A really great interview with a professional mixer.

I've been keeping up with Recordingrevolution.com for a while now. The host tends to have a lot of simple ideas for improving mixes and is pretty decent at conveying them. But this video I just caught is one of the highlights of the entire series for me. It's an interview with Joe Carrel, a professional mixer that does most of his mixing in the box.

The topics they cover are fascinating, and it's really great that while they start with some minor discussion of plugins, in the end they really reinforce that it's not about how many or how fancy your tools are, it's that you know how to use them so you can let go of the technical side of things and concentrate on bring the emotion of the tracks out.
He spends a lot of time talking about country music, but there's still some solid ideas that could work for about any type of music you might mix.
Thought maybe some of you recording/mixing dudes around here would appreciate this. It's long and takes a bit to get rolling, but the info covered is really thought provoking.
