Some great pointers here
Very happy with this. Exactly what I was looking to get out of the course in getting an orchestral template together. While my DAW is FL Studio it was easy to follow the well explained steps.

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.

So Excited. An advanced Tutorial to demonstrate VEPro6. The teacher's detailed knowledge about CBase as well as Logic and that trick of using scrips is impressive. But no word mentioned about Pro Tools that in 2018.3 improved their midi abilities? I felt a lack of musicianship especially when talks about woodwinds...and no comments about the tricks to using score editors or perhaps integrate this with Sibelius would have been a nice addition. I wish some words about controllers and how they are used by the pro composers i this mock orchestra? A MUST HAVE CLASS thank you Groove 3 for expanding on this creative aspect of our amazing tools.
