Dennis G. 5.0 out of 5 stars This DVD is one of the most effective tutorials I have ever seen. It arrived on the same day as the Boss DR-800 and I'm very grateful it did. While the DR-800 manual is very good, going through the DVD first was very helpful -- it totally demystified the nature of the device and instilled enthusiasm for using it. The gentleman providing the instruction is fantastic. He is clear, personable and articulate. He has a real talent for knowing when to elaborate. Every time I was unclear on a particular point, it was like he anticipated it and, in the next 10 seconds, addressed that point. He also communicated his genuine appreciate for how cool a tool the DR-800 is. I can't recommend this DVD highly enough. I think it's saved me hours in getting up to speed. I found it to be more than worth the money.This is an excellent tutorial. Period. Even without having the Machine in front of me I was able to follow the instruction very closely and understood the training fully. The instruction is thorough and interesting. The instructor actually adds some life to the training (what could have been a boring and head-banging overload). He did a great job keeping me on track and interested throughout. I know I will be reviewing this DVD tutorial time and again until I've got this thing mastered. Great DVD, great price, and a can not do without, resource. Trying to learn this machine with just the owner user manual would be utterly exhausting. Thanks again to Amazon for providing another great product.It answered all my questions about the functions of this unit and I would buy other products of this type from the seller. Did just what I expected it to do.The DR-880 has so many features that even the most experienced artist could benefit from having a reference guide to unlock the full potential of the DR-880.If you start out just using the build-in patterns, the more you use it, the more features you will want to use. The video definately helps getting started. The real learning starts with the doing.modifying patterns and building songs. What I first thought I understood, turned out not to be as clear as it seemed. I continue to go back to the video and catch details that I missed.coupled with the manual, it all comes together. My objective is to make music and not to fiddle with a machine. After you do a few patterns and songs, the process becomes more natural.Roland certainly know their stuff in seeking the experience and support of David Wills (of ProAudioDVDs.com) in making this video. I already have other videos created by David for other equipment i own and my experience using these meant i had every confidence in the quality of this video. I feel David's delivery on products he reviews to be excellent, very clear, very thourough and full of useful tutorials on everything you wish to know about your product. I am hopeless when trying to learn from paper manuals and I can't praise this product enough.Sorry, we failed to record your vote. Please try again.
