Awesome and inspiring musician although not an encouraging teacher

I play chromatic harmonica so I was excited about viewing this. I was really surprised at Toot's review of the student musicians. "You need to practice practice practice and listen listen listen" that was about all he said and he makes it pretty clear that he is disappointed with everyone. They are just kids! They need a little encouragement and some direction. He is the best harmonica player and the worst teacher. But great playing and I think a jazz chorus from him is worth a thousand words.

Definitely a eye opener

Very well explained. Points made were eye openers, especially if you are not a professional mixer. I do most talked about points but the renaming each session/plus printing...really made a lot of sense. Printing instrument/sample tracks prior to daily print session really is a very smart approach.

Mixing with Neutron 5 Explained
Mixing with Neutron 5 Explained

Very good if a little 'finished' sounding at the start already

If this is your introduction to using Neutron in a very hands-on way, this series definitely won’t be sufficient. You’d need to also watch Larry’s Mixing with Neutron 4 to become familiar with hands-on use of the long-established modules.

More generally, I’ve been watching Larry Holcombe's mixing series for four years now, and this series really showcases how he's changed. When EQ-ing sounds, the first thing he used to do was pretty much low-cut and high-cut all or most tracks. Now, "I’m not a massive fan of extreme high-passes". Also, he used to be all about the front-back perspective, but now he says things like, "you can have too much separation". It's a pleasure to witness the evolution :-)

This series is a little misleading, I feel, in that the starting point is a track that is already pretty much mixed-sounding. Neutron is being added for beautification. That's perhaps why Larry starts with moves I haven't seen in his other mixing series - a top-down approach, with stereo-bus processing put on immediately and unmasking the synths from the vocals before we’ve started mixed either. It’s probably also why he seems less committed to his mixing decisions in this one, often saying things like, ‘I don’t mind the sound of that’. It’s like he’s afraid of interfering with a mix that’s already basically there :-)

As always this is an entertaining and informative watch.

A very good overview of the Spiff plug-in. Tom does a great job of explaining all the nuts and bolts.

Creative Mixing with Clipping Explained
Creative Mixing with Clipping Explained

Very good - but a few niggles

I enjoyed this course, but there were a few things that really should have been mentioned in a course on clipping. First, I don't think Tom actually explains what the difference is between hard and soft clipping - his approach is almost always to soft-clip, but without a clear explanation of what the differences are, it feels a bit random. Second, there is a constant focus on what's happening to the peaks of the audio when clipping, but nothing is said about the RMS energy and the dangers of clipping when it comes to raising the overall level of the track later. Particularly with bass frequencies, I really feel he should explain that you need to be careful with bringing the peaks too close the RMS in case of audible distortion if then raising the volume after clipping. The other - slightly irritating - thing is the over-use of adverbs: 'much more balanced’ rather than ‘balanced', ‘super powerful' instead of 'powerful'. It just feels like he's over-selling the differences between clipped and un-clipped audio at times, which I find distracting. This might just be a pet peeve, but it becomes a little hard to listen to when all these superlatives are being used so frequently.

I did enjoy the series, though! There are a lot of fantastic ideas here, and I like the way he divides the course, starting with more specific uses and moving towards more general ones. Tom's an excellent educator.

Cubase 13 Explained

Finally a one shoe fits all place to study Cubase!

I bought the Cubase 13 bundle and have not been disappointed so far. It's explained in a gentle, concise manner, and I'm using the video tutorials on a second monitor while I work on an open file to better understand in real-time.

The screen is clear, the gentlemen's voice is paced nicely, and in the first collection, 'Cubase 13 Explained,' I've already learned more than I knew in twenty years of working with this DAW.
Studio costs for mixing and mastering are too high for a home recording artist (and pensioner) like myself, so I've finally decided at my ripe old age of sixty-six to try my hardest to learn this complex software properly to do my songs more justice. To that end, Groove3 scored a well-earned 5 Stars, and never have I been this "confident" of getting a decent mix from home that doesn’t disappoint me when I hear my song being played on the local radio.

Thank you to all concerned. Your diligence and expertise in the Cubase bundle certainly leave me with no doubt that when I require Ozone mixing and mastering, I'll be served equally well.
Thank you again, and long may you prosper!

Good value offer to explore over an extended period

I generally prefer to purchase individual courses that I want to retain permanently, but the current All-Access Pass offer with Groove3 gives me the opportunity to explore a wider range of subjects over an extended period without being under pressure. Anything broader than the above statement is what I've drawn from the Groove 3 courses I've already downloaded and found to be both helpful and well-presented. Occasionally things move a little too fast, but you can always stop the player and step back to what you need to see again. I was thrilled to herar that Groove 3 has a Roku app - but disappointed to find when I explored this that it's not a certified Roku app and so can't be fully relied upon. Hope Groove 3 will produce a certified app soon.

Ableton Live 12 Explained

Excellent information

I like the small chapters, and the way topics/items are explained. Then I, Alt Tab to my Ableton 12 to try out this hot keys, topics/items.

The only improvement I would make is for the instructor to increase the size of his mouse pointer, as well as a verbal clue as to where the instructor is going to move the mouse next, ie, upper right, lower left..

My vision is not great, so most of the time, I lose, where the mouse pointer went, when the instructor, says, "click here to do this." I then move the video back, and pause it many times, to hopefully see where the mouse is going. So far, that has worked.

The instructor knows where he is going to move the mouse, but I don't have a clue. So, additionally, to a larger mouse cursor, it would be helpful, for the instructor to say he is going upper right, lower left, etc, to forces the students attention to that part of the screen, to find the new location of the mouse pointer.

Excellent Introduction to this Synth!!

I'll gladly be the first to review this series on this amazing synth taught by a knowledgeable and capable instructor. He goes over every parameter, knob, button, bell and whistle with examples of how each affects the sound.

To be clear this isn't a course that teaches the principles of sound synthesis to beginners. Though you do get a fair bit of that, it's a course that teaches people already somewhat familiar with sound design how to operate and maximize their efficiency when using "Obsession" specifically. They also add a few sound design demonstrations to round off the package.

I love all of Kenny's videos, they never fail to impress. I am a singer, songwriter, musician and producer but my goal is to improve my computer production skills since I no longer wish to use outside studios. I usually play and sing everything myself and never realized how powerful using samples in this way can because I never seen it done 1st hand. Kenny showed us a definitive work flow whether you're incorporating some of them or doing an entire sample project. I thought her version was very nice but when he said he was going to do a club version with the vocal she submitted I had to watch. His conversion was simply mind blowing. This demonstrates to me just how powerful computer production can be when you understand your tools and can achieve that polished sound. Thanks for that Kenny.

Synclavier is so different than pretty much any other synth in history, that I really was hoping to learn more about the strategies and approaches to sound design with it that truly leverage it's unique architecture and features. The few sound-specific videos were fine, although none of them really created a sound I would want to use. But I'm still left wondering what the real range and possibilities are, beyond just going through the presets which I've already done, and which also aren't that useable in many cases.
