Yes, all the videos are done in sections so that you can implement the section concentrated on in to your own tracks.
***Please note – Plugins such as Sylenth1 are used in this series but they are NOT needed to learn from this tutorial. I simply use them to automate parameters that you can find on any of your own synths. Simply use the synths/plugins that you have in your own tracks to create the same desired effect.

I would recommend this tutorial series to every producer, mix downs can be a highly complicated process, this series takes the anxiety and guess work out of the equation. Its very difficult to remember every single part of what is expected of us during a mix down. The to do list that Allan provides with the mixdown guides, is a genius way of checking off all the nitty gritty things that can go wrong with a mix down. Allans explanations during the videos, helps give real world examples of the issues that arise in a mixdown- phase issues, etc, and the solutions for those problems. A brilliant series, dont hesitate on getting this, do yourself a favour, thank me later.
