Mixing with Ozone 11 Explained
Mixing with Ozone 11 Explained

Excellent stuff

I'm a huge fan of Larry Holcombe's video series. I did his Mixing with Ozone 10 Explained, which is a VERY different course from this. That one is more of a traditional mixing course, taking a single track all the way through to the pre-mastering stage. This one is more like a Tips and Tricks series on using Ozone 11 within the mixing context. I'm glad he decided on taking a different approach because it may otherwise have felt a little repetitive. An interesting range of music snippets is used too. I enjoyed the regular change in styles.

KONTAKT 7 Explained
KONTAKT 7 Explained

A good flyover.

The course was a good flyover.

I think some of it might need updating because I don’t see the same things in my menus. The options in my options window are different to the ones shown in the course and some aren’t there at all.

Some stuff is skipped over too quickly, like number of voices etc. There’s a mention that you can change the number, which is quite obvious, but no examples or suggestions of why/when you might want to do that.

I didn’t get the section on sample purging. If you can just purge all samples and then press play to load only the ones that are needed, what’s the point of resetting markers and updating the sample pool?

The undo button was mentioned, but no examples of its use were given, nor was there any mention of where to find it once its enabled.

I gave 2.5 stars for ease of use because I have to continually adjust the playback and volume settings in Safari each time I come back to the course. That issue has been ongoing for a very long time now.

Not Helpful!

Eli is an accomplished musician, no doubt; but he is NOT a good songwriter. This video series does nothing to showcase songwriting, much less the Real Guitar app; if anything, it leaves the viewer with serious doubt as to how ‘Real’ it is. Everything about this series is truly disappointing. If I were the developer, I’d be seriously miffed.

Excellent, as ever

Really enjoyed this. Nice to see the interplay of Neutron and Ozone in action. As someone who's also done Larry's FabFilter Tips and Tricks series, I did notice some crossover in what Larry was doing, but I just considered this as reinforcement and an opportunity to see how different companies implement the same techniques in different ways (FabFilter remains the more beautiful, but Izotope the more intuitive). Some great tips in here and an excellent illustration of how easily these two products can be incorporated into your workflow.

Also, each day when I return to the course, I have to adjust my settings again to the way I like them. I have to turn off auto play and turn down the volume. They aren't remembered by the browser (Safari 17) for some reason, which is a bit annoying.

Mastering with Ozone 11 Explained
Mastering with Ozone 11 Explained

Excellent!

As ever, great stuff from Larry Holcombe. I'm annoyed at Izotope for releasing Ozone 11 soon after I'd invested in 10 and I'm a little puzzled about how some of the newer modules differ from each other - Clarity and Stabilizer seem pretty similar to me...

I've no idea if Larry reads the reviews, but what I found great about this series is how, compared with the Mastering with Ozone 10 series, he adopted a more nuanced approach for the genres. (In passing, I'd highly recommend that other series to people who watch this one because Larry goes into much more detail about mastering in general there, and it's very useful and interesting stuff).

The one thing which was a big shame in this series is the absence of the Larry Holcombe Summary, or LHS. He didn't do his normal LHS at the end of each video. It's really helpful to have him briefly summarize the process he's followed, particularly when the videos are nearly 20 minutes long; so that was definitely an absence that I noticed.

Oh, just in case you do read these reviews, Larry, the following is a true story. Earlier today, I was sitting in a restaurant called Baker and Spice in Hangzhou, China, and I heard your track 'Sunshine' being played through the speakers. Your music has truly gone global :-)

Essential Fundamentals of Electric Guitar

Every electric guitar player needs to view and study this video!
Let's just see, if you can play these essential guitar licks live, with this much feel and intensity. It is humbling.
Electric guitarist, Dave Briggs, teaches the roots of all American influenced, British guitar music.
Our guitar heroes ( Keith Richards, Jeff Beck, Jimmy Page, Eric Clapton, etc.) grew up listening to this music, then took it to the next level. These are the absolute fundamentals of great electric guitar playing.
And the live sound of Dave's band, really gets so in the pocket sometimes, that you can tell they have played dance halls for years.
Learn these licks, and you’ll understand where your guitar heroes came from.

A must watch for Melodyne newbies

Melodyne is an amazing product for editing vocals. Much easier and more extensive than doing it in Pro Tools BUT... Melodyne is not the most intuitive program out there. I found the app pretty frustrating when trying to figure it out on my own. Then I found this video and the world of Melodyne opened up completely. It still take some getting used to but now I know how to get what I want. Plus Eli is a great teacher! Next up: Tips and Tricks.

I own Melodyne Studio using Pro Tools 2019.6 on a 2012 Mac Pro so not ARA

I rated the Value at 3.5 only because i have collected 52 of G3's videos over the years and for as great as this one is, there are others that aren't quite as informative. Eli is bank though.

