basics of using the Izotope products

all the material on Groove3 is great

A lot of insightful tips and tricks here for anyone taking on orchestral mockups.

Learnt so much and applying the techniques has really improved my mixes. Liked the way the instructor didn’t just focus on the plugins themselves but took us through the mix thinking process with loads of helpful mixing tips whilst making the most of the fabfilter plugins. Highly recommend the course.

MIDI Explained is the most in depth discussion of MIDI technology I've found. Will be referring back to this instruction series numerous times as I attempt to get a deeper understanding of MIDI. It's apparent a solid understanding of MIDI will be critical to achieving proficiency with my DAW and all of the incredible MIDI Plugins that are available.

Been using Melodyne for so long but now With knowing how to use flex pitch its easier for me to just stay in house.

Instructor was excellent, described in detail every module he touched and their uses, very informative and knowledgeable.

Well done!

I'm a novice and this explained things I didn't even know I didn't know

I have some really old recordings that I’m trying to restore. This course is the final part of my workflow, which I hope will take my cleaned up denoised stereo files to the next level. Thanks a lot.

Very efficient walkthrough of remixing a stereo track using Izotope products. The music rebalance feature is quite impressive for extracting stems from a stereo mix!

Some interesting and creative techniques for bringing high end to a production. Although, a common problem with modern digital production is having too much high end, so I expected this to be addressed along with solutions for dealing with brittle/harsh high end in a mix. Maybe in another video?

Great, enjoyed it

I am very impressed with the depth of instruction in these videos. It has helped me immensely in learning this DAW. I 100% recommend this content.

Great series. Straight and to the point.

Clear and concise! Great compression basics for newbies, and a good refresher for ppl with experience.

Fab videos on Studio 5, am a newbie and it is really helping me to get to grips

Using this really improved my workflow

Segments are too Long. Simpify. The Man playing Winter's licks is Spot On.

Concise and well structured, explains the operation, rather than an overview of sounds and effects . That was exactly what I needed.

Awesome set of videos. To the point, easy to follow for beginners, really good tips and instructions that can be applied to any track. Logical workflow.

Interesting to understand how to organize the project and prepare for mixing

Thanks a lot, great videos

Im excited to learn about every thing this course has to offer has helped to further my knowledge in Music and music production it also has help in other areas in music I haven't thought about.

I am so glad to have made that purchase. I have found answers to a lot of questionning I had, and I am saving a lot of time learning, instead of doing things the wrong way. I am very satisfied.

I am amazed at how you guys teach in this course. I canceled an online music class because what I wanted to learn you guys had without all the extra noise. You guys do great work. I hope you guys do one for Serato Sample. Thank you.

Given that Al Schmitt recently passed away, this is a wonderful expression of how he worked. Really enjoyed it. What I think is important to this particular type of recording is having a good sounding acoustic space to record in.

Thanks for a fantastic teaching this course in a good pedagogical way.

The book is excellent to build a beginner program, and quite necessary for those that do. The quality of instruction was good, the information well presented and easy to understand. It covers the basics well.

Just not enough meat to this course. It only covers the briefest of overviews of what anyone could figure out. I would have been fine if it had only briefly made the simplest of patches. No such luck.

A great tutorial with a back to basic start.
Great to see how each step was auditioned after being used.
Well Done Groove3

I liked the content of the series but I didn't like the rapid fire pace of the mousing when the instructor would go to turn a feature on or off or highlight and change something. I watched the whole series and this was constant through out. I am going to have to watch the whole series again and I will take notes.

Groove 3 has been my lifeboat. Kindly add tutorials for Guitar Pro 7 and Ample sound AME. Thanks

I was having trouble using Logic before the tutorial. I've been using Protools for a very long time. Now, I'm liking Logic more and more...so many ways to improve the workflow.

1. If (!) you use Apollo Interfaces, UAD Plugins and Logic Pro X; Then this should be required viewing....
2. It also serves as a great individual tutorial for some specific UA Plugins....
3. Even if you use other DAWs and other plugins, this is still a worthwhile watch for mastering techniques....

Perfect and detailed explanations

Course goes into excellent detail covering all the parts of the synth. Learned so much from it

Very clear and interesting videos

Great videos.

I'v liked this u produce series

This video series was extremely helpful. I’m excited to get started implementing the knowledge I learned from these videos. Thank you!

Thanks again Eli.

Obviously, in the guitar community, JB needs no introduction. What I love about these (older) videos, is seeing how much he had then; already in his trick bag. Also, he's not much of a pedal guy these days, but it is nice to see him show his pedals, and how they formed his tone (then).

Larry gives some great tips on using the Logic Plugins. There were a couple of plugins I have rarely, or never, used and I found some cool things to try for completely different types of material. Always welcome ideas. I am a yearly subscriber to Groove3 for a number of reasons and this video proves its worth.

