Curtis, I just have to thank you for these fantastic videos. They're are always so jam-packed with information, with great delivery. Even topics I thought I had nailed down, you've provided bits of bonus info to go along with them. There's never enough preparation one can do before a production day so I can't tell you enough how much I appreciate these. I'm sure I'll have a question for you at some point but until then, I'll be watching! All the best. Joshua Agnew
Your courses have been such an eye-opener to sound. I’ve taken the Lynda courses and definitely prefer yours. Sean Openshaw
