My good friend Joe Gilder of Home Studio Corner has just announced his first Video Tutorial Series: Understanding Pro Tools.
I watched the series yesterday and they are excellent, similar quality to Groove3 or MacPro video, and so much better than the tutorials provided by AVID. This is 3+ hours of all new content, created specifically for this series.
