The tutorial was excellent. I enjoyed every min. of it. I loved getting into the mind a skilled and talented producer/engineer. I only wish that he used more of Logic's plugin rather then mostly using third party. But that is small. I still give this video 5 because it was clear, informative, and digestible. I would reccomend this to anyone who wants to beef up their mixing skillz. Thanks Macpro for another good one.

Davids seminar was excellent, but I do find the choice in his music not really the kind of band I was hoping to hear. But by the end of the sessions the song kind of grew on you. David Isaac experience and expertise were very evident. Anyone one takes the time to go through the material will of course will learn a great deal, with his subtle hints and good advice when dealing with mixing and workflow. Over all I would purchase any of Davids' future work. Thank you Martin for putting a pro at our disposal.

This is a great tutorial as it goes from end to end the entire process of mixing as done by a seasoned professional. However I would recommend high quality headphones for some of the EQ tips which are so subtle they are almost imperceptible.
