aidan o driscoll Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 (edited) Hi Guys, Anyone use GROOVE3 for training? At the moment they have an offer for a year sub at $100 instead of $150 Just wondering have others used GROOVE3 and are they worth a punt? I am interested in the ARTURIA training they have ..

Fleer Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 I quite like them. There’s a guy who does most of them that I really appreciate, but I forgot his name. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZincT Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 (edited) Hey Aidan, I use Groove3 a lot (that and Udemy) and they have quite a few Arturia courses. Eli Krantzberg is also one of my favourite instructors (he's also just done a video for EzBass on YouTube). The Arturia ones though seem to be mainly Tyler Coffin...

aidan o driscoll Posted May 22, 2020 Author Share Posted May 22, 2020 I just emailed GROOVE3 to ask about how long the $100 vs $150 per annum deal was going on for AND about taking up the 7 day trial. Then if one likes the trial covert it to the year sub for the $100. I also asked how long the reduced year sub was going on for. Here is the reply I got back for those interested: Quote At the moment we are planning to let it run until the end of the month so you should have time. Also, at any point during your trial you can cancel and then purchase a year. The remaining days will then be added to your new subscription so you don't lose anything.

rcklln Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 Groove3 is very good and they have videos on a wide variety of topics but I never seemed to make the yearly subscription worthwhile. For me it ended up best to buy the videos I wanted (Groove3 or Udemy) while on sale and maybe get a monthly subscription ($15) once or twice a year when I couldn't find what I wanted on youtube. At times I also prefer reading a manual than watch videos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will see after next week whether to do the $15 a month for a few months here and there OR the $100 for a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would have to be considerably less than $100 to make me consider renewing when it expires. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshall Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 Top quality videos. A better investment than a bunch of plugins I’ve bought in the past, that’s for sure. Until a year of so ago I was able to renew at about $70 a year, but I have to admit I cancelled when it went up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vernon Barnes Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 I have all access and it's very good. I don't think I would have ever got to grips with programming the Arturia Synclavier and CMI without it. It's also been very useful for BFD and Superior Drummer. There are also useful tutorials on non software stuff like music theory and instrument playing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reid Rosefelt Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 The trick is to remember to use it now and then. I have a button on my Streamdeck and an icon on the front of my iPad. It's helped me learn about a lot of advanced features I never used on programs like Band-In-A-Box. It's boring to go through an entire manual, but a few quick lessons on special topics have really helped me a lot. Lately I've been taking some Cubase clasess. I used to take classes from MacProVideo (which I think is the same as AskAudio) and I like these a LOT more. Krantzberg gets right to the point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going monthly on an infrequent basis to get caught up on what I needed to know. I keep a list of videos I'm interested in and refer to them when time permits. When I bought the Izotope Music Production Suite it came with an annual subscription, I wouldn't have it otherwise. All said, I'm a fan and have shortened the learning curve on lots of subjects via G3. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArcRex Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 Groove3 is pretty good, but the $100 deal comes around a lot. Occasionally groove3 1yr is bundled with 3rd party releases. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aidan o driscoll Posted May 22, 2020 Author Share Posted May 22, 2020 Well .. I have spent a bit of the avo here going through the ARTURIA DX7 V Explained by Tyler Coffin. Have to say I really like it. Even in that 2 hours I have picked up alot. Really enjoying the lessons where he construct some presets having earlier explained the various parts in the plugin: https://www.groove3.com/tutorials/Arturia-DX7-V-Explained So far so good .. on the 7 day trial 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kal S Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 Also watch out for the download bundles that they put out from time to time. The content in those represents incredible value for the price you have to pay for it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the monthly all-pass sub and it's the only sub I keep. Very worthwhile. One funny thing: I read the post I quoted above and, as I'm not a native English speaker and I'm not familiar with the slang (every now and then it takes me a while to understand some posts here), I thought that "Tyler Coffin" was some expression to mean "outdated" or "abandoned" or something like that. I didn't pay attention to the images. Something like "Debbie Downer" or the like. Edited May 22, 2020 by Sergio 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jesse g Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 I love Groove 3. I think everyone of us knows the name Eli Krantzberg from one tutorial or another. I used to like watching the Mixing videos from Yoad Nevo and Kenny Gioia a lot as well. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morris Band Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 Yes very very good. Easy to learn from and great teachers. I usually subscribe once every couple months. Good variety too. I cant say enough good things lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jesse g Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 (edited) Currently I am trying to get my head wrapped around this N.I. Maschine stuff, so recently had to download several Maschine tutorials since tGroove 3 is having a 33% off sale. I've learned so much by just watching those tutorials and learning about the functionality of the Maschine software and hardware.
