It goes straight to the point, very clear explaination and great examples to help you understand what he's talking about, I honestly enjoyed it!

I wish I had these videos when I was first starting out. I remember thinking, 'what are all these three letter acronyms on a synth?!' They are short and very clear...you can watch them all in one go.

One of the best Synthesis 101 courses!

This is such a good - and thankfully brief! - introduction to the intimidating terminology of synthesizers. If you have a DAW and feel confused when using synth plug-ins because of terms like LFO, Oscillator, ARSD, and Envelope, then this is the course for you. The tutor is fantastic. His use of simple illustrations really helps you understand much quicker. Just be aware that you will need to re-watch many of these videos because it's very hard to get the full meaning in just one viewing. This is not a reflection on the tutor, however: he could not speak more clearly. I think some of the videos must have been recorded when he had a cold, because I thought it was a different guy speaking in some!
