Scott Freiman

What a Godsend these tutorials are!!! I've been muddling my way through Kore II for about six months now -- thought I could just figure it out by trial and error. After a lot of trial and an almost equal amount of error, I stumbled upon these tutorials and what a difference it has made! I feel like a have an excellent understanding of the Kore synthesis and now I'm making music like the demo's I hear on the Native Instrument site! Thanks so much!

Great tutorial. This was very thorough and informative. If you're looking to get the most out of Kontakt and are either a new Kontakt user, or even a intermediate user, then this is the video for you.

Stellar. Absolutely the best, most straight forward, get to the point without the hype training I've found. Well paced and extremely informative even if you think you know the basics, believe me, you don't until you've followed this course.

Great Tutorial for Kontakt..Highly recommend

Much needed tutorial for Kontakt... :)

Outstanding tutorial. NI should be ashamed at the terrible manual it provided with Kore 2. Not only is it riddled with mistakes, it is terrible in explaining how to use the product. Freiman's tutorial is spot on and he very clearly takes you through the steps. It's too bad that MacProVideo doesn't do a tutorial on Complete 6. That would be the perfect compliment.

Another great presentation. Every bit as good as 105. Only one issue - the talk track is disproportionately loud, unfortunately. I found myself riding the volume to bring up the audio examples. Other than that - great job!

This was an outstanding presentation, IMHO. And that's from the viewpoint of having given similar technical presentations over several years' time to demanding professionals worldwide. Well-organized and exceptionally well-delivered, this course is very much worth the time and tuition (I purchased the HD and will be reviewing as the need arises). macProVideo would do well to commission a course by Scott that covers just the Orchestral elements of Kontakt, demonstrating how to get the best, mo...

Amazing, so easy to understand, straightforward... Scott does the best tutorials at macprovideo if you ask me, I have some 25 videos. Highly recommended, both this one and Exploring Kontakt! Thanks Scott!

Great pace, very easy to listen to covers a fair amount. I believe there is more to come on this tutorial so I would imagine by the end there will have been a great deal covered. Highly recommend anything that Scott Freiman does!

Hi, guys great videos, also is there any chance that you can make a tutorial on mixing the deep side of it, like mixing orchestral, mixing tips and tricks, etc, like take a whole project and mix it from the beginning to the end for example, also more on busses, sends also real life time examples and THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR A GREAT LESSONS

ok in addition to my last review i am happy to say they have added an additional 22 vidoes to the already 33 i have watched. This is great value and I'd like to give it 5 + stars if they would let me. If you use Kontakt you MUST watch this. Enjoy.

So far very impressed alot of easy to follow yet detailed video tutorials. Highly recommended. The funny thing is this says it isn't available yet but it downloaded with most of the videos and says there are more to come (it shows 33 videos so far) so its going to be interesting to watch the rest as i have already found this great.

I have used Kontakt for some time as plug-in with Logic - I had previously bought the NI DVD on how to use Kontakt so I interested to see whether Scott Freiman's Macrovideo would just cover the same ground I have seen before. I was pleasantly surprised to find that although the tutorial is aimed at inexperienced users, it presented the information with great clarity and included some really practical tips and tricks to significantly improve my workflow. A very useful adjunct to other material yo...

Your courses are very easy to watch and you are up to date with the latest versions of each program Even better if the tutorials was added with a project at the end of the course (with same project files and samples for the exercise) Example 1: Creating a song amd mixing it in Cubas Example 2: Kreating your own Instrument in Kontakt with effects and maybe some added scripts to that Best Regards Jan-Eric Piper

Really cool. I had a session going, and this answered my question in 2 minuets! Saved my behind. Thanks!

Am about half way through. Very thorough and detailed instructions. The only knock so far is that the instructor is using Koresounds in many of the lessons that are not in the basic Kore2 package, leading to some frustration trying to follow along closely. Would suggest that the tutorial stick to the Koresounds that the basic Kore2 package comes with. Some of us can't afford to add the Komplete5 to it yet. (I believe that is where the Koresounds I don't see are coming from???) Other than th...

ABSOLUTELY SUPERWELLDONE. HELPS SO MUCH AND MAKES EVERYTHING LOOK SO EASY. YOU GUYS MADE A VERY VERY GOOD JOB. THANK YOU (i apologize for my english) Andrea

This is such a great introduction to Native Instruments. The individual tutorials aren't all that in-depth, but they give you enough information to make it a lot easier to explore further on your own.

This introduction to Kontakt is well laid out and presented. Scott Freiman presents the information clearly and in an interesting manner. The turorial videos are firmly aimed at the beginner. I look forward to learning the more advanced features of Kontakt in the next release.

