As an after note I actually bought the tutorial from sounds for samplers and its good.
The problems that I have with the dvd is that it doesnt have a chapter list with the titles of the chapters on it so you can easily find what you want. You end up sorta just flippin thru the chapters and watching when you fnd what you want.The good thing here is that the beginning of the chapters is labeled so you jknow what is about to be gone over. I have no idea how long this thing is, it would appear to be very long..
It is descriptive and is good at showing you what to do and how to do it...
My man narrating it tho uses off terms like "Cruiser buttons" when as we know its pronounced "Curser buttons".
Little things like that may throw a newbie off because it happens sorta infrequently throughout.
Overall though from what Ive seen I like it and would recommend it for people who realy cant stand reading the manual and just wish that they had someone to show them how to do it.
The $65 price tag seems a little stiff but it aint bad for a permanent tutor in your dvd player.
You can get started right away with this thing and will be amazed at your 2500's features that may have previously been buried in your manual.It also comes with a bunch of mpc1000 sounds on a seperate dvdrom.
I give it 4 outa 5 stars I guess because it would help to one able to see where to go to skip right where you need to for help...
