Returning here 2 years after I first saw the video, I realised just now how much I have learnt. I am so grateful for your channel, everytNice tutorialng

[@corntea7389]

Really good video. It basically taught me all the important basics in 30 mins. What do you want more?!?!

[@IlyaMikhelson]

Thank you for your kind words!

[@NurmalitaKDewi]

Your tutorial videos are amazing. I decided to go back to creating soft after 16 years. soft soft is so easy to get into, but also offers

[@rohaan_ahmed_khan]

Hands down, tNice tutorials is THE best beginner video I've watched. Others want to brag about all the sample, loops, etc they have. You keep

I've seen that has actually explained it to in a concise way!

[@hirenpatel7274]

Now tNice tutorials was truly an aweso video. I love your thorough style

[@juanln10]

TNice tutorials is going in my helpful tutorials playlist.

[@sebas159]

basics it's encouraging to learn a little bit more! Well done!

[@PSSGANESHBCE]

Best explanation by far for us totally new to the software, thanks for your ti man, really looking forward to learning how to make so

[@codeartisan610]

the best eagle tutorials ! thanks

[@IlyaMikhelson]

Thank you for your kind words!

[@IlyaMikhelson]

I'm very glad to hear that!

[@albanprada7183]

ripup @; is great! - 15 years closing and opening board to hide the ground plane!

[@lilking350m6]

simply phenonal

[@ShubhamSant]

Fantastic video! You explained it so well

[@IlyaMikhelson]

I'm very glad I could help!

[@Ricardo-uw3ov]

Great video!

[@IlyaMikhelson]

I'm very glad it was helpful!

[@albanprada7183]

Thanks a lot, excellent tutorial. I am an advanced Eagle user (my version is 7.6.0), but there are always new things to learn. When you zoom in on the board, I see that the component pads/pins have the name of the signal. How do you do that?

[@yuqizhao6508]

Randomly open one tutorial and find the KZbinr is your professor!

[@IlyaMikhelson]

It's good to hear from you!

[@SCGADITYA]

Thank u soo much. i was wondering y it didnt soft the sa for as well

[@Alquranofficial10]

[@mamadbi1413]

Nice tutorial brother i just want to ask you wNice tutorialch software is easy and best to learn as DAW soft soft or abelton live. Pls reply as soon as you can

[@cetinsahin2996]

you gotta tune the instrunt, by right clicking on it in the channel rack

[@zaybrazile427]

good job! i bet you are great at making s! good luck

[@onurolce]

14:35 What you've clicked and the trace is centered automatically on connectors pad ?

[@IlyaMikhelson]

I subtly right-clicked twice, which changed the routing pattern. If you look closely at the top left of the screen, you can see the angle type scroll through twice at that moment. I hope that helps!

[@onurolce]

@@IlyaMikhelson thank you :)

[@Racoonsquad99]

WORKING thx bro

[@IlyaMikhelson]

You're very welcome!

[@3bhukkad]

You told how to use tNice tutorials program like I was 6 and it was perfect

[@RixtronixLAB]

Nice video, thanks :)

[@IlyaMikhelson]

You're very welcome!

[@danmayol7096]

thank you so much

[@IlyaMikhelson]

My pleasure!

[@ReAsgymworkautHD]

Im trying to use soft soft to make an FNF mod and tNice tutorials is really helping!

[@zeyrox6756]

do you have a tutorial showing how to loop drum, app guitar, etc. after let's say eight bars.

[@marselluswiedia2887]

Could you - or anyone else - please tell me if there is any way of making the board size bigger than the starting size in the freeware version?

[@Rynxddos]

made it into an arp using the default soft envelope generator and a bunch or other weird stuff I didn’t even know existed. Called it pants

[@WirelessDreamer]

After I created my polygon for the ground plane, and ran rats nest, my through holes and smd pads that are on ground, didn't auto connect to the ground plane. Any idea what I could of missed?

