What a fantastic resource! Charles alternates between talking about mixing in general terms (how to approach a mix, things to think about, analog vs digital, etc...) and thoroughly examining one specific mix of a rock song (all of the tracks, all of the plugins, all of the automation, and most importantly "WHY" he did what he did).
This DVD set isn't meant to be "this is how you should mix," since the whole point of music is creativity and finding your own voice. Instead, this is a seasoned pro saying "this is exactly how I mixed this particular song at this particular time, and hopefully you can gain some insight that you can apply to your own mixes."
Particularly valuable is the fact that all of the session files, complete with the original tracks, and all of the plugin settings and automation is included for you to pick through, analyze, and experiment with! This is absolutely fantastic. Being able to go through an entire song, track by track, and hearing what it originally sounded like, and listing to the effect of each and every plugin and how they shape that sound, how was each track panned, what tracks were doubled, how does the song evolve as it progresses from one section to another.
No matter how much you know about mixing, there is something you can learn from this set, in fact, I would say that the more you already know, the MORE you can learn!