105 for Kontakt 4 is what I needed to get up and running efficiently with Kontakt. The information is complete, well organized, and to the point, so when you want to review it again, you don't have to wade through a lot of useless humor, stories, and value judgements. I'm looking forward to the next installment.

An excellent tutorial, very good instructor gives succinct explanations. The audio was missing on a few lessons however this was remedied almost immediately by MacProVideo. Looking forward to the next one.

can't wait. This is my fav sampler / instrument! I hope this covers the new Kontakt 4.

I highly recommend this tutorial. It'll take a while for you to get the best out of Kore 2 using the manual and asking questions on forums. This covers everything in reasonable detail with clear examples. There's a lot in it but it's divided up into many bite-size parts and is well indexed so you can go back and reference any part of the programme. It is well presented, easy to follow, simple to learn and can be to hand when required.

A good introduction to the software and a great way to whet the appetite for the more advanced tutorials. I will definitely buy more. Thanks.

Even though I'm on Komplete 6, this was still incredibly helpful. Just like the Kore 2 tutorial, this was organized well and edited well. Everything included was a great way to get started. Now I just wish that a video on Reaktor 5 would be created (although I'll understand if you wait for R6).

This was a great tutorial and a great reference tool after you've finished watching. This was well organized, well edited and it never dragged. This really helped to gain a quick understanding of what Kore 2 can do!

Excellent Tutorial! Very precise and comprehensive! Scott takes his time like any good teacher and doesn't seem to leave any stone unturned. Thanks Scott!!

It's a good set of tutorials that beats the c*** out of the manual (not uncommon). But I'd rather see the tutor base his examples ENTIRELY on material/patches included with KORE, than pitching extra Soundpacks from NI all the time. Nevertheless: Definitely worthwhile. See it.

I would like to mention that! I found Scott Freiman my favorite narrator of macProvideo's.His is the most proficient,articulated,strategic,organized production flowing instructor.That being said; I wish that he could have used a better choice of musical examples,like his own composition? This video is a must to buy.

This is a very comprehensive and detailed tutorial covering all important (and not so important) features of PT8. It is nicely structured in short units, which makes it easy to pick up where you left off. All in all an excellent job and great buy for the money.

As usual, a great tutorial! On thing only: I would appreciate to be able to dowload the sessions files to devellop my skills with using same material. Thanks! Rene

This is a good video series. Only issue is that they have now released Komplete 6 which has quite a few differences. Also the guy talked about Kore quite a bit and Kore is not in Komplete. I am quite happy with most of it and it is mainly the fact that Komplete has been updated that downgrades this to 3 stars

The Kore video series is very well structured. It not only shows you what functions there are in Kore but also gives real world examples how to combine basic elements to create more complex sounds and neat ideas you can use when working with Kore. Excellent videos!

Great for a quick and useful overview. Anxiously awaiting part 2 updated for Komplete 6 (Guitar Rig 4, Absynth 5, Kontakt 4) and with a bit more depth into the others. And a Reaktor TNT and Kontakt 4 focused tutorials would be extremely helpful.

These are great tutorials - even the basic stuff which I was familiar with are well worth watching. I've got much deeper into Kore now and getting far more from it. Great stuff!

I've always wanted to learn Beat detective. This tutorial got me up and running in no time. Thank you.

An excellent basic to intermediate tour of Komplete 5, with tie-ins to Kore. Not that this video takes the place of the manuals, but it sure makes things easier to understand when you can see where to click and hear what resulted. Scott Frieman is a very good presenter. Hope there are advanced tutorials offered in the future.

Scott Freiman is is an exceptional orator and a extremely gifted intelligent teacher.His tutorial was overwhelming with information on Kore 2.This video is to good to be true.`Get it`.

Really good tutorial.

I really appreciated ( and still do) rhe tutorials...The units are short, clear and easy to follow. You can follow you own pace....some exercices are for more advanced learners and some for beginners like me,,,Totorials will be very helpful in the monts to come.

Awesome tutorial. Presented in a clear, concise and straight forward manner.

This is the first tutorial I have seen for le 8. I think it is excellent.

This tutorials is asum, how to get started with NI Komplete. I hope that you guys release the second tutorial.

Great tutorial. Good overview of PT 8

Firstly, I'm still working through this tutorial so this review is very much a 'first impressions'. I am only writing it becasue these first impressions are often accurate. I'll get the bad news over first. This refers only to the sound examples I've heard (esp. sequencer and MIDI file lessons). These sound to me to be raqther unpleasant and more 'noise' than that which I regard as music. To me 'glitch' is a lazy person's music and has little artistic merit. I realise of course that younger e...

