Loved the explanation of everything. Straightforward and easy to understand. Glad I purchased this to further my experience with Protools
I've been using PT for years and years. I still learned a lot about it from this Eli course. Example: he gives the clearest, most useful explanation of Side Chain Processing I've ever come across. I'm actually able to use it now! If I have one suggestion, it's to revisit some of the videos to ensure that when certain areas of the PT screen are discussed they're visible.

I stopped using Pro Tools at PT11 when the yearly subscription became too expensive for me as a hobbyist with a home studio but now with the more affordable subscription i am using PT2022 and the tutorial videos are terrific.
I've been away from Pro Tools for a number of years but recently purchased the new MBOX Studio and decided I wanted to have a refresher course to get the most out of it. As I've done over the years with deeper software titles, I turned to Groove3 and was not disappointed. While I enjoy most of the trainers on this site, I particularly like Eli Krantzberg who really dives deep and touches almost all of the features so you can improve your workflow and skills. I always come away from Eli's tutorials with a much better understanding of the software. I was also pleasantly surprised at the additional "updated" videos added to the course showing off some of the new features added since the original training was launched. The use of Melodyne was a nice add. I would like to request that Eli and Groove3 do a in-depth training series on the new MBOX Studio. I think it would help a lot of people as these units make there way out into the world.

I'm new to Pro Tools & producing music so this video series is PERFECT for me - very pragmatic, logical approach to mixing music from scratch in this incredible tool. Highly recommended!
Ely always explains his subject matter with immense knowledge but in a very easy to understand approach. This video is no exception to this rule. Check it out, informative and extremely useful; only criticism being I don't like the dark Pro Tools GUI as I find it harder to see what happening on screen. Well worth a watch though!

Eli never disappoints and he's a master at anticipating what students require. He has helped me so much here in Groove 3. This course is A+ standard and typical of his sincerity as a teacher. (It's a pity Groove 3 provide no dates on the videos and I often have to use the reviews to see how old a series is which isn't ideal or fair in my opinion - some of which are simply so out of date, and therefore an audit is required by the editors - however all of Eli's are current and relevant). I've been putting off using PT for years purely because I felt intimidated by using "The Industry Standard" and I believed it would be too difficult. However Eil took me through it bit by bit. In other courses, I would play through each video but here I found myself having to stop during the video to try replicate what he was demonstrating. PT is not for the faint hearted but this course really takes you through from the start to get you up and running as he promised. Eli also used music which was relevant and supported his teaching. He even brought in a live guitarist for the course which says a lot about Eli's professionalism and dedication. (Some other Groove3 authors are using music that is simply paltry and totally unsuitable for demonstration purposes - perhaps for copyright reasons but that's still no excuse - however this problem does not apply here with Eli - I believe the editors should listen to the supporting music before they sign off on the series and see if it's helpful or even related). I only have one recommendation on this which is the Automation section where I felt it could have done with an extra video (at least) as it was the only one that went over my head and I will need to explore further. I know this isn't an in-depth look but Automation is often the reason folk switch to PT. Also this course could not be understood by total beginners but PT is not really a beginner's DAW and Eli had no option in my opinion but to deliver the course on the understanding that the student understood at least DAW terminology and basic processes. Would have loved a tutorial on using Video but that's just me. This course is worth the money. Had I gotten the Automation better grasped I'd have given him 5 stars but 4.5 from me (as Mr McLoughlin will tell you) is very good. Finally I missed Eli's familiar "God Bless" at the end! Eli Krantzberg is a gift to music, period.
Great clear speech but would help tremendously if spoken a little slower as less is more, your a teacher at school and a great one too, you don't need to be that racing driver on the track
