The bad news is it requires you be on facebook and "like" Lynda.com but there is no other catch.  The full course is free until July 19th.  I posted this here because I have seen a few questions on this forum that are addressed in this course.

Review: Lynda.com Music Production Secrets: Larry Crane on Recording « Audio Geek Zine

Thanks for posting that.  Tape Op  is equally geeky and useful.  I like that Lynda.com used someone that many of us actually read and not just a bedroom musician who speaks the lingo.  No disrespect to bedroom musicians intended.

Whew. Glad I moved my stuff to a different room!

The sign up asked for a credit card number.

rmorter..did you take the link via lynda.com or did you go the facebook route?  i assure you it is 100% free and asks for no credit card number.  I'm not associated with Tape Op or Lynda.com.  I just stumbled upon it and thought it would be cool to share a nice freebie.  They tend to offer a course or two from various software types each month for people who like them on FB.

I used to have a Lynda.com subscription and watched a couple of the mixing courses. The one by Brian Lee White is excellent. He does Pro Tools Mixing And Mastering (which translates well to other DAW's) and also separate courses on EQ, filters and compression. They really are second to none, especially if you're a beginner, but I also think you'd learn something from them if you were more experienced too. I have happy memories of sitting watching these for most of the evening. 

These are actually great videos and very interesting for me even though I do everything ITB. I just watched the ones on adding distortion to bass and recording piano and they were a joy to watch. 

Was going to watch it but it was for PT, still was going to watch it until I saw it was a free trial. I would forget and end up paying for something I don't want but thanks for the link anyway!

jbow and anyone else who thinks they have to pay for anything or sign up for a free trial..NO NO NO.  Lynda.com does offer that option, but if you simply like them on facebook you don't have to sign up for anything.  it is a link on their facebook page to watch the whole thing with no . catch.  Very little of it is PT specific.  It just happens to be that he is working in PT.
