amazing
I love this video. Very easy to understand.but I have an idea. WHY NOT incorporate izotope machine learning to all these videos?I must thank you guys for helping me so much. Fans of my band keep telling me that my mixes are getting better. But I am just a beginner. Could we submit our songs to groove ? And maybe you can make tutorials from your re fans that is how we could learn. The songs you have are already almost perfect. But you guys are great.my friends engineer friends from musicares.org told me that you are the best. God bless.

No is that i was expecting.
Very desapoinment, why Phil don’t tell us that is using the most expensive plugin, also why he did not gave us the tracks files to follow him. Too expensive for difficult mixing song with to complicated plugins. The song is amazing. Please next time more information, 50 dollars to the trash.

Helpful, but.
I haven't finished the series yet, but I'm enjoying the tutorials and learning a lot. I was hoping Phil would use more plugins that are included with Pro Tools (truly in the box). I feel like with every segment, I need to buy another plugin to achieve the result.
