Udemy is a great learning resource, as is Groove3. You can usually find interesting courses on Udemy that are a bit more in-depth, and less expensive than Groove3 if they cover your musical education needs. But Groove3 seems to have a broader scope of information and more titles regarding current music software.

They go through periods where most courses are suddenly reduced to $10.00 or $14.99 etc it's worth checking out because if you find a course you really like, even if it costs hundreds, it will probably end up on sale in the next month or so. Looks like they are all on sale at the moment.

I'm a bit of a video tutorial junkie, there are some great courses for just about everything on Udemy for cheap but it pays to run through the preview courses and look at the individual lessons offered before you commit just to see what they are like because some instructors have annoying hard to understand accents or are just bad or the lecturers might not cover what you want.

I've been watching the Hans Zimmer master class. One of the things he says which made me laugh was (I'm paraphrasing) "don't use sample libraries because you'll end up sounding like everyone else".... Says the man who sells sample libraries on Spitfire and co-owns Ujam.

He's just making sure everyone else keeps sounding like everyone else. :)

But is it otherwise any good? I browsed the MasterClass class list and they have some pretty big names there.

I'm guessing he means phrase libraries like Action Strings, and (UJAM's) STRIIIINGs - I'm not sure how many people would hear a sampled E5  note from a legato-strings section and say something like "A-ha! That comes from CineStrings; just like that other piece I heard yesterday - everything sounds the same these days..."

I get the irony though

Nope, he means samplers. At least that's the word he keeps using.

It's pretty amazing value for someone with wide interests (such as me). The price was worth it to hear from greats such as Margaret Atwood and Herbie Hancock alone; but I wouldn't recommend it for beginners or folk looking for how-to classes. It's more like spending a few hours in the presence of amazing people as they occasionally drop golden nuggets of information that no ordinary teacher could ever drop. I mean, Hans Zimmer is not going to tell you how to EQ a vocal or get a good reverb.... but he will tell you what it's like working with Christopher Nolan.

Sounds like it's right up my alley, then. They currently have "two accounts for the price of one" promotion, which I guess one could use to get a two year subscription for themselves...
