My Experience
I've been working in new media such as music and sound for TV and online games for the last 15 years. In these years I've worked through a multitude of different audio software, and through this found a passion for teaching how to use the different type of audio software that is available on the market.

well explained on how to beak a sample down into smaller samples to create your own drum pattern.

Clear instruction about a topic I didn't know much about. Instruction went slowly and with enough details and examples (but not too many) to make sure I understood the material. Great job!

Another great course from Gary. I really enjoy short courses that quickly go over the material and let you explore what you've learned.
By Jim Hart on 8/25/2020
I was already familiar with these general topics but wanted to see them in use with Studio One. Gary does a great job with the pacing of the lessons
By Anthony Philip Jones on 6/6/2020
Really enjoyed this course and I can see myself returning to the materials many times in the future
By Martin Herz on 5/11/2020
Informative, nice pace, good buildup, quite satisfying to watch. Love the layered approach of the lessons!
By Shea Tanner on 4/3/2020
Most of this I have already learned from YouTube videos, but not specifically the instruments in StudioOne. Altogether a good intro course for novices to synths, but I was hoping for more "meat."
By Keith Plambeck on 3/27/2020
The course was great, however I'm quite a newbie to Studio One and I'll be rewatching this course multiple times as I get more familiar with the overwhelming amount of things to learn about Studio One. This is definitely a long term commitment to get a solid understanding of how to use Studio One, but if you dedicated your life to creating your own music, then being able to record your own music at a high level is a must know. Thank you Gary and I look forward to enrolling in your other Studio One courses!

I learned a few more tricks on Studio One and I hope to see updates to this so I can get better with synthesis on Mai Tai.
By Andreas Söderlund on 3/12/2020
It goes through the basics but without any practice material. It also feels a bit short. The other courses are much more comprehensive.
