Re: tutorial to buy
I can highly recommend Tom Cosm, I've probably learnt more from his videos than any other single place!

Re: tutorial to buy
If you have the money and time - get all three: Groove3, macprovideo, and sonic academy.
Olav on macprovideo has got to be the easiest to listen to, plus he's hilarious. After going through his house tutorial I feel like we're best friends.
Sonic Academy is great if you own Sylenth, which I do.
Groove3 is pretty good, especially for arrangement help.
I haven't checked out Tom Cosm but it's on my TDL.

Books can be good but are sometimes way too general and it’s harder to grasp than watching and listening to somebody using the same tools you are.
Youtube videos can be good but you either find something specific you are looking for or some random cool thing. The advantage of tutorial series is you’ll learn a lot more than you might be looking for and it’s in a linear context instead of just something random you might do in the beginning, middle, or end of working on a track.
I have a monthly subscription to MacProVideo. They are constantly adding new tuts and you get the most bang for your buck having access to them all whenever you want to check them out. I wasted way too much money buying individual tutorials.
Just this past Friday I got the TA groove3 tut on arranging tracks, thus completing the collection. Yes it’s house-centric, but there’s a lot in there you could use for any genre of music. On that note I wouldn’t shy away from genre specific tuts just because it isn’t your cup of tea. There’s things to be learned from all genres of music.
