Thanks for the positive feedback on the new arranging/producing videos! I have to say, I really enjoyed doing this series. And yeah, I love the IK Multimedia and McDSP EQs and compressors! It was nice also, for once, to not have my hands tied using host based effects exclusively :-) If you really like this series and want to see more like it, please let groove3 know.....
 
If any of you are interested, I posted a little article about this series here:

That's where I read about it first, Eli, these contributions to Logic Pro Expert are very helpful. Your tutorials are some of the best in the business, as you have a rare gift to combine clarity with depth. Kudos indeed.

Just watched the full set of EZ keys videos. I still can't get it to do a sus 2 chord though.

I have had EZ Keys Classic Electrics and the electric grand for a while but I have only really started trying to use them. These videos help a lot, but I am going to need more MIDI and I really want to try using my own vamps and arpeggios.

I really like the Singer / Songwriter Production & Arranging video. It's so nice to see certain plugins used in context and then move on to the next thing. I hope to see some more like that one.

Just found out that using EZ Keys MIDI out you can drive another VSTi in Sonar. As I only have the Electric Grand and Electric Classics I found this really useful as I can use any one of the zillion pianos I have in Kontakt to audition the patterns and chords.

Absolutely!!
You can even use it for non-piano parts as well.......EZ Keys is a great compositional tool.

This is how I do my piano parts...

I write them in EZKeys and then use the MIDI to drive one of my other Pianos...
while the EZKeys pianos are "ok", I have much better options...

I like to fire up EZ Keys and use my Fishman TriplePlay. As any guitar player would know you don't have to move all your fingers at once when changing chords. You just have to get your fingers moved before hit the string again. The dealio on EZ Keys that shows what chord you are playing can change several times before you get to the next chord. I really enjoy that and I learn something. And get some different ideas for songs. That puts me in the mood for another Fleer beer tutorial. He should start and on line service and call it Pint3. Edith says: don't encourage him.
