    Anything by Bob Katz, pureMix stuff is good also, MWTM etc.
    You can find many of these tutorials already posted on youtube, but if you're looking for a specific engineer you like, try the sister site or rutracker.org
    Even the Slate courses are pretty good for picking up things on the fly, but they're not super thorough.

    Oh and for mastering, I would check out Brian Lucey. The man really knows his stuff and explains it very good.

    Cheers

    Haha, you won't learn in a week.. Sorry, but its the truth. Also, mixing is VERY different between engineers and producers and style of music. Listen to people but don't take it as they are right, because they aren't. There aren't a correct way to do mixing.

    This.
    The best way, learn is to mix your own stuff and how and why the tools are working. Know your tools.
    Watching some dude say "tame the highs" and "listen how that's glued the mix together" only shows how he approach that one particular song.

    I could watch people make a soufflé for a month. I'd know the best eggs, finest caster sugar, how to prepare my milk, get the exact temperature of his oven. Then make a pile of shit.
    Whilst Mary next door just made 3, whilst following brief recipe and cracked it 4th time in a week.

    I agree. EQ a smiley face put a limiter on it and smash it!?
    I've also watched Streaky post an Ozone 9 mastering tutorial a few months ago and but he had just got the software so the video is of him trying to figure it out so he doesn't know how to use it properly. Learn it before you teach it. :snuffy:
    After watching that video he doesn't seem like a pro engineer.
