brings up three 404 web pages. There are no direct links from this forum to the correct web page with the manuals, why? There's no direct link from the Setting menu in the Raven to the Raven webpage at slatemt.com/raven-mti2/
Going to the proper DAW setup site for the manuals you get access to one DAW specific video tutorial, and in the Support menu on the web page all hardware manuals are 404. Software wise you get one DAW specific User manual, in the case of Digital Performer it's an Mti manual from 2018. Under Media, you get "Raven Videos" again for DP at least, this is for version 3.0 If there are links to Slates YouTube channel where Jamey has made some great DP specific and general run though's of the new gestures, I can't find them. In fact Jameys recent DP specific YouTube videos are AOL completely from any sort of link. Add in that Slate has what? three web pages and corporate entities.
I could keep going with this, when someone said it was all smooth now, I just... yeah no! Looking up the Nav Pad in the MTi manual it's been completely superseded by the improvements to gestures, I literally can't think of anything I can do with it that isn't worse than using gestures. Page 16 in the Raven DP 3.6 User manual, the first paragraph on panning ends with "and"... the paragraph after is on the Nav pads and talks about controls not available in the Navpad for DP, waveform, track zoom etc. The very last page in the DP manual is "Troubleshooting Cubase".
Please tell me this is because version 4 is dropping soon, and it will all be fixed, but really, this all needs some love. I suppose the Pro Tools manual and links are good... or not.
