Not a lesson

The videos are too short. Tony was kind of just sharing and showing the grooves. There is no lesson or a step by step “how to”.

Excellent video on drum fundamentals.

Finally, someone is teaching the fundamentals of bass drum and hi-hat separately. These are the most important fundamentals to understand. I wish that I had seen this when I began playing drums. One week of practicing these studies, will improve your drumming 100%. Video quality and production are excellent! Thanks to Michael and crew.

Just What I Needed

Falcon is an exceptionally comprehensive VST. I write mostly for acoustic instrumentals. Falcon allows me to craft the perfect instrument and instantly recall it for the next project(s) and make minor adjustments, if necessary, in record time. My approach is spending time crafting the best sound I can going into a song to get the best sound out. Falcon allows me to craft that sound on the way in, providing both inspiration and efficiency in mixing. This tutorial gave me the knowledge base to may my process efficient and recallable.

Great course

Easy to follow and good explanation on the sampling process of the maschine software and (in this course the MK2)hardware but easy to translate to the MK3 hardware as to the new Maschine 3 software

Very helful introduction to CS12

Very helpful introduction to CS12. As always, Eli is very clear in explaining and provides a lot of useful tips.

Excellent explanations of gating, compression, and filtering

Really good explanations here. It feels like, at this point in his groove3 career, Larry is so familiar with explaining key mixing concepts that he's really able to make it clear, direct and concise. I'm not sure why this series exists, however; Eli has already done a series that introduces this plug-in, and this is another series introducing the plug-in? I mean, it's great if you own the plug-in because you get two perspectives on it, but I'm not sure I've seen groove3 do two 'explained' series on the exact same plug-in before. For what it's worth, they're both great, but I find Larry's explanation of gating clearer, at least for me.

neilgilmartin

Excellent

I remember reviewing Eli's overview of Logic Pro 10.8, the update that first introduced Beat Breaker. While I made the point then that the overview is great, I also said that the examples used to introduce Beat Breaker specifically were a bit messy and rushed - which was fine, given that the purpose was just to introduce. In this series, however, Eli does a great job of really selling the plug-in. An extremely fun, versatile, and powerful tool that Logic has given users for free. It's easy to under-appreciate it for precisely this reason: being free somehow suggests not-quite-as-good. But that's simply not the case, just as that isn't the case for Step FX, Phat FX, Tape Delay, Space Designer, or any other number of included plug-ins. Thanks, Eli, for the inspiring ideas.

neilgilmartin

Very helpful

Great overview of the mixing process and, as ever, great delivery from Larry. For me, this was a way of reviewing before getting back into mixing, and it was very helpful. Some great ideas from Larry that were well worth re-visiting (using ER rather than reverb in some cases; compressing the stereo bus and sending mostly wet to the mids, mostly dry to the sides; creating various busses and sending signals from one bus to another bus...) A decent tune as well, which helps whenever doing a mixing series as you inevitably hear snippets of the song repeatedly.

Very Helpful

Living in an area where there are not too many Studio One Users, any information I can access to learn about S1-Pro7 before I purchase the upgrade from Studio One V6, is very helpful. The Groove 3 videos are very clear and cover points of interest that I wouldn't have access to otherwise. This video and others that I have also purchased covering Studio One V6 have been invaluable to me, and review them often to pick up the finer points about the programe. Excellent Videos.

Watch before buying the Plug-In

I downloaded the demo of Anthology and ended up buying because it was the last day of the sale and started to feel a bit of buyer's remorse. The truth is that it was just a bit too much and the videos really broke everything down into bitesize chunks with great explanations and examples. A lot of training isn't very good these days, this is one of the better ones I've seen in a while.

A lot more excited about my purchase and while I won't need every plug-in here, there were a few that I had written off that definitely made it on the short list to try out.

ashasha3

Very helpful. I'm learning a lot.

I like the course a great deal. The instructor is knowledgeable and the course is well organized. I have one big beef with the course however. The fact that the instructor expects me as a beginning hobbyist to spend $175 for two plugins is absurd.

