So far so good . Watched 1st 4 vids. Not sure if worth ot on its own since ik's videos seem to be covering same ground

I think most of Groove3 videos have pretty good info and most are entertaining but I rarely like the value for an individual topic. I like Groove3' all access pass I do the 30 days every once in a while that way I can revue that things I forgot about other things that I own and can listen to the videos for things that I might buy. I like Eli, some of the other guys present good info but their vocals are irritating. Any way that is my opinion.

Probably my best investment in this business is the annual Groove3 pass that usually goes on sale a couple times per year. I can watch or review anything any time.

The annual pass is well worth it. i agree that Eli is very easy to listen to and I have learned a couple of things not in the IK videos so far.

My BEST instructive purchase has been the .99 AskVideo trial membership...

I've completely 15 courses, over 300 video's, and still have 10 days to go...

LOL I'm struggling through a Groove3 course at the minute with an instructor who has a very distracting lilt and rhythm to his voice which I'm sorry to say gets on my nerves a bit...no names though! I agree Eli is the best, he has a very clear and soothing voice which is ideal for video instruction. 

Sharke, I'm pretty sure I know who you mean.
 
I do occasionally watch for sales. I've picked up the following:

• Mastering in the Box (Good to refer to once and a while)
• Mastering with Waves (some good info on using their plugs)
• Melodyne (worth the purchase price for sure!)
• Ozone 5 (wish this was more focused like the Mastering items, good to refer to once in awhile)
• Slate VTM (it was cheap)
• T-RackS
• Waves SSL (some good tricks in this)

Otherwise I will pick up the pass occasionally...

1. I've succumbed and ordered SampleTank. Seems there's general and broad acknowledgement it's a good one to have.

2. What put me over the fence was the release of the Groove3 tutorial on it by Eli. These tutorials always accelerate my uptake of the features and capabilities.

3. Eli is great, I have been through more than a dozen of his tutorials. Always helpful. So far the SampleTank tutorial is concise, fast-moving, clear and excellent.

4. I agree there are at least one weak tutorial makers at Groove3. I watched the one focused on Compression and each segment was frustrating and scrambled my head about compression. It's awful to say the least. But other than that one in particular I've always had a great experience learning from Groove3 tutorials. (My suggestion is to avoid their current offering on Compression).

I had high hopes for ST 3...in spite of my dislike of IK's handling of the product line and 
business practices...( and I know most don't believe that...believe what you want)

It was a severe disappointment...it's a Rompler priced like a Sampler...it offers nothing more
then a new interface, 64 bit, and T-Racks effects.  33 Gb of samples...12 Gb of which are from ST 2.5....
the new ones are "ok"...but nothing to write home about or jump up and down about.
NO SCRIPTING...and the vocal samples are HORRENDOUS...let me repeat...HORRENDOUS,
as are some of the others...

If you just want to "Play" and "tweak" samples...it might be what you're looking for...but to be in the price
range that it is....Kontakt Player is a far better alternative...and $350 cheaper retail...being FREE,
and, for $50 more retail, you can get Kontakt...which is 100 times the product that has been released
as SampleTank 3.

I really don't think that having the "effects" built into the product is an incentive.  More of a detriment
to IK...but that's just me.  The new interface IS an improvement.  64 bit was long overdue.
BUT, for the asking price...it's a failure IMO...

Ok...you can throw rocks now...
