I finished watching most of Shanes DVD this weekend and I am very impressed. Shane seems very comfortable in front of a camera. Some people enjoy learning in different ways - I prefer to learn from watching someone competent DOING their job.

I found it reassuring to note that I do many of the same things while mixing as Shane AND I also had opportunities to learn some new things and different view points. This DVD was set up perfectly for me and how I like to learn. Job well done, I think the DVD is definitely a worthwhile investment.

One suggestion I would like to make that I haven't seen anyone do - how about creating a booklet to go along with the DVD (or future DVD's). It could outline some of the philosphies dicussed. Plug in and hardware setting etc.... If you made it a PDF you wouldn't even need to print it.
