Good online production private lesson tutors?

I would work through both of Mike Senior's books; his new one is Recording Secrets For the Small Studio.

Many perceived mix problems can be because of other issues like poor recording or source sounds and poor arrangement...no amount of mix-foo is going to rescue something that's inherently not right to start with.

I find if a track is well enough recorded and arranged then it should sound pretty good simply by balancing the faders

Well said! I guess it's the whole recording chain that matters not just the mixing

Absolutely; my goal whilst recording is to be able to throw the faders up to nominal and have 90% of the mix done. Mixing other people's recordings is why I own so many cool studio tools. When you have great, well-rehearsed musicians with excellent instruments/arrangements working together in a phenomenal space, the tools only have to be adequate.