Very Helpful!

The course gives a solid overview of all the functionality of the Korg Modwave native, as well that it shows how to use this functionality to create sounds from scratch (in increasing difficulty). Very well done! And not the least: there are very few tutorial video's of the Modwave Native, so I was happy to see that Groove3 offered one. Thanks!

Not what it says it is...

You won't "Learn 8 SONGS!" like it says... you just get the solos. I know from other material Troy Stetina is a good teacher, but this is just a money grab...

Lamby

Awesome and inspiring musician although not an encouraging teacher

I play chromatic harmonica so I was excited about viewing this. I was really surprised at Toot's review of the student musicians. "You need to practice practice practice and listen listen listen" that was about all he said and he makes it pretty clear that he is disappointed with everyone. They are just kids! They need a little encouragement and some direction. He is the best harmonica player and the worst teacher. But great playing and I think a jazz chorus from him is worth a thousand words.

rosstones

Professional, Musician, Logic Pro

Definitely a eye opener

Very well explained. Points made were eye openers, especially if you are not a professional mixer. I do most talked about points but the renaming each session/plus printing...really made a lot of sense. Printing instrument/sample tracks prior to daily print session really is a very smart approach. Thanks

Phase Plant made Easy

A steady logical approach to learning the huge number of Phase Plant features. With the right guide you soon realise that the underlying principles of this synth are intuitive and really easy to learn. This is a quick entry into a vast world of sound design.

DM

Very good if a little 'finished' sounding at the start already

If this is your introduction to using Neutron in a very hands-on way, this series definitely won’t be sufficient. You’d need to also watch Larry’s Mixing with Neutron 4 to become familiar with hands-on use of the long-established modules.

More generally, I’ve been watching Larry Holcombe's mixing series for four years now, and this series really showcases how he's changed. When EQ-ing sounds, the first thing he used to do was pretty much low-cut and high-cut all or most tracks. Now, "I’m not a massive fan of extreme high-passes". Also, he used to be all about the front-back perspective, but now he says things like, "you can have too much separation". It's a pleasure to witness the evolution :-)

This series is a little misleading, I feel, in that the starting point is a track that is already pretty much mixed-sounding. Neutron is being added for beautification. That's perhaps why Larry starts with moves I haven't seen in his other mixing series - a top-down approach, with stereo-bus processing put on immediately and unmasking the synths from the vocals before we’ve started mixed either. It’s probably also why he seems less committed to his mixing decisions in this one, often saying things like, ‘I don’t mind the sound of that’. It’s like he’s afraid of interfering with a mix that’s already basically there :-)

As always this is an entertaining and informative watch.

Outstanding Tutorial for the Amek 9099

Eli is such a good instructor. This series only took an hour but it demystified the bx_Console Amek 9099 for me. Eli breaks it down by section and explains its purpose, examples of changes and then puts it all together at the end. Well done.

imadrummin

Good Series

Very helpful, but could be much better,. So many options not covered or at least mentioned. To be fair, there is so many new features in the Wavelab Pro 12 update, it would be very hard to cover everything in a two hour series.

SonicDiscovery

Wavelab 11 Podcasting (5 Stars)

Great video series if you are doing a podcast. If you are mastering this is not the video series to get. The audio connections video does not go into the external effect and does not do an example for mastering an album.

Thomas Nussbaum

A great overview of Spiff

A very good overview of the Spiff plug-in. Tom does a great job of explaining all the nuts and bolts. I felt that sometimes we could have been given more time to just listen to / hear the differences when A/Bing; sometimes, Tom was perhaps too keen to 'tell us' what we're supposed to be hearing rather than allowing us to form our own judgements first. Still, I really enjoyed this series. Thanks, Tom!

neilgilmartin

So much info, so little time...

This is my second viewing of these 73 videos. Each video is so chocked full of info, it's difficult for me to remember it all. I do go back from time to time to refresh my memory regarding a subject, but got to the point where I really needed to go over the whole shebang again. I equate it to reading War and Peace, and then trying to remember what was written on page 317. Heck, I may have to go back and watch a 3rd time at some point...

another perfectly explained course by Eli. I can't stress enough how good he is at explaining things, perfect

CristianoLeone

Semi-Pro, Producer, Sound Designer, Sound for Film/TV, Logic Pro

Where is the sound design?

