Hi, sharke. Yeah, I try to stay focused but I need lots of breaks. I'm starting to go a little antsy already and it's only been a week of doing the G3 stuff. Gotta learn as much as I can before the month is up though. This current series is turning into a bit of a waste of time. I thought it was going to be a little more concise and cover more general fundamentals but it seems very specific to the track being mixed. More like someone handed the guy a tune to work on and he just turned on the camera to record him working. I've picked up a couple things but it's all pretty scattered for something labeled Mixing 101. Oh well. It was free so I can't complain. Hoping the other mixing vids are a little more helpful.

Cheers.

I really liked the one by Kenny Gioia.

In fact, I had already purchased that before I got Sonar. Actually, I had already purchased SEVERAL of the videos before getting Sonar and my 30 day pass.

I think that's Fast Biker Boy's handiwork. I think I saw him mention there are chapters. Same thing happened with the Anderton vids. Try using QuickTime or something other than Media Player to watch it. Not sure why the newer WMP versions are so stripped down. 

There ARE ways to break up this video?  Man, I hope it works in other players cuz this is pure pain.

Yeah, try it out in QuickTime like I said. That was the fix for the Anderton X1 stuff but I don't own Karl's vids yet. I've watched some of his youtube stuff and I kind of like his dry english style. He just gets to the point. I've been cramming for like a year now so I don't really have the patience for too much piddling around, yanno?

I'm gonna be starting that Mixing Rock series tomorrow myself. Just thought the 101 would be a good way to round out the fundamentals beforehand but it was not what I expected at all. Very specific to the sample song which was not a very standard recording. Quite odd.

Cheers.

Heh, I watch a lot of training videos at double-speed using Windows Media Player.  It doesn't cause the sound to chipmonk, but I don't get bored having to learn at "someone elses" speed.  My ADHD doesn't let me concentrate on one thing for too...  SQUIRREL!!!

Hey Craig, yep I know... My mind starts to drift quick. I had no idea you could watch a video at double speed.  I've never heard of such a thing, now you got me wanting to go home and try it out.

I think you will like it. Of all the videos I've watched and own, he's been my favorite person to listen to.  He uses Pro Tools but it all still applies. 
I have his Reaper stuff as well.  I was using Reaper before purchasing Sonar. 

http://www.videolan.org/vlc/index.html handles videos with chapters.

Beepster, you rawk man!  I opened up that video in iTunes and it showed that I have chapters!!!!! 
AWESOME!  Now I can find what I'm looking for.

SWEEEEEET.
