Anti 'Mac Rookie' Conspiracy?!?, Are 'Mac Rookies' generally ignored? Options

[originalmidiot]

I'm a fish out of water when it comes to Mac/Midi/Audio stuff and it seems that whenever 'newbies' ask questions, they generally don't get many replies. Is it my imagination or are the forums geared towards the hardcore techies? Am I taking t he wrong approach, and if so, what approach should I take? Or should I educate myself first and enter forums only when my knowledge level is increased? Like I said, I'm new to this so I'm not sure on the protocol. Thanks.

Thanks for your nice and answer!
To answer to:
I haven't been reading the forums here for very long, so I don't really know how the attitude is here.

The aim is to create THE community for mac&music users.

Here at MacMusic, the french community  is allready big! It started 3,5 years ago, with the mailing-list...The english one just started to communicate in our forums, and new users register every days:cool:

1100 users registered since january: it sound's really impressive for us. Because there isn't any other sites or forums really dedicated for mac&music users (most talk about PCs, or are general mac forums), we are sure that theses forums will fastly become a hughe success, but don't hesitate to tell the rest of the world to share their knoledge & opinions in theses forums.

We've always been focused on the experienced (pro?) users, but without rejecting beginners.
When we can, we help them also, but as you just said , there's a time to RTFM, and a time to discuss in theses forums.

Anyway, beginners questions are always welcome... when they're well asked?

BTW, DigiMus, we need moderators for the english forums. Sound's like you would be an excellent one.. Would you  help us?


Thanks for using MacMusic.
Best regards, and sorry for my uggly english
