    This touch designer tutorial is for beginners and covers:

    - Creating simple geometry and rendering
    - Bringing external audio into touch designer
    - Selecting and exporting channels
    - Very basic 2D compositing

    If you have any questions feel free to comment below or if you'd prefer tweet @rburnsanims - alternatively if you're at Northumbria University just hunt me down.

    I apologise for my terrible explanations in some instances and the lack of frame rate (screen recording software). The next tutorial I do will be filmed from a camera thankfully. Comments and criticism encouraged as I will likely re-do the video's I'm making right now at some point with better explanations to replace the current ones I'm doing.

    Next tutorials will cover:

    - TOPs overview
    - Midi Mapping devices
    - Character controllers
    - Bringing in data and displaying it
