I am a subscriber for quite some months, I saw almost all videos to date (February 2010).
Most
- The video format is pleasant to follow, and good quality (big picture, good sound)
- The guy is a pedagogue, to explain clearly and briefly, is the right level between the bulk and retail. What's great is that we see everything he does on screen with its software.
- Many different topics are covered: operation of sequencers, how to use some effects (réverb. ..), principles of mixing, personal stuff on the composition and arrangement, personal opinions on software and equipment, possible approaches to awareness ...
- Paying for a month and by spending time one can see dozens of hours of tutorial, and in this case the value + quantity / price seems very interesting
The -
- Highly specialized hip-hop / RnB, so if one is only interested in different stuff (jazz, rock, electro ... not) you may not find his account
- Some tutorials are a bit long / delay (mix of voice recording)
- Approximations: DOJ is not very comfortable on the stories of bits (number / fixed / floating) + sampling frequency. So there are some errors in what he says, but it represents only a small part of his tutorials.
- The price seems high to me video
- Marketing a bit misleading: "top secret" actually means = interesting tricks without being known to everyone are nothing secret, "how to make a hit" = some strategies to help "being fashionable" or to find ideas or arrangement of compo ...
Overall it is very good for beginners: the important thing is there and we quickly understand. People can learn a little experience of things, but people with great experience (very familiar with their sequencers and effects, tips on the kick, the side-chain ...) will learn probably nothing or almost nothing.
I also have the 1st DVD "internal mixing" Steinberg. I greatly prefer the site MJtuto which is much more comprehensive and more concrete: the DVD is seen especially a guy talking, generalize (kind of a mix is done in 3D: volume, frequency, and stereo .. . ... ok) and almost no one sees how it effects rule, performs a mix ...
Otherwise tutorials Franco La Muerte (see google ...) are fine too (many are free).
One point is both an advantage and a disadvantage:
The site is rich "mosaic", a bit on all topics at once: recording, mixing, auto-generation, software testing ... the advantage is that there are in all themes. The disadvantage is that there is not a process "complete" A to Z, starting with the recording and mixing, then ...
