Just letting you know, I've had some fantastic feedback across the board for the new blog I posted.
It's actually surprising the opinions of professionals who work in the audio industry. With their point of view, there are no holes barred and some may think, they are putting their reputation on the line.
I guess honesty is the best policy, if we are to improve.
I just posted a new Blog about Compact Discs. I would recommend you read it and any feedback would be appreciated. Title of the Blog is "Quality vs. Loudness on CD".
Hi doug, that sounds like a very wonderful night, is that typical in your line of work? That is a pretty big gig to my way of thinking! As for me, thanks for asking....I was working on 3 songs for my upcoming CD, and I was in the mixing and tweaking stages.
your studio in your default pic looks great by the way!
have a good day in your beautiful part of the world, NY is cold but nice. peace, racquel
