since i started this thread i need to now post some intial observations.
first i didn't mind the crazy locations and all the whacky angle shots etc. maybe a little overdone but it def was more interesting than one camera on one guy in one studio droning on and on about his approach to life and a rock song.
second i def think, as most have said, chrarles comes across as a nice guy and certainly seems to know his way around his PT HD rig
third, i LOVE the D COntrol console look, just had to say that, really sweet looking. but i am always blown away by gear and lights and faders and and and
ok
4th - alot of what he talks about in the metaphysical (sp?) realm is ok, and i actually appreciated someone talking about emotion again, i find that very lacking alot today. and when i record and something is really happening and i get goose bumps or am moved i really know i connecting with something, and to me it was nice to just hear that aspect of creativity mentioned
5th - i have absolutley no idea how anyone can use that many plugs on a track, i was very put off by that. not just because he uses that many (more power to him), but why?? i mean i was trying to imagine my stuff with all that on it and i would lose all resemblance to the song i am working with not to mention i have no idea how to control all of that and my PC would explode at some point. now this is his song and his vision and i respect that alot, just FOR ME too many plugs and choices. I am the AC/DC of acoustic.
6th - i am moving on to the other chapters now and will finish this when i am done watching
overall at this point it would be a B for what i have seen and enjoyed watching. now i need to see what i can really learn and take from it
