Very well narrated.
Very well narrated. I really like his choppy reads, one idea per phrase. It's learning session, not poetry reading. Also, the visuals, zooms and focus are really tight. One small niggle: when demoign the effect of a paramter, it would be helpfull to state, in voice, what kit piece to listen to. Yes yes it's shown in the interface, but it's all too easy to listen to, say the snair, when the demo is modifying the foot, and we're wondering - what changed?

I own this software and this teaching tutorial saved me an enormous amount of time and less experimentation so that i could immediately jump in to record.

Great tutorial. Easy digestible.
Gives great insight into what this software can do for you. Doesn't give you practical demonstrations on how Luke Oswald utilizes AD2 in his own projects and how he would mix in drums with other instruments. Maybe that's for another tutorial? :)

Very Helpful in Understanding AD
When I updated Sonar at some point AD2 was included. At this point I was using ezdrummer 2 and loops. This video helped me understand how to make use of the various menu's and adjustments available in AD2. Thanks

Far from advanced.
This video is simply a feature overview with a little bit of how to. You can find the same content for free on YouTube. If you know how to use AD2 then skip this vid and wait for vol 2.

Very nice tut!
Been using AD2 for years now, and this really opened my eyes for the possibilities I didn't know!.. The narrator gets a little repetitive if you watch the whole series in a marathon, but otherwise very good series!
