Mix It Like A Record by Charles Dye is an enormously successful and widely praised interactive mixing course that teaches the secrets of professional mixing.

Leading industry professionals, pro audio critics, top educators, bestselling authors and users all agree, Mix It Like A Record (also known as MiLaR) is the best and fastest way to learn the elusive skill of mixing.

Grammy-winning engineer/mixer/producer Charles Dye (Lauryn Hill, Jon Bon Jovi, Julio Iglesias, Sammy Hagar, Ricky Martin) teaches how to get big sounding, record-quality mixes. You’ll learn how to get amazing sounds using the latest plug-ins, breathe emotion into the music with automation, and make the artist sound like a star.

It features three hours of video-based mixing instruction, a dual-layer DVD that contains 40 Pro Tools LE and TDM sessions, raw tracks you can import into any DAW (Logic, Nuendo, Cakewalk, etc.), effects session templates and custom presets for every plug-in.

I managed to snag some very cool (and surprising lengthy) previews and excerpts from the DVD. Have a look.

“Like attending a Master Class in the art of mixing modern music.” – Bart Thurber, EQ

“Dye teaches tips and presents philosophies that pros and beginners alike can use to improve their mixing skills immediately. Mix It Like A Record is the next best thing to an internship with Andy Wallace.” – Editors, Future Music

“Fantastic coverage of every step in the mixing process – very informative insight into the provocative mixing style of Charles Dye.” – Roger Nichols, Grammy-winning mixer/producer (Steely Dan, Donald Fagen, Crosby, Stills & Nash, Frank Zappa)

“He examines the process of creating a musical mix that builds on emotional cues to really grab the listeners attention… it’s like attending a Master Class in the art of mixing modern music.” – Bart Thurber, EQ

“Covering every instrument and vocal track with razor-sharp theory and practical tips. Passionately delivered and inspirational, MiLaR is highly recommend.” – Jason Scott Alexander, REMIX

“Dye tackles a topic I wouldn’t even know where to begin with and succeeds. Creating a framework for the subject of mixing, MiLaR provides a path the younger engineer, producer or musician can take to jump-start their learning process, bypassing much trial and error.” – Eric Schilling, Grammy winning mixer/producer (Elton John, Shakira, David Bowie, Quincy Jones)

“I’m loving it! In fact, it’s saving my butt! I’m producing a live Foreigner album right now and I’ve applied a lot from the DVD. Can’t thank you enough for it.” – Jeff Pilson, producer/artist/bassist (Foreigner, Dokken, Dio, MSG)

“It’s taken me 20 years, working with the best mixers in the business, to grasp most of the concepts so effortlessly explained with MiLaR, and I still learned a couple of new ones. I only wish it was made 20 years ago.” – Tommy Torres, producer/artist/songwriter (Ricky Martin, Son by Four, Jaci Velasquez, Paulina Rubio)
