Must watch
I can't believe ANY Pro Tool user will not find some useful tip in here, but if you've got any gaps in your pro Tools facility, at under 2 hours this is a must watch. I'll be watching it again for sure. The explanation of the elastic audio is first rate, and the tips on fades using the keyboard will be the only way I work!

Information is good but videos could use some help.
I'm an experienced Pro Tools user but there is always something I didn't know, had forgotten, or a different approach to learn. This one was no exception. However, there is one thing I feel would help a great deal. When talking about a keyboard shortcut, the keystrokes should be displayed on screen. A visual aid should also be used for the cursor. So your eye is drawn to it immediately. Other than that, good explanations and good examples.
