hAVEN'T TAKEN IT YET.
Just getting started and it already is full of great information. I have read the manual but these focused videos have revealed functionality I was unaware existed.
I was looking for a tutorial to understand deeply the QU32, David just did it great and easy, I full recommend this course…Congrats
David, let me be the first to say that this course is awesome and well put together just as all your other courses. I’m a big fan of your courses. Every since I purchase my Qu-32 I’ve been all over the internet and YouTube gathering information to learn audio engineering and the Qu mixer better. Your course brings it all together in one awesome and neat package of knowledge and theory. This course has it all and is super easy to follow and hone my skills in my home studio. I have now purchased eight different courses from you and I have definitely benefited from all of them and I’m a better engineer. The material is clear, concise and easy to follow. I definitely recommend this course to anyone that needs to get up to speed on the Qu mixers. Many thanks to you for making me a more knowledgeable and better engineer.