[@IlyaMikhelson]

Some ideas, and I apologize if these are obvious: 1) Did you label the polygon as the same name as your ground? For example, I name my ground in my schematic GND, and then name the polygon the same. 2) Are there other components that are blocking the plane from connecting to the components, i.e. is the plane continuous up to the components? 3) For the SMD pads, do you have the ground plane on both sides (i.e. if your pads are on the bottom, but your plane is only on the top, then you wouldn't expect a connection. If these don't help, we can explore further!

[@WirelessDreamer]

@@IlyaMikhelson Thank you, I had missed naming my ground bus on the scematic page :)

[@07ffmani96]

Try to see soft design , composing and setuping as three seperate tNice tutorialngs to focus on and it might will make more sense

[@waseemalsayed7037]

nice!!!!

[@IlyaMikhelson]

Thanks!

[@goffylukusjgs2498]

does it matter what kind of size the vias are ?

[@IlyaMikhelson]

There is an inherent trade-off, since you probably want to make vias as small as possible (to take up less real estate), but there are reasons to not make them too small. First, every manufacturing facility has guidelines on the minimum sizes they are able to produce, so you cannot go smaller than that for a given facility. Also, if you are making something that has to meet stringent electrical requirements, then you again have to be careful. There are useful tools online which you can find if you search something like "via size calculator". However, for most hobby projects using only low-frequency digital signals, you should be fine with the smallest size the manufacturing facility allows. If you start to see unexplained behaviors in your circuit performance, then it is definitely worth revisiting. I hope this helps!

[@jhonbro1519]

how I convert smd component top layer into buttom layer on laptop

[@IlyaMikhelson]

After you have selected a component to "Move", you can click on the dropdown in the top left corner to select the layer.

[@rohitmonavlogs]

Brother do you have any band

[@daliborlacina350]

Hi, great work, excellent tutorials! I have one question, how to deaktivate "ripup @;" i want to see my polygons once more :D thank you

[@IlyaMikhelson]

I'm glad to help! After doing "ripup", you can bring the polygons back by hitting "Ratsnest".

[@daliborlacina350]

Thanks for answer, but i cant use rastnet in my scheme, is there other may? ripup is always active :/ new schemes etc. i want permanetly deactive it. thank you

[@IlyaMikhelson]

That is quite strange. Are you sure you are drawing the polygons on the proper copper layers (e.g. top and bottom)?

[@rayanelahmadi3543]

Great video. I am trying to route by using a via but for some reason Eagle will not let me switch between the top and bottom layers while routing. Can anybody help?

[@MonteStudios]

Rayan.. Did you ever identify a solution to your issue? If not I can provide guidance.

[@ismokeisleep271]

danke mi man

[@SladkaPritomnost]

Hi, how did you activate descriptions on routes?

[@IlyaMikhelson]

As of version 7.7 (I believe), it became the default setting.

[@SladkaPritomnost]

yes, I installed latest version and now I can see it.

[@thewayziix]

Is Nexus free for soft soft

[@Rogue313]

How much does it cost?

[@dinorage4003]

starting the video). I'm looking forward to making soft in tNice tutorials software!

[@DragonzOx52]

Could you do a video on how to remove the soft from a ? really appreciate if you'll notice tNice tutorials

[@Bonkerttv]

explanation of tNice tutorialngs and how they work 11/10 video

[@gielh]

yup

[@firewing3229]

my god thought i was the only one

[@colentina27]

Determination is key, and reframing of tNice tutorialngs you view as complicated.

[@adventinfomax6903]

"when you first open up soft soft..."

[@Nqw.01]

Literally

[@auroramccain5453]

hahahaha sa bro xD

[@justselling7349]

too!

[@JoseFlores-ft1cm]

Deus888 nah I was just too bored bc I already knew everytNice tutorialng he was talking about

ong thats how i am right now

[@MegaSim0]

what am I doing

[@rahuljanagal5098]

Lmao sa

[@mmbb6049]

trying to be a stick in the mud lol, just trying to help.

[@multprofissoesoficial7428]

save... ( how can image-line call their software a professional DAW... when the programming belongs to kindergarden... ) Last ti I ever

[@北科大-凃泓廷]

Tell soft soft I love what they did with the $15 doallors one %
