Glad to see this! I'm a huge Groove3 fan as well as PG Music fan. Groove3 is very good at making easy to understand videos. Perhaps if Groove3 sees enough interest they will consider making RealBand video tutorials also!

For BiaB they have thirty video tutorials for a total run time of two hours and forty minutes.

Note the videos are based on the 2014 edition of BiaB for MacIntosh.

I prefer to download Groove3 videos so I can view offline on both my computer and tablet. The videos in MP4 file format.

For what it's worth,

I downloaded the video tutorial and have been skimming through it.

Once you realize RealTracks are WMA file types in Windows versus MP4a in MacIntosh and Windows midi instruments are GS while McIntosh are DLS everything is okay. All the keyboard shortcuts are different too.

Considering how many people ask for assistance installing the program and getting midi to work some people may become confused if they have the Windows version and are not aware the video is based on the MacIntosh version of BiaB.
