These videos are for new Plugin Boutique Scaler 2 users.

Larry welcomes you and then starts at the beginning showing you the different ways to load the Scaler plug-in and the main areas of the plug-in interface, as well as how to extract chords and scales from MIDI and Audio files so you can use them to generate new, complementary chord progressions.

Very boring

The Scaler 2 training is very easy to follow. The different parts of the software are very well explained. I benefited from taking this training.

I tried to follow the Scaler videos made by the developer but always found myself so bored after 10 minutes. This series Larry made is nearly 3 hours long but it was enjoyable and inspirational.

Great detail and explanations of functionality.

Excellent course but would like to see more on modulation in any future update.

Nothing more to say.

Maybe the series in the middles have to much composing examples and can be a boring to look on.

There are times where this course seems to be without direction. At those points it comes across as simply thinking out loud. "Let's try this" should not be part of a video training course. At least not as much as it has been used here. I want to learn how to use the tool, not learn what the teacher thinks sounds good, or to learn what doesn't work. Everything should be vetted pre-production so as to get to the point. I hope this series gets redone to cut out the abundance of trial and error by the teacher. As it is, it's just okay. If one has the patience it is helpful. I had to give up for now. Just too frustrating to watch. Tons of fat and not nearly as much meet as should be in an 'Instructional Course.' Sorry.

Scaler 2 is not an easy plugin to figure out on your own. Larry's course takes you through every last facet in an easy to understand manner. Each video ends with a quick recap helping to solidify the concepts that were just presented. Highly recommended.
