Nicely Done
This tutorial was really helpful, and very well done. Well worth the money. This DAW is not very intuitive for me, but I like the sound better than the Cubase I’ve been using. My only problem is that I have the 32C version, and I can’t figure out how to get it to recognize my VSTs. I know there is a function for this but I can’t find it, and the manual is not helpful. It would be nice to have a 32C version.

Very useful
Whilst with most video lessons, it does spend some time on the basics. However, I learned more than I knew. Very good value, in depth and yet easy to understand. Having learned on digital mixers I found this video series invaluable in getting to grips with the featurs and flexibility of Mixbus 5. Highly recommended. :)

The Best Mixbus5 Tutorial on the Internet
This course is well written, illustrated and presented. I had been trying to find some sort of online learning to help introduce me to the capabilities of Mixbus5, but the varying videos I found were not helpful in painting the bigger picture of what was possible. The format of the videos, in short durations, is very helpful. The presenter also reinforces the concepts by showing you immediately how to accomplish a task/function with actual audio files. As an added bonus, Groove3 has a Roku channel, so you can watch this series on your large television and really be able to see the finer screen details when needed. For only a few dollars, you can get a great introduction to the software and walk away with a good understanding of several topics. Do yourself the favor and watch this series, even if you think you know enough about Mixbus5. It’s time well spent.