Very informative and useful,as are all the tutorials I've bought.My one criticism is the bias towards loops rather than freely played audio.I would like to see more on using elastic audio to correct freely played songs that are not played to a click, and how one could use elastic audio for tightening up performances.But overall very good!

Very helpfull! Nice Job Macprovideo!!!

I just loved it!!

First i like to say i'am happy that macprovideo did a video on kore now i understand how kore woks. the video is great if anyone has kore or kore 2. i had kore for a month did not use it as much but since i downloaded the kore video. kore is now my main instrument of choice. great job scott hope you do a part 2.

The best part about the videos from macprovideo.com is that you are often taken into places in the software that you would not have explored on your own. The tutorials are comprehensive and inspire creativity as you learn new uses for the tools you own but otherwise wouldn't have fully understood how to use.

This course was very useful for me. I never understood Beat Detective and this course explained all the fine details. I would have never thought of some of the techniques presented on my own. It truly showed me how powerful Beat Detective really is.

Great introduction to Pro Tools 8. Very clear explanations on all the new features.

great video learn a lot . looking to more like this in future

As a pro tools user,i have struggled with learning most of the finer points of the programme,as i am self taught.I personally,find it so much better,to see a hands on approach to my learning,and both the tutorials have been so valuable to me.Thankyou.Michael Gilbourne

I like the video's very much.

Hi there, I watched the video tutorials several times now and it's really so helpful that it makes working with elastic audio within Pro Tools so much more easier for me. What I really like is that it's chopped up in many items (42 in thi case) and if I only want to know something about 1 thing I can quickly navigate to that section and watch it again. The pace of teaching is good (no quick talker) and also the quality of the vids are OK. So a big thumb up from me. Cheeers Hans

I'd love to see a tutorial of de plug-inns (like melodyne, boom boom, bdexpansion and so on. Your tutorials are very good.

Just what I needed! I recently began using KORE and KOMPLETE 5. I Have the tutorials for both and I am very pleased with how easy they are to follow and how well thought out they are.

Fantastic tutorial. Very well put together.

The tutorial by Scott Freiman was definitively worth the money. Five stars from me.

Thank you MacProVideo for producing a great tutorial on Native Instruments KORE 2. This tutorial is enjoyable to watch and learn from because of the calm and intuitive manor that you've used to show and explain things. I've learned a lot from watching this and I'm sure I'll watch it again and again. For anyone interested in KORE 2 I highly recommend MacProVideo's tutorial.

I teach audio editing at our local college, and always check out Scott's tutorials for all of the little tips and details that I didn't even realize were available, especially with the release of PT8. Looking forward to your tutorial on Elastic Audio!

great tutorial!!!

Excellent tutorial. Top notch.

I think it's very informative and thorough. Thank you so much and big ups to, Scott Freiman. Charles

Very informative. Covers a great deal of practical workings of Beat Detective.

Great tutorials. I had to download it twice. That is the only compliant.

Being an instructor myself I highly recommend anything that Scott is tutoring. Great examples and very thorough. A must for any Protool user.

Thank you so much for the great material for improving my skills as an artist and producer. Now all I need is more time, Thanks again for the great tutorials and educational tools. Tunefarmer.

I downloaded the complete set and all available for Pro Tools 8 and Final Cut Pro, and I am still getting through them, but already I feel much more informed as to what I can do. Very informative and revealing. Only problem is I'm running out of popcorn and coke.

Great stuff, covers all the basics and after this you're ready to go... Now waiting for full tutorials on how to work with Maschine and Kontakt 3!

This tutorial series is the best way to get the most out of Kore. The tutes are professional, well presented and cover the most interesting aspects of the software. First class!

Yes It was ideal for the starter. I would like to see more videos on the tricks of Pro Tools. Eg using Beat Detective using plug-ins when to put reverb or delays or filters on things. Be on the basics.

Tutorial is great as always... Very informative and easy to understand!! Get's you up and running in no time!! Thanks

The Best - Excellent Komplete…

I really like the videos. I have learned so much from them. The only thing that I would add is a session to download. This way I can do what he does on the video. I know I can record my own tracks and do what he does, but it would be a little easier to use something already prepared. These are the best training videos I have found. Thank you very much.

I love the video,but how do you put it on to DVD?

Hello. I've gone through a little over half of this tutorial, and it really is well organized, and well presented! Since I'm relatively a newer user of Pro Tools (8), I'm finding this tutorial is cleaning up a lot of the more fundamental operations, in addition to taking a good look into the features of PT that I haven't even used yet. Excellent!

