how do you prefer to do :
#1: Reading the entire software manual (suppose its a big one like Cubase's or Logic Audio's) and use it....
#2: Experimenting with the software 24\7 many sorts of things and sometime to give a short look in the manual?

#2 is more like it....
but if I don't understand something obvious, I"ll have to read about it.

Perhaps if your wallet allows you should consider option3 which is:
There are many people who advertise their services for one to one tutorials and who can teach you many things quickly... some even dont charge that much.. at least i am talking about London..
Then when youre confident with many things you can start experimenting and reading the manual a bit..
This is a big subject especially if you want to know what you're doing and it wil take quite some time especially if you dont have best mates with 4 yrs experience...

first i spent a couple of hours with the program..
if everything looks bizarre... i read the whole manual...
if i manage to do a lot by myself... i use the manual only if i get stuck...

Do both. It doesn't hurt to learn your software and hardware inside and out. The manuals are there for a reason and hands on experiance will show you things that manuals can't. Hell you can read the manual during long train, car, bus, or plane trips. In the bathroom. At work if possible. A little each night before bed.

in a manuals there is always something usefull
that almost impossible to find in a program by yourself .
and experimenting has nothing to do with the manual ,
but after reading the fat book experimenting can be
a lot more interesting . |

i have a 1600 page manual for my digital workstation. If i never read that manual i wouldnt know half of the ten million different things my station does. So my suggestion is ALWAYS read the manuals for hardware. Software is self explaniitory most of the time.
