By Eric Perales on 11/17/2020

This course is great. Its in depth but simple enough to follow!

By Bart Hipp on 6/6/2020

I keep going back to this to go over the little tips, tricks, and time-saving advice given throughout the course. Even the things that aren't explicitly taught are huge time-savers.

Yes it truly is.

By Raffaele Ciavarella on 2/8/2019

It doesnt go in deep of the subjects addressed

By Devin Jergentz on 11/2/2018

The step by step instructions are extremely easy to follow and comprehend for me. I'm not familiar with pro tools, but David knows how to break details down for inexperienced users well.

Explanations are clear and directions are step by step.

This course is very good; however, it is missing completing a full beat (3 to 4 minutes long), step by step, from start to finish, using all or the most relevant techniques that beat-makers use or are currently using. At the end of the course, we want to have a full beat using all the techniques learned.
