Great content, slightly misleading title
I don't know if this is my fault or just a misleading title, but this course covers vocals once they've been tracked and need editing/comping/etc. It is all very helpful and wonderful but I guess I was looking for something that covered the recording of the vocals, which to me is where the production starts, and then continues through the editing/comping/etc. Aside from that minor gripe, it takes you on a step-by-step process of figuring out what you've got tracked so far and then figuring out how to make it work in the production. Also, the singer for the track has got a terribly annoying voice and that made it hard to sit through some sections.
Response from Customer Service:
We’re sorry it’s not what you were looking for. After looking into to it, we changed the product description to include mention that the vocals were not shown actually being recorded, but rather the work shown after they were recorded to produce great vocal tracks.
Thanks again!

It looks good
I saw only one video, and I do not understand much English, I watch the screen more. Subtitles will also help with downloading purchased videos. To make better orthopedics, I have to release the video multiple times. I use Google Translator to translate from Czech into English.
