Geared to Logic and Cubase
There are some good suggestions and takeaways, but lots of information is specific to Logic or Cubase, so those of us with other DAWs aren't going to get quite as much out of the series. Still there is value in it, especially if bought as a bundle.
Response from Customer Service:
Although Gary does spend a few videos focusing on Cubase and Logic as those are the DAW's in his studio, the majority of the videos have information and techniques that can be applied across all DAW's including setup, adding VEPro, building instruments, and creating templates.
