This is a valuable resource! Yes it is, really. There seems to be some great information, advice and guidance that will help you sequence, record and mix better music. Look for the freebies. Its good stuff and any help you can get with your coursework is a good thing. Maybe you will like what you see and then want more...
This is cheating! I don't begrudge anyone making money. If people are willing to pay then go for it. The trouble is that some of the resources on this site are explaining exactly how to create the sounds and sequences that the Edexcel exam board have asked students to create in 'controlled conditions'**. It looks like the guy sits up all night making a resource pack simply to make money. Surely this is pushing things a little too far.
IMHO
I guess the exam board won't like this either. Hey, I wonder if anyone writes something like 'I used the synth settings I got from the music tech guru video...' in their coursework portfolio? I would put money on it.
I haven't purchased any of the resources so I cannot comment on the packs themselves. I am not disputing the quality at all. This is just first impressions.
Has anyone paid for this stuff or got any further opinions?
**Controlled conditions, no access to the Internet or advice from anyone else. Pretty much like exam conditions only you can talk and go out of the room to pee.
