Captain Chords Epic Explained
Captain Chords Epic Explained

Very helpful, clear

I really appreciate this video course. The YouTube video tutorials that are currently out there are not particularly helpful to me, including the ones made by the software’s producers themselves. I personally don’t like the highly produced, overly quick-cut videos that are prevalent on YouTube. I find them jarring and frankly not helpful.

But Captain Chords Epic Explained is outstanding! The instructor has a perfect pace for my learning style, not overly quick, but also not too slow or lumbering. He goes into a great deal of detail and, because it is a full course, has the time to do it. I have gone back a couple of times to review subsections as I have applied, this program to my own music production.

All in all, this is a wonderful class, and I recommended it highly!

Nektar Panorama CS 12 is a good controller but the manual leaves a lot to be desired. The Groove 3 video manual fills in several parts that are missing from the written manual. However, I would like it to go through more about mapping in Nektarine for 5 stars.Nektar Panorama CS 12 is a good controller but the manual leaves a lot to be desired.

Maybe the author can do a separate lesson just on chord types and common chord progressions

Disappointing

There is very little information about string gauges or why you would use different weights. The info is how to use a software program to match string tensions and how to get them to be uniform buy changing string thickness. So the corse should be titled getting even string tensions not how to choose gauges

Requires prior knowledge

In this course, the instructor demonstrates numerous features. But he does not explain how to apply these features.

As an example, he shows how to change the dry/wet mix on a delay. However, he does not explain how to figure out what mix you need for your track, or what exactly this is doing.

Therefore, this course will only be useful if you are already familiar with these concepts. I think this should be mentioned in the course description.

It is a mastering tutorial and not a T-RackS tutorial to begin with. The title is not misleading in my opinion. Mastering with T-RackS is a far cry from T-RackS Tutorial.

I've now done Larry's mastering courses on Logic Pro, FabFilter, Ozone, and Native Instruments. They are all fantastic.

Larry's course allows me to do this while also reviewing key elements of the mastering process in general. A very fun course and well explained. I would have liked a bit more time spent with the reverb plug-ins, to be honest - there's definitely more to explore - but it's a great course, nonetheless.

Before watching this video I strongly recommend to watch a distortion tutorial on groove 3 just to undertand how things work .

I was into Joe when I was a guitar student in in the early '80s. Even attended on seminar with him. His style is so rich, but it is also very practical and this training you hear straight from the master how to simply and recombine elements and ideas to broaden your own vocabulary.

Extremely Helpful

This is an extremely helpful course for someone like myself switching from another DAW to Cubase. The basic work flow and track routing was my personal biggest barrier to entry when learning Cubase.
This particular course is absolutely fantastic at keeping things simple, concise, and easy to follow. Whilst also being comprehensive enough to give you the confidence to be up and running with your own session very quickly. Cannot recommend it enough for anyone in a similar situation to myself - mixing for years already on various other DAWs, but finding Cubase's way of doing things unintuitive at first. This gives just the right amount of information to get you going without being overwhelming. A hard balance to strike. It's obvious there are other ways to approach everything in this course, but if like me, you just want to get up and running? You can't go wrong with this!!

Logic Pro 11 Update Explained
Logic Pro 11 Update Explained

Fantastic Tutorial

Eli, always a pleasure to learn from you, loved the video on the 'Hybrid Workflow' genius. The new internal MIDI is brilliant, but I do have a question regarding this.

Are there some settings under the hood that need to be tweaked? I gave it whirl with Omnsiphere and Kontakt triggering a piano. I've put a simple chord progression on the Omni/ Kontakt track, selected the instrument input on my piano track. I can get the chord sequence to play, but, for example, it doesn't carry the arpeggiator movement on to the piano track. The only way I can get that to work is if I put a MIDI effect on the Omni/ Kontakt track.

Do you have any thoughts on this?

Eli, I always love your videos and this is no exception. It further cements some consistent themes.

The quality is high, the language is easy to grasp, and even if the concepts may not be entirely digestible at first, e.g. one of my only complaints being that, having no musical training, I found the deeper music concepts a bit vague and confusing, eventually things make sense either in the same course or upon repeat viewings, and/or you decide if it's worth learning more about or not.

All that said, ultimately there is little you see or hear that isn't the crux of what the subject matter is about. And it's all easily understood for the most part.

Bandlab Cakewalk: Getting Started
Bandlab Cakewalk: Getting Started

Necessary for Newbies

Exactly what I needed to use Cakewalk successfully. I had stumbled around to make a MIDI recording from my Yamaha but without understanding. Cakewalk documentation is close to brain dead, amounting to little more than recitiation of button and menu names without context. Online tutorials mostly do the same. The Groove series shows how and why you would use the bewildering array of features to accomplish small goals. It's just enough detail to get you working productively, not comprehensive or overwhelming. After the Groove tutorials I am now capable of understanding the many YouTubes and other resources online. CONs: The Aussie accent of the presenter can be a challenge for Americans. Captioning would be very useful. The presenter uses too many pronouns and indexicals (click "here" & "there," do "this"& "that." We need nouns. The video moves too fast for pronouns). You'll also have to pause enlarge your screen image by 5x from time to time to see the microscopic controls being used. Other than that, the tutorial is near-perfection for learning the basics.

Very good tutorial on Ableton Live 12

I feel like I know everything I need to know about Ableton for my purposes now, although people who are just starting out should definitely watch at least twice, and also watch as many other tutorials as they can, here on Groove 3. By now, I'm quite comfortable with the various software, synthesizers etc, but it takes time.

It would be quite helpful if all the instructors on Groove 3 actually zoomed in wherever they are doing something, because it does get tedious to keep scanning the screen for the mouse pointer. That's my only complaint.

Omnisphere 2 Explained

Must watch !!!

This tutorial is really comprehensive . You really understand how the plugin works . No topic has been left uncovered , but mind that this is an how does it work tutorial not a sound design tutorial . If you want to know every aspect of the software this is the right place, otherwise check the omnisphere sound design course on groove3 . Mr. Krantzberg is very precise and exhaustive as always . I'm really satisfied and I strongly reccomend this video to all the people which own omnisphere.

I figured it out.

I found out that you can't run the video on the same computer as you run studio one 6. That was the reason that it kept cutting off. I just use another laptop to watch the video while I work through the video on my studio one 6 program.

Nice Video but…

Saying this is just like the MK3 S-88 is not accurate. It is set up so much different than this.

Beware: sight-reading tab needed!

Unless you know how to sight-read the tab, the video with the play along without the guitar is very hard to follow…
you can fix it if you have cd or mp3 in another device to follow the part you need to learn.
Instead, the part with the guitar is without tab…it makes no sense

Good Clear Tutorial!

Larry does a good job of presenting the best ways to quickly create beats from a variety of sources.
I wasn't planning on buying XLN Audio Life as I have a fairly full complement of their Addictive Drums 2 (and AdPaks).
But given Larry's explanations, I may actually buy Audio Life now.
