Hi guys,
If I wanted to improve my mixing chops using PT and my computer, where is a good place, or what is a good method/course for learning? Any great suggestions?
Thanks!

THanks everyone, this is good stuff. I’ll definitely keep busy for a while.

Hey Rob, this is gonna be a little sales-pitchy, but I just finished taking the 200 level ProTools courses from a guy named Frank Cook, who writes the textbooks for Avid (who makes ProTools).
While not a mixing class, Frank DOES teach you every single element of the program. I gotta say, after being a dedicated ProTools user for nearly 12 years now, and having made in excess of 4,000 tracks on the program, there was so much I learned that I had no idea ProTools was even capable of. Not only that, but the shortcuts and workflow strategies are immeasurable time-savers.
It won't teach you how to mix or develop your ears, but you'll walk away with a ton of knowledge about the program, which will in turn help your mixing. You could reach out to Frank directly on his website if you're interested:
