Very cool strategy. I love it. Virtual hugs dude! I
probably started mastering in 2002. Most of what I do
is my own work which tends to be very easy to deal
with.

The documents I've been writing focus on controling
loudness. I'm going to keep that slant going but it's
obvious that fixing audio is an interesting topic.
Probably one that I don't know much about. If you've
ever want me to document one of your jobs that
requires interesting strategies tar it up. I'm game.

I definitely don't have a life so I'll place an order
for the industrial port.
