Whoa! It's been a long time since I was this dissatisfied with a product! Most of the video is just Charles Dye walking around in different scenic spots spilling pseudo-philosophical garbage at you. I mean, are you really paying this kind of cash to hear a guy tell you to "connect with the emotions in the music" or whatever? I mean, sure, you should connect emotionally with the music, but do I really need to pay a guy to tell me that?
I can't believe how much of the DVD is just this dude talking at me about general ideas like emotion and "freshness". I already understood that doing something fresh means doing something that hasn't been done before. I didn't need to drop this kind of money for Charles Dye to tell me that.
There are some actual concrete mixing tips in here, but if you collected them all together you'd have about a 20 minute DVD. The rest is garbage.
If you get it and like it, that's great. I'm happy that you found something you like. My advice, though, is to buy another product.
Try Multiplatinum Protools or something.

Wow. This is truly bad. I can only imagine how stoned this guy was on his own ego to conceive of shooting footage of himself all over the world blathering on and on. It's a horribly-shot shaky video homage to this geek with money to spend on himself. Oh yeah, and he talks about mixing occasionally, too.
In other words, there may be good info in this, but it's so badly done and with so much fluff that you are far better off spending your money elsewhere. Like the Universal Audio mixing DVDs, where they actually talk about mixing instead of themselves.

I've heard so much great stuff from all levels of the recording industry about this DVD and, like everyone else, I am always looking for new inspiration, ideas and techniques. I may be missing something, but I found this DVD to be long winded, horribly produced & edited and pretty hard to sit through - distracting background music, lame-arsed camera angles and pathetic, cheap visual effects over everything - yuk! I found Charles likeable enough but when reading his script with his hair blow dried all cool and standing somewhere moody and 'interesting' I found it all a bit childish. The song they demo has some horrible faux-english pronounciations which drove me nuts (I'm British) but is a good enough track. But rather than explain how and why he makes mix decisions and overcomes common problems, Charles just shows you what plug-ins he uses and in what order - pretty much what you would expect. I think the key here is that Charles is obviously extremely good at what he does but it's all in his ears and mind - not in some pattern or method you can learn or replicate - which is a hard truth in any creative art. Anyhow, if Charles was a really busy mix engineer he wouldn't need to supplement his income by selling a DIY DVD! Maybe my dry-British take on this DVD is a little unforgiving and cynical but seriously, save your money people - put it towards a nice new microphone!

People should give this more credit.
Charles Dye has done something here that nobody else has done. He's created a Mixing DVD that talks about concrete mixing concepts, and then talks about more abstract concepts. Read more
