I found itI found how interesting at the approach the pros can turn a passable mix though into an open dynamic mix. Very well done.
My only criticism of Groove 3 tutorial versus some competitors is Two-Fold 1. Quality of “Video Resolution”. Should be at least 1080P 2. No “Stems” to apply what the tutors are teaching to see if you are getting near the projection of the mix that the tutors want you the listener or student want achieve. This of course would only apply in Audio Engineering Tutorials. I feel if Groove 3 were to address these issues I would imagine that Groove 3 would see a rise in subscription and downloads

Response from Customer Service:
Glad you like the tutorial. As far as not offering stems for our material: for most mixing tutorials we do in the Course Extras button on the product pages. In some rare cases (such as this one) there are copyright and or contractual reasons why the stems cannot be offered. But we always encourage everyone to apply the techniques learned to their own projects.
Thanks again!
