I assume all these agreements were in writing though? I know that when I've done commercials it usually states exactly the terms with regard to length of use and renewal rates, etc.
I'm also assumi ... |

It's a sad state of affairs that because audio is less (or completely, if we're being accurate) 'visible' than say, an on-screen commercial, we have to train our ears or the ears of those close to us, ... |

I can attempt to try and treat a corner of my room, it's a very small studio apartment, so there's no other rooms to speak of.

Well chief among the reasons I want to enlist George is that his services range from booth tuning and sound solutions, since my booth is a crawl space under some stairs that's 5'5" tall, 4 feet w ... |

The mics in the first clip (the narration read), were:

I dropped off the radar here late last year for a while (around the time you posted this issue!), I am sorry I did, for I had a problem with my CADe100s as well last year!