This tutorial is the best I have ever watched! If you're totally new to Pro Tools, or even if you are a pro, this is useful! I have used Pro Tools a lot for over 6 months now, and learned some great tips and tricks, that have made the Pro Tools experience a lot better. This is just great - especially at that price!

A very useful overview of all the basic elements of setting up audio and midi for recording and then mixing the finished product in Pro Tools. Very well paced, great presentation skills and very easy to follow. Highly recommended for anyone new to Pro-Tools and/or new to using a DAW

One of the best tutorials of Pro Tools I have ever seen.

I usually buy massive textbooks to learn software. Having never used Pro Tools at all before, I decided to delve into Scott's videos. These are absolutely amazing, and are segmented into easy-to-access chapters. There's so much you can do with Pro Tools 8, and Scott succinctly highlights it all, no matter what level you're at.

Pro Tools 8 101 was a very nice tutorial, though, for me, way too much time spent on the basics of Pro Tools. I was hoping for more info on the new features of Pro Tools 8.

Brilliant presentation (done with Apple's Keynote) on this one using very clear graphic slides in the beginning to explain certain flows and topics. One of the best so far. Good pratical instruction and focussing on key shortcuts where to power is when using a DAW. Great work!

There have always been areas of Native Instruments'... "instruments" that I'd dare not tackle, bececause it seemed daunting to me. The NI 102: NI Komplete tutorial has opened the door to allow me to dig deeper, and get more out of this powerful collection. I definitely dig that! These Instruments/Effects are deep enough to have an entire tutorial dedicated to them indiviually, but there's more than enough here to get you going.

Great job Scott. I especially enjoyed the lessons on all the keystrokes and navigating. Sometimes, it's the small things that mean the most.

I haven't even finished this tutorial and I can already say its been truly helpful. The first look at Pro Tools 8 was kind of intimidating for me but after a couple of afternoons going through these videos I feel like I actually know the program. I think this website is just great, makes me feel a little less useless I must say.

This was an excellent introduction to ProTools 8. Scott has a wonderful teaching style and is pleasant to listen to. He is obviously very knowledgeable. The material is laid out in a very organized fashion. It seems well distributed although the midi editing section started getting long. Of course, to a MIDI-phile this may be okay. I am looking forward to more ProTools 8 videos, including further detail on getting the best possible audio recording, advanced audio editing, mixing best pra...

Hi there, macProvideo is one of the best tutorials that I have invested in, so much so, that I am considering more. Thank you, George H.

Aaaah that's how you do it...found myself saying this a few times through this tuorial and i've been using Pro Tools for almost 10 years, very informative. Thanks guys

Great Tutorial...!!! Regards from Chile Fernando

The way that the Tutorial is built makes for a fast learning curve. It also motivates me even more to try out different things. I recommend this tutorial!

Congratulations from Paris (France) and .. Mille merci à Scott Freiman qui a fait un tutorial fantastique, facile à comprendre et très dynamique ! J'ai mis la journée à le visionner et je mettrai surement quelques semaines à l'assimiler ! Merci encores à Scott.

Really good work .What about to get to know more about Arturia s synth bundle now ??? I'll definitely purchase one .

i like it

haven't finished watching it in detail, but i'm really happy so far.

First of all - Thank You for your hard work ! English is not my main language , but this tutorial by Scott Freiman is very clear and easy to understand . I have found an answers to all my questions about NI Complete . Great !

Its a great way to learn about all the futeres of Kore2. There is no book that can tell you the same.... After the dvd you know it all..!

One thing for sure, I will hardly ever go back to the "same old" boring paper manual ever again after I've watched how Scott Freiman explained the so called 'complicated' NI Kore. He made the whole learning process simple,fun and easy to follow, on your face and believe it or not, outright entertaining. Thanks to all the lovely people of MacProVideo who took their time to make it happen. Rakibul H. Khan

Nice and proper introduction and into deep reveal of Native instruments KORE. Scott Freiman is an excellent teacher.

I thought it was great! In just a short time I learned allot from the video. It answered many questions I had that you could not get from the Native Tutorials.

I thought this was an immaculate tutorial. Narrated descriptively, covering all the major facets of the program, this tutorial is great for both the beginner and the intermediate user. I really hope to see a follow-up that has multilayered sound examples and more advanced routing tutorials possibly.

This was a pretty good tutorial for someone fresh with these intuitive programs. I definitely can't wait to see a follow-up to this, yet I think it may be beneficial for both parties if each instrument had it's own dedicated tutorial video, such as Kore... namely Reaktor 5?

