Just got a newsletter from iZotope today and it included a link to some free tutorials from their collaboration with Berklee.
Some are pretty bonehead but most of them illustrate some little bit that I just never got through my thick skull.
I've found that video tutorials are a god send for folks like me who are either too damn stubborn to ask for help or just don't have anyone to ask.
