RTFM: The Manual You Ignored
The Manual You Ignored Podcast is the no-fluff, slightly sarcastic show where we turn product user guides into audio you can actually use. Each episode breaks down the settings, workflows, and “gotchas” you normally discover five minutes before doors, so you can get the gear working faster, avoid the common mistakes, and spend less time guessing (or panic-Googling). AI helps do the heavy reading; a real human filters it into the parts that matter.

Episode 4: Yamaha DM7 (The Manual Breakdown You Actually Needed)
Welcome back to RTFM: The Manual You Ignored—the slightly sarcastic, zero-fluff series where we turn user guides into something you can actually use. In this episode, we’re digging into the Yamaha DM7 documentation and translating it into real-world workflow: how to get a show up fast, how to think about patching and I/O so you’re not chasing ghosts, what to prioritize in setup and scene management, and the key features that actually matter when you’re mixing under pressure. We’ll also hit the classic “DM7 gotchas” that tend to appear right when doors are about to open—so you can spend less time menu-diving and more time mixing.
