One of the best tutorials I ever took!
This one's simply brilliant! Super well organised and perfectly paced, brief but jam-packed with all the important info and presented clearly with illustrative audio examples. Reason is often viewed as a pretty backwards, limited and complex DAW but Paul shows that it's actually very well thought out and focused / distilled to provide just the right tool-set to get the job done. One of the best tutors I came accross here or elsewhere!!! Frankly, Reason Studios should buy the rights to this tutorial and have it added to Reason and posted on their YT channel, because it'd sell lots of copies of the DAW :) P.S. I only rated quality of video at 4 because of Reason's inherent low-res GUI that doesn't lend itself well to zooming. That's not on Paul or Groove3's video player!

As I said in my title, this tutorial is very thorough despite being an introduction to Reason. A lot of introductory tutorials cover their subjects in a very surface level manner, but not here. Hell, I even learned some general stuff about mixing along the way. Awesome, awesome stuff.
