I have to admit they are good, but am hoping they go a bit deeper for the next series. It sounds like you are going this way with instrument racks, but maybe doing some stuff on Drum Racks besides slicing and building drum kits. Not sure if this would fall under your scope or not, but ways of using drum racks for multiple instrument racks (nesting - you touched on this briefly with the drum racks stuff you did, but with only 2 Samplers for a layered pad sound) and how to effectively use a set up like this would be beneficial (wish list you could say)!! All in all they are good tutorials and I do like how they delve into sampler (although I was left wanting more for sure).... Great value, great info....
So much to learn, damn day job.
I appreciate the constructive feedback! You're definitely right, though, my priorities didn't really include going super deep into nesting racks (although I do discuss it in some detail in both of my series). My three biggest priorities with the first series were a) to present, in detail, my technique for sample manipulation, b) talk a lot about grouping parameters, and c) going in depth with complex modulation. I'll certainly be focusing a bit on layering via instrument and drum racks in the next series, but my core priorities will remain the same (but now I'll be focusing on effects manipulation along with using similar techniques from series 1).
I'm glad you found these to be of value, and don't hesitate to email me if you have any questions about what you see.

I'm very happy with how it's turning out so far, and it's giving me a really great excuse to dig into effects combinations I never used much before.
