DO NOT waste your time and $ on these:

AskVideo Pro Tools series – A disappointment,

Grooveboxmusic/Groove 3/Brainwerks: Enter/Explore/Excel Pro Tools – These just aren’t the same kind of quality that the HowAudio ones are, also the music they’re working on is like elevator muzak.

Beat Detective Explained – This is one of the old Groovebox titles, from before they kicked ass. Instead learn Beat Detective with Kenny Gioia in the Tips & Tricks series.

Secrets Of The Pros series - These kinda suck!

Digital Music Doctor Pro Tools Series – worst of the worst

Groove3 and HowAudio have very affordable subscription options, I recommend getting them that way. MacProVideo is another great training resource.
