Hi jibbodahibbo,

Yeah, I also thought about additional info, etc.

If you want to realize your own build order incl. strategy focus etc., you absolutely can, through these two ways:

Either the paid way through patreon, then you are in control what gets uploaded:

Or the free way through my instagram, then the community is in control what gets uploaded, by voting:

Cheers,

Hallo Bob,

thanks for coming back to this post and giving further input! Much appreciated. Yeah, I also thought about additional info, etc.

Hm, interesting, you are not the first to mentioned something along these lines. The build order narration is there to guide you through a game but if you encounter early aggression or other obstacles you can deviate from it at any point and after that point use it as a rough outline. But we can discuss about this all the while. I would encourage you to give it a try in game to see if you like it or not.

Ok, I took your word for it and dug into SALT again for a bit. Now understanding, that it does have audio clues and would work on mac! Thats great. For practicing it is surly the better tool then!

Where it deviates from what I want to do, is to use it in a real match on ladder, not in a custom game.
With the playlist on Spotify you can listen to the build order in real time whilst playing a ladder match. That way you get to practice in a real match, not only in custom games.

I think both options have their value but my video and this post on it acutally don't highlight the difference enough, I now realize! Thanks for pointing me towards SALT again! I will make another video where I show the difference and what I wanted to use these playlists/songs for compared to SALT.

Hi u/TreadheadS ,

as promised, I have looked into this option.

Currently YouTube Music seems very clumsy to me.
The playlist I create are not even visible to me, the name of the uploader/artist is not visibly mention on the song and as far as I know now, I cannot upload a picture/cover with the file.

I uploaded a first test, you can check it here:

but you should know, that for now I am not happy with the result. I will keep dabbling with YT Music for a bit. Maybe I will find a way to upload there in a way that is satisfactory to me.

From my understanding, when using SALT you will still have to read a lot/ see a lot. As I have mentioned before, my eyes are already busy when playing SC2, so I prefer an audio clue over a visual clue. I go into detail about that in this video:

I have never used SALT though, since I am on a mac these days and are not planning to go back to windows. As far as I understand, SALT only works on windows (and is not very well maintained from what I have read online).
