This course was helpful to understand the foundation for VOP.
By Hemant Doke on 2/5/2025
Hi, The overall tutorial was okay, but sometimes it felt like the examples could be better. It would also be helpful if there was more explanation about where and how these nodes can be used. I’m not asking for the tutor to show exactly where and how to use them, but it would be better to explain with simple examples while working through the tutorial. Additionally, there were a few instances where the nodes weren’t fully explained, and they were just shown connected without much explanation about their fundamentals, Thank you so much.

This course was really helpful to understand the foundation for VOP for me. I recommend to absolute beginner or to the people who did a few basic VOP courses before. I felt it was too easy at the beginning, but it has great examples especially in the later sections.

So far it's a great course.
By Lucas Silvestre Garcez on 7/9/2024
Pretty good, he definitely knows his way around VOPS. At first i was a little put off because as a not native english speaker it was a little hard for me to understand but in a better sound system things got clearer. The topic is somewhat complex you need to put effort in to actually learn but his teaching is worth it. Subtitles would be very helpful though.
