Good intro to building a template, lacking in comprehensive industry practices
As a user of Ableton Live and Native Instruments Komplete, this made me feel alienated. Despite this, by the end of the training I was able to walk away with usable advice that I employed and was grateful for. However, I felt the trainer spent too much time on specific tools and not enough time on general concepts, like how to EQ, compress, and mix the elements of a cinematic composition. I liked this training and I think it had value, but it wasn’t nearly as satisfying as simply purchasing a professional cinematic template for my Ableton DAW and learning from the structure and principles of a mixing engineer.

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.
