Feature:
Wish it had more on mixing, little less on the duh factor

Value:
Good value, but not everything you need.

Sound:
Professional quality DVD

Ease of Use:
It's a DVD and the chapters are small enough to go back and rewatch a specific tip

Overall:
It goes from the basics (signal routing, micing and recording individual parts etc) to the advanced final chapter about setting up a room for recording and mixing and explaining accoustics. (which may be over a lot of hobbist heads) The good: Down to earth style of the host explaining everything in laymans terms. The bad: really skims through the mixing part. The ugly: The duh factor. The main message when it comes to equipment is the more expensive the better. This isn't aimed at the guy happy with a simple budget setup in the spare bedroom. This is good for people just starting out or those who are ready to make a serious commitment to their home studio. For those who want to go beyond the basics may want to look at "The Art of Mixing" or "Gorilla Recording" if your just a hobbist that isn't going to invest $2400 in a mic pre.
