Hi,

Bret. The problem with YouTube's search algorithms is that you either
need to know what exactly you want or else they make suggestions by
what's most popular or whatever else.

IOW if I search for "McCoy Tyner Giant Steps" I get exactly this.

But if I search for "comparison of grand piano audio units for ipad" I
usually get just the Sound Test Room and similar useless hits ... but
right now I got the quite good link that I lost

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0hNjccMkdK8

This is an excellent comparison, done by somebody with the right skills.
When testing the sample and/or modeling quality he takes resonance and
release and velocity dynamic behaviour into account.

However, I didn't get this links this morning, all I got was the Sound 
Test Room and similar "high rated" YouTuber stuff.

There's a difference between using the YouTube search for something like
"goldberg variations glenn" and "what is the best piano app for ipad".

Without doubts the YouTube search offers Glenn Gould on top of the hits,
but you unlikely get something useful to get an impression of what app
offers a good or bad upright piano or grand piano.

A software manufacturer can be a YouTube advertising customer, which
could be added to the other problematic criteria of the YouTube search
algorithm.

Regards,
Ralf