Arranging Rhythm Section Parts Explained
Arranging Rhythm Section Parts Explained

Great focus on musical devices

While most videos on this platform deal with technical issues such as how to operate a specific plugin, this video series shifts the focus to offer useful and easy to understand guidance on how to arrange your music from the outset, so there are less problem areas left when coming to the mixing stage.
The target group are probably what I would call intermediate producers - this moves at a pleasant speed and doesn't get too caught up in the details, but you need to have a certain experience already to catch it all as it goes by. For more advanced producers, there probably isn't too much new stuff in here, but this is not meant as a criticism - it just means that the series focuses on the essentials, which I think is a good thing for most viewers.

Completely amazing course

'Amazing course' probably would get the point across, but 'completely amazing course' seems a better fit. I've just completed this course again after two years and it is just fantastic. Ultrabeat is amazing and Larry makes it come to life. One of my favorite ever courses, probably - and I've done a lot of them!

The only thing I don't quite get is why DMD is introduced as THE way of getting access to the Step Sequencer and channel-strip processing for individual drum sounds. Can't you do both of these things without leaving Ultrabeat? You can use a multi-output option and still use the Step Sequencer within Ultrabeat. Or am I missing something? Probably, I am. Still, for anyone not familiar with Drum Machine Designer, this video shows you how to go about using the two instruments in conjunction.

Still can't believe this course doesn't have any reviews other than from people who share my name. Perhaps Ultrabeat simply isn't being used anymore, which is a shame, because it sounds great. Probably it's an interface thing. Not everyone is into UFO-style designs.

Thanks, Larry. Such a great course! In fact, you could even say that it's completely amazing.

Useful insights from Tom once again

Another useful series from Tom. He could perhaps use the word 'super' a little less, as it can feel like he's trying to sell the techniques a bit too hard. I'm also not sure whether I fully believe him when he says, 'I think I'm hearing a resonance at 300Hz' and then the resonance is indeed at 300Hz. OK, perhaps his ears are that well trained - but that's very specific...Or maybe I'm just jealous.

Anyway, thank you for another insightful set of videos!

Thorn Explained
Thorn Explained

Worse than a video manual, because sound selection was torture

This course was no better than reading the manual and playing around with Thorn yourself. The sounds selected to demo each feature were often horrible and barely even showcased the feature in question. It's like there was zero planning on the part of the instructor other than to point and click and talk. The ambient patch at the end was pretty good and there were some good pointers there, but the bass patch was horrendous; I have no idea why the instructor thought that was a good example of using Thorn to make a bass sound.

In the end, I didn't learn much of anything that I couldn't have learned just by playing around with it, and had to endure constantly scratchy, horrible sounds that Thorn can tend to make if you're not smoothing/filtering etc. This is fine at some points so people see the process, but watching a whole course of it was just torture. Horrible sound selection for demoing.

Excellent Course

The Presonus ATOM has a lot of capabilities, many I did not know existed or did not know how to use them. This course did a fantastic job of walking me through all of the settings and what they do. I learn best by watching and experimenting, and this course is set up perfectly for me and does a nice job with showing the effects in Studio One while at the same time showing you the ATOM and what is being set. There are other training sites, but so far I found the lessons on Groove3 to
1) Have the best instructional videos
2) Have the best prices
3) Have courses on topics not found anywhere else

I like the options to either purchase and own forever, or to subscribe and view every single video during your subscription. I am a buyer, so I purchased it.

I waited a bit before leaving my review, so that I could give my honest opinion. I have purchased some other lessons as well, but have not gotten to them yet. But I will say, as far as Presonus ATOM Explained, this is an excellent course. So if you want to learn the ATOM, this IS the course.

I have been curious about Luna, especially how it would fit in with all the big hitters, but I found the features that really set Luna apart mostly as a final mixing environment and most importantly to record vocals.

BreakTweaker Explained
BreakTweaker Explained

Thorough and concise, and to the point! Pro tutorial fo'sho!

I got BreakTweaker in 2021 for use with ACID Pro. This series is very clear and the instructions aren't over my head. I am able to follow along quite well. These plug-ins , for me, are a struggle because the plug-in authors are horrible with documentation. I'm grateful for this GROOVE3 tutorial series. I was afraid I wouldn't be able to use BreakTweaker at all. Thanks!

Easy way into the ukulele

I enjoyed this a lot. Jim is very likable.

As a beginning ukulele player, I would have preferred more songs and fewer interviews with ukulele players. That feels more niche and of interest to someone who's been playing a while. Otherwise though, the course provides a very good non-intimidating way to get familiar with the instrument.
