Ultimate Dj, I had every intention of having this ready, this month, but I really shouldn't have dropped any dates. (I totally understand why Korg keeps quiet about their releases.)
I haven't been on the forums, much. I've been going through a rough time, including 2 deaths of close people, who worked on my last project. One is my wife's dad, who dropped 80 pounds and withered away from cancer in just 2 months. The wife has been with him, through it all. Been taking some extra time to watch the kids, through this.
A month ago, I pulled EXILE from any of this year's premiere dates. This Tutorial has remained a priority, which is why I spent a load of cash on an editor... I really thought that would help more. Well, I'm spending as much time fixing the project as he did to initially edit it - screens aren't lining up, the edits aren't tight, large sections were missing, etc. He did a lot of work, but having an outsider cut a technical video doesn't work.
I'm just about done with fixes. It's 6:27am, which is becoming a very typical time for me to come in from the studio, after editing the tutorial. At 12:30pm, I have to be at a funeral. The best thing about it is getting some time off of work. I have gotten a lot done in the last few days.
Yeah, this amounts to some excuses, but sometimes attitude gets the best of me. I'll just say, very soon.

Wow. I am so sorry to hear about this. How very tragic... what a terrible lose in such a close time. Don't worry about the Tutorial! Its really not that important compared to the other things you have going on.
I'll be thinking and Praying for you and your family!

Sorry to read that, Mike.
Having such a difficult time perhaps you can regard the remarks on your release date as a compliment. There are quite some people here looking forward to learning from an expert how to get more out of their Oasys and improve their workflow. BTW I'm honestly one of them.
You provided some of the most usefull tipps that helped me sticking to the idea of using the Oasys INCLUDING its sequencer.

Hows it Going
Hi Mike sorry to hear re your family and freinds, hope is all sorting itself out soon. Take the time that you need, obviously, however if you can give any indication as to when the cd/dvd's will be ready, that would be great. My condolences to you and your family from an Aussie
