A lot of you know me but there are so many new folks here now and with the big move of the Membership platform and it's new name I thought I might reintroduce myself... I am an Audio Engineer and Author in my fifties working towards making a second career, running my own company, remastering music & writing. I am learning how to confidently and effectively produce, mix and master multi-track music on the computer using the Studio One Pro 7 DAW. I am in the "Membership Club" at Mastering.com and I hope, soon join their "The Reverse Engineer" audio course. Looking back now, I have spent 38 years, professionally in various realms of customer service. I was a Lead and Trainer at the Astronaut training facilities here in Houston, more precisely, working at the NASA Visitor Center at The Johnson Space Center for The Manned Spaceflight Education Foundation for almost a decade, I taught Public Speaking to Tour Guides and was ultimately second in command in the Management team there. I have recently retired from a 20 year long career as a City Library Clerk in the Circulation Department at the Public Library in Friendswood Texas. I have spent much of my free time recently, redefining who I am, not just professionally but spiritually. Like never before, I feel in touch with the god-fire energy of the soul, connected to all things and my life is truly and powerfully my own. I am emboldenly and daily, grateful for my connection to the Universe ...to God. I am happily divorced, but actively seeking my someone, maybe that soul-mate to share soul romance and the rest of a lifetime together with in the now and the future ahead of us. I have a 21 year old daughter, who is now attending college in Austin, Texas at St. Edwards University. I am currently writing a non-fiction book about manifesting the here and now and the better futures we all deserve. Connecting the dreams of the past to those of today, I studied Audio Engineering in Community College here, in the Houston area back in the 1990's. The goal for me in the day was to work in the Music Business.

Hey everyone, If you are like me ...you have been waiting to truly hear the whole skinny on what happened with the California wildfire that took out Bob Clearmountain's legendary "Mix This" Studio and how the recording world rose up together and got him operational in a new space that his family owned. https://youtube.com/watch?v=I7rJenQajI0&si=5b-CGnS2qX2x3vRe And here is the big right up in MIX Magazine. https://www.mixonline.com/blog/seen-on-the-scene-bob-clearmountain-reopens-mix-this-fta

Alan Rosenberg and I were waxing silly on the phone this morning and we said I hope Mastering.com doesn't make us all get that old 1980's "Members Only" jackets to wear. 🤣 SEE THE PICTURE.
