Totally Excellent
Mike Thornton's explanation of Insight is honestly as good as it gets. He is a total expert in post-production audio and his explanation of Insight carries that gravitas. After a few hair-raising experiences with new loudness standards and DCP, I decided to invest in Izotope's wonderful Insight plugin. This video has given me everything I was expecting to approach Loudness levels with confidence.

Very helpful series!
Really easy to understand all of the features of the product. The videos are done in a clear, straightforward manner that really breaks down the different sections of the plug-in and explain each one clearly.

Good overview
This certainly goes over the controls and functions very adequately. Brief tutorials on how to fix problem areas would be a great enhancement to this video.

Great overview!
Fully explained with a fair bit of detail...only piece missing is that I wish there would be updated info and presets for todays loudness standards with Spotify, YouTube etc...but I guess you can make your own preset...well done!

I have been training folk on Pro Tools since it was v2.5. 4 tracks on a good day with a following wind. People say I am patient and can explain techy stuff simply. I am also a media apprenticeship mentor and assessor for a variety of schemes here in Manchester, England where I am based.