Very good tutorial! A++++++++

A must for anyone who is starting with Ni Synths. The best downloadable tutorial available so far. Easy to understand and pleasant to listen to. The only reason for a 4 star rating is that the excerises are too short and too simple. Still, this is the best tutorial for Native Instruments Komplete 5 that I found after a very long search.

exelent! it would be great to have more audio titles.

Voice is good, content is good. I liked the course well.

Not bad. Some tutorials are a bit brief and very similar to what you can get of the NI website, like the massive tutorial. Fm 8 tutorial was great and in depth. Overall worth checking out. Only thing that did annoy me a bit was the exercises are with Kore and not really on the synth themselves. I understand that komplete and kore work together really well but I was hoping for more on the synths in this one. Like creating a bass sound from scratch with massive or an arpeggiatored line in Fm8 as a...

NI KORE 101 is one of the best investments I've made in 2008. As soon as I started the tutorial, I was hooked! In a matter of minutes I had answers to all my questions about KORE. Once I went thru the chapters of interest to me I was so impressed that I went back to the beginnig and watched the entire tutorial one more time. I was very satisfied with the content as well as the instructor, Scott Freiman. Satisfied enough that I purchased the next tutorial by Scott on Native Instruments Komplete, ...

A very useful course...native instruments Komplete is vast...It would have taken me forever to get started with just the manuals....If you've just got Komplete...get this course.

Excellent- clear and in depth. Well worth the money.

The Kore tutorial was excellent... this one is even better. It is a must have for anyone who owns Komplete. And if you own Kore as well, you are in for a treat. Especially good for Reaktor and FM8. The instructor is not only very knowledgeable... he is a very good teacher. his voice tone keeps the listener interested. Well worth the price... and more.

All of your tutorials have been so helpful, i have bought so many, i keep coming back to learn new skills from you. The course outline and the style are easy, most tutorials out there require you to watch a lengthy one or you have to keep clicking lessons one after the other. yours is different. well done! I am yet to see the kontakt part of the komplete set of tutorials. how soon will i be able to watch them. Thanks babatunde (London)

Excellent tutorials presented in such a user friendly manner. Really opened up a whole new world for me in terms of sound creation and moving away from presets to start creating some seriously cool stuff.

Very helpful + instructive - thanks!

Very good introduction to Kore. The first lessons will seem long if you already played around with Kore before. But I learned some interesting things with some of the latest lessons. Good quality videos and narration.

Very good tutorial.

This Tutorial was excellent i learned alot of features i had overlooked in the past Battery's loop slicing has been one of my favourtites. Only Thing is im wondering when it will be updated cause reaktor is the main reason i got this :)

The Core NI Kore training video is among the best in the MacProVideo.com library. It is well-designed, comprehensive and Scott Freiman presents excellently. A minor criticism is that the audio and video are sometimes noticeably not in sync. When it comes to learning about Kore, what it is and how to use it, Core NI Kore delivers. I look forward to the training on Komplete, which I am about to start.

Very well made tutorial. Good explanations and all the relevant areas covered. Thanks

The tutorials on Ni's Komplete have been in most instances beyond my expectations. Each topic is delivered clearly and methodically. I have not received the videos on Guitar Rig and Reactor, so am unable to comment on these components. However, I have enjoyed the ride so far.

Excellent overview and insightful examples.

excelent !!

Excellent tuition. Clear, concise and detailed enough without being overly technical. Great stuff!

awesome, I like the most part is creating the own user page and effect session. and also creating own kore sounds in blowing me away.

This video is very well done, thanks.

I actually have Kore Version 1 and i bought this Tutorial to find out if i really wanted to spend money and buy the upgrade. As it happens i do, but it was a cheap way to find out everything about Kore 2. I've done this with your Tutorials before. Great work Scott

This is an interactive and thorough tutorial and the voice is as horelic's, awakening... For when the NI TNT and NI Reaktor?

The Core Tutorial is really great! When I bought Core 2 and started with the manual it wasn´t fun at all! Scott Freiman explains very clearly and he focusses on the important things. I already bought other macprovideos (inside logic....) and I preordered NI Complete. Thanks for great work! Aletta from Germany

Excellent as usual, at the end of this tutorial i feel like i've worked with Kore for years! Thank You!

These tutorials are great! They really make plain the possibilities in the KORE platform AND they do it very efficiently and effectively. So, um, how about taking MASSIVE on next? :-) Thanks!

Thanks for a great tutorial.It's made my Kore 2 so much more open and welcoming.I actually understand the flow and potential of it now.The style and pace of the tutorial is great. I would have liked an example of Kore 2 side-chained in Logic though...but I can play around and see what happens. Thanks.