This is a very basic overview of writing for TV, film and games and trailer music but there is no sound design here. It is just using libraries and adding some EQ, reverb, delay etc. You are not designing your own sounds.

Gramski

Larry is the man

An excellent overview of this exciting plug-in. Some excellent ideas provided for Bloom-in-use in the final video of this series. I already own Gulfoss, which is a fantastic plug-in intended for roughly similar uses, but Bloom brings with it mid-side functionality and more user-control, so it's definitely of interest. oeksound, fingers crossed, will have a sale within a few weeks...

CristianoLeone

Very Useful

It's very good course, I recommend it for all level music producers!

AlexNZ

Beginner, Producer, Cubase

Very good - but a few niggles

I enjoyed this course, but there were a few things that really should have been mentioned in a course on clipping. First, I don't think Tom actually explains what the difference is between hard and soft clipping - his approach is almost always to soft-clip, but without a clear explanation of what the differences are, it feels a bit random. Second, there is a constant focus on what's happening to the peaks of the audio when clipping, but nothing is said about the RMS energy and the dangers of clipping when it comes to raising the overall level of the track later. Particularly with bass frequencies, I really feel he should explain that you need to be careful with bringing the peaks too close the RMS in case of audible distortion if then raising the volume after clipping. The other - slightly irritating - thing is the over-use of adverbs: 'much more balanced’ rather than ‘balanced', ‘super powerful' instead of 'powerful'. It just feels like he's over-selling the differences between clipped and un-clipped audio at times, which I find distracting. This might just be a pet peeve, but it becomes a little hard to listen to when all these superlatives are being used so frequently.

I did enjoy the series, though! There are a lot of fantastic ideas here, and I like the way he divides the course, starting with more specific uses and moving towards more general ones. Tom's an excellent educator.

Finally a one shoe fits all place to study Cubase!

I bought the Cubase 13 bundle and have not been disappointed so far. It's explained in a gentle, concise manner, and I'm using the video tutorials on a second monitor while I work on an open file to better understand in real-time.

The screen is clear, the gentlemen's voice is paced nicely, and in the first collection, 'Cubase 13 Explained,' I've already learned more than I knew in twenty years of working with this DAW.
Studio costs for mixing and mastering are too high for a home recording artist (and pensioner) like myself, so I've finally decided at my ripe old age of sixty-six to try my hardest to learn this complex software properly to do my songs more justice. To that end, Groove3 scored a well-earned 5 Stars, and never have I been this "confident" of getting a decent mix from home that doesn’t disappoint me when I hear my song being played on the local radio.

Thank you to all concerned. Your diligence and expertise in the Cubase bundle certainly leave me with no doubt that when I require Ozone mixing and mastering, I'll be served equally well.
Thank you again, and long may you prosper!

Sincerely Yours

Good value offer to explore over an extended period

I generally prefer to purchase individual courses that I want to retain permanently, but the current All-Access Pass offer with Groove3 gives me the opportunity to explore a wider range of subjects over an extended period without being under pressure. Anything broader than the above statement is what I've drawn from the Groove 3 courses I've already downloaded and found to be both helpful and well-presented. Occasionally things move a little too fast, but you can always stop the player and step back to what you need to see again. I was thrilled to herar that Groove 3 has a Roku app - but disappointed to find when I explored this that it's not a certified Roku app and so can't be fully relied upon. Hope Groove 3 will produce a certified app soon.

OHKAY for rank beginners, but...if you're not a rank beginner, don't buy

I mean, overall it's always interesting to watch someone else's process, but a) there was no reason to see all of the experimentation and it felt like Laurence was going back over things he did to fix what he did, and b) the changes he made were so subtle, I didn't see the point in mixing it in the first place. Other than the slight mastering at the end, it really felt like he didn't do much.