Thanks man. Loved the course and learned how to use it after all these years

Very well laid out. Incredibly useful!

Lessons go over useful techniques for the newbie. Very clear instructions. Grounded fella with no pretensions even if he plays with the greatest!

It is well worth the 2 to 3 hours of tuition for this app to find out lots of little details that would not have been easily apparent by just playing around with it.

Well presented and useful. Videos are just the right length and to the point.

After buying SSSR, I thought to myself: what's the point of having isolation booth IRs, but this video demonstrates their purpose. Good tips for creatively applying this reverb! Eli is a great!

It's helpfull to have so much information 24/7 365 days a year. Well worth the price. Always take advantage of Videos on a weekly basis.

I've just started the first lessons on using strings with midi orchestration and I have learned a lot already. The lessons stay on point and the videos are done well, so it is all easy to follow.

I really appreciate this instructional video and have learned a lot from it, cheers!

Almost impossible to follow without Logic and a lot of third party plug ins.

Great insights into the world of drumming at a Masters level.

Easy to follow. Lekker

This was a great tutorial by Doug. Very on par with Eli's Logic videos. Really enjoyed working though this one. It would have been cool to see a few more creative methods to use with AM, but definitely gives you a solid foundation and understanding.

Very well explained with a little sound design, I would like more video like this one on Reason

Clear instructions that I found useful and will be using in my next sessions

This is excellent value for the money. Top content, top presenters, top subjects!

Started very interestingly.
It got a bit geeky. Curiously I found this most interesting and learnt a lot. Recommended for anyone planning to mess with bass regardless of genre. Thank you

The teacher is very charismatic, which I'll admit surprised me a bit at first. However once I stopped watching him and started listening to what he was saying, I started learning way more than I thought this introductory course would teach.

Kenny is clear, concise- wonderful overview on different ways to use delay! We all know reverb, great intro to delay!

Eli is a great tutor and the Sound Variations (3 tutorials) is well covered but I can't understand therefore the Studio 1 remote app was ignored especially when it was referenced in the tutorials and is logical for anyone using SVs. Have to go to Youtube for this unfortunately. Otherwise the product is very good.

The book is so wordy and vague that I lost the motivation to even want to continue to read it.

I use BIAB for Mac 2020 and this course has really opened my eyes to the possibilites this incredible tool offers. Some things have changed of course since 2014, but use the Search feature in the Help menu to find menu items which have moved around. I found everything with a bit of trial and error. I wish the course was based around a single project and how to develop it, but this is more a "grand tour" of the product. It is very well executed and easy to follow.

Very comprehensive content. If you have basic knowledge of music theory and want to incorporate symphonic arrangements into your music, this is the course to go for.

I decided to add MixBus to my traditional studio setup. I am a longtime user of Motu Digital Performer. The Harrison MixBus intrigued me somewhat. However the workflow is considerably different in so many ways. I stumbled upon the Groove3 tutorials on a Facebook ad, and since the price point was awesome, I took a gamble and purchased it. I won that gamble. Right from the start, this series was super helpful in the simplicity of loading a project. It saved me hours of hit and miss attempting to learn this software. The video's are easy to follow and are clear and concise. So much so that even an entry level engineer/producer can learn quickly. These handy video's have already saved me a ton of time and I'm only at the 1/2 way point in the series.

I 100% recommend this series for beginners or pros alike who are wanting to learn the workings of Harrison MixBus.

This covers lots of ground, but it is easy to follow along. Even if you think you know the product, you will find a tip or trick.

I think that you need to see Melodyne explained to really appreciate this video. Once you’ve got the basics right, what you can do with this plugin is absolutely mind blowing. I’ve had Melodyne for a long time and didn’t really use it to its fullest, this video makes me want to try things I never thought of. Clear concise explanations of its capabilities is what I got from this video. Excellent!

Finally decided to jump in feet first.

The digital world of applications and plugins has become much more complex than a large format console, outboard and tape machines.

The wealth of information, as well as the superb presentations are worth their weight in server racks!

A big thank you to all those involved.


Sincerely,

John Chase

I’ve watched Eli a few times and he always manages to lose me somewhere along the way lol but when i get in front of my gear i realize how much control of the product i retained. It’s always the same with
Eli, when he’s explaining somethings I find myself going “What?” But I am always amazed how fast I’m up and runnig

No midi lesson?

very well explained

This was a great mixing tutorial It didn't have the usual blah blah blah that some can have. It was to the point and well done!

I love the way they explain these courses. I am glad that I bought it.

This tutorial is a gift, well explained, with good "visual feedbacks" ;)
Adam knows how to be effective choosing small subjects and providing goods and different examples to push the concept beyond the cliché or the "known by heard".
Very interesting

Great jobs,
thanks !

