Having new gear that's easy to use is great, but please know that there are probably many features within the unit that you could be taking advantage of by knowing where they are and how to access them. So whether you want to read the manual before or after using your new gear, you'll be glad you did. This is no surprise as you are reading this on the net. I included this because there is so much benefit for your studio and gear from the Internet. Manufacturer and product Websites are the first place to go.
User groups are also a big resource for technical issues, new ideas, samples and patches.
Just use a search engine to find them. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Studio gear and software can be very finicky. Once you have everything running correctly, only change things that need to be changed. This includes software updates.
