Hey Chris! At the beginning of the year..... absolutely loving it here. I was working out of Dave Harris' room for a few months, but with both of us being pretty busy that was tough having two guys work out of one room, so I have my own place set up now. I've only had one attended session the entire...

For my audio work I use an IBM Netfinity server running Win XP (I use Wavelab for CD editing and unfortunately it's PC only)... compared to the IBM (which sou...

Never fear, mastering enginner, you still have a job. Wow... for a minute there I was worried. :rofl: I can remember when the finalizer came out - everyone was asking me "are you worried"... how many years ago was that?

And as our friend pointed out: monitoring, monitoring, monitoring ....