Nice overview, giving me a good sense of what this product does and how to use it.

Nice

As usual, Eli explains things in an easy to understand way.

This tutorial gives a great overview of the functionality of Logic Pro X and is a good starting point for working with this DAW. It was worth its money for me, would buy it again.

This a high quality intro of the course strait to the point. The information is very easy to grasp even for beginners. I defiantly going to purchase this song writing course.

Just started the book. Scanning the chapters and table of contents, this could potentially revolutionize my songwriting and further my creativity and productivity.

It was interesting to see slightly different approaches to using EZKeys, but I'm not sure how much added value this has on top of "EZkeys Explained". If I didn't have an All-Access Pass, I think I would have been disappointed with this course.

This is part tutorial and part watch me try to fix my song. Many parts are way too long without actually teaching anything new, just trying things out , where we have to watch. Systematically going through the menues is ok but a more practical workflow could be more helpful

William Kanengiser masterfully shows a part of classical guitar playing overlooked by many, the use of classical guitar techniques to express the artist soul, his artistry, not just virtuosity.

covered all basics and knowledge You need to start Your mixing in Pro Tools

Will get you up and running!!

This Studio one update course is good for your money.

Very well explained. Would love an advanced features course that includes practical uses especially for live gigs.

I can do new changes and upgrades with confidence now!, I can access the tools I've purchased individually, to learn specific actions to preform for specific effects. it gets that learning curve right there where it's acceptable, and it's become second to none for reference. I was so overwhelmed, because my tools needed a major upgrade, and a great deal of them had new toys I knew nothing about. I'm a musician as well, not a trained engineer, so you see new tools but don't always have a common frame of reference. or know how they're applied. with the all access pass, I can look at the use of the tool in the recording environment, and get specific uses, and tips. I'm learning new skills that are bringing all of my old tools to life too, with new knowledge of what they can be used for. I have spent hour after hour in the past on google, you tube, etc. trying to find information, on getting a certain sound or effect, the approach with learning the effect of each tool is much more profitable, and I LEARN what the tools can do, leavening me choices I didn't even know I had before!. I spend more time creating, and less time experimenting with unknown parameters, now when I experiment, I know exactly how I'm affecting the sound, I've learned more in just a week, than I have been able to scrape up over the years, and I put countless hours into it. I have the knowledge, to go with the tools now. and that makes the tools 1000% more useful. finding it hard to see how I got by without it really. and there's info on my DAW's instruments, VSTs, effects, updates, from several manufacturers, all in one place. I feel like I've gone back to school, but only have to learn the specific tasks I want to use, making it a pressure free experience, a pleasure not a task. I recommend groove 3 to anyone who wants to take their sound to the world class level.

Nice overview which includes coverage of ideas for how to use it.

These courses are excellent.

Phenomenal course, i've had this synth for a while and really wanted to learn everything about it, this course helped me do it. Really easy to understand and really well spoken by the person narrating it. If you want to learn about this synth i strongly vouch for this course :)

I have been through numerous mixing courses from multiple sites and I'm sad to say that this one just does not measure up to others. I really like Groove 3 and this author, but I will not go any further on this tutorial after the mixing of the Strings section. I know these things are subjective, but the samples used are not great and the mix sounds flat. The narrowing of the stereo field on the string parts is not very realistic, since the instruments emanate out into the space. They do not sound almost completely to one side. The final straw for me was the boost on the strings bus around 2.5k where this is an absolute known zone for "harshness" on many string samples. If you do a big boost like this on many of the sample libraries, your strings will most likely come out incredibly harsh and unrealistic sounding. I always have great hope to pick things up off of groove 3 videos, but I can't continue on with this one.

Good structure and content!

This tuturial is really helpful for people who are starting out with composing with sampled orchestral VI’s. It touches on how sampled instruments typically work and shows quite a lot of good examples of how to arrange and orchestrate.

It is particularly nice if you happen to own any of the Chris Hein Orchestral libraries, because it might give you new insights into these samples (and an extra inspiration to try and master them / spend more time on getting the MIDI expression lanes “just right”).

I have to say I really enjoy Eli - nice presentation style, great narration, nice voice - and obviously a very knowledgeable person. I am definitely tempted to check more courses where this man has been involved!

Excellent detail

Outstanding! You get the whole concept and a pretty in depth explanation of how these plugins work all together in the making and finishing of a song. Didn't know Captain plugins were so powerful, or even how to use them properly. I'm ready to build my first beat using this simple, yet very powerful method.

I learned more in this single video about Melodyne's capabilities than an hour long course I took from a 'master class.' IN JUST 12 MINUTES I FEEL LIKE I KNOW MY WAY AROUND EVERYTHING!! Thank yo so much.

This is a very useful site to find quick references to questions I have about various products,
