New Fantom X Tutorials on DVD

I've got the offical Roland one that Roland UK are now stocking. It's by David Wills and I think it's pretty good. It doesn't include material on V2 of the software but is neverthless excellent value at around $26. David Wills talks to you on the DVD cutting to screen shots when necessay and I notice from the Sudosonic demos that only the screen is visible with a voice over commentary. There's an awful lot to learn with the Fantom and I think both products can only be helpful, so I may also invest in the Sudosonic one, although it's twice the price of the David Wills one on their site.

I have both DVDs and the official DVD is a lot better than Sudosonic DVD.

Sudosonic is VERY over-priced and the approach is very amateurish - for example, it takes the guy ages to find a string tone when demonstrating tones, as he obviously isn't really sure of what he is doing. Topics are glossed over, and things are not explained in enough detail. The things that are explained are done so through a low quality microphone, and in a superficial manner. Overall, not good enough for the money.

The official DVD on the other hand is much better - very professional and presented by a competent Fantom user (David Wills). It is an excellent starting point for new Fantom owners and if you own this DVD there is no need to purchase the Sudosonic DVD.

I wish I had known this before wasting over $75 on the Sudosonic tutorial!

Hope that helps

I had the official roland DVD and sent it back.
I respect sinergy point of view but I actually prefer the sudosonic tutorial. It isn't profesionally done but hey it's just a tutorial not a hollywood blockbuster! and the only reason I feel it's not professional is because you can see the camcorder in the screen of the fantom x he's using. sometimes he is a bit slow on a couple of things but all in all it is worth the money and it does include helpful info on the audio tracks which the offical DVD doesn't. You would think after nearly 4 years they would have updated the DVD to include the audio tracks.
