Cookie's Corner - #168 - What a great weekend reconnecting with our audiophile friends at CAS!
From Cookie Marenco - Founder and Producer Blue Coast Records and Music
We had a wonderful weekend reconnecting with our audiophile friends at the California Audio Show! It was our first show since Covid hit more than 3 years ago and talking to those with like minds was an overwhelming treat.
Buy Two Get One Free is still available at the Blue Coast Music store.. you site for high resolution downloads!
To add to the excitement, Fiona Joy Hawkins (left) and Rebecca Daniel (center) flew out from Australia to be at the show! That’s me on the right. Together we hold the FREE goodie bag we gave out to more than 400 lucky attendees. The goodie bag had vinyl, SACD and CD products inside with a value that was more than the cost of the ticket to get into the show.
It was a small show, in terms of show rooms, but the turnout was fantastic. It gave us a chance to mingle, meet and engage in conversations about gear, recording processes and more. Fiona and Becky signed a lot of albums that day, too.
And for a really fun moment, check out this Facebook video Fiona posted from the Show.. Ariana (our newest engineer), herself and Rebecca dancing to Kylie Minoque in one of the rooms.

Thank you, Constantine Soo, for putting the show together! We hope to go to more audio shows next year with many musicians along with us… and more goodie bags!

Below is a picture of my control room where the mixes and mastering are done.
The picture in the center was my previous speaker setup in the control room. The other two photos are more recent. Yes, that is an accordion that lives in the control room!. Can you name all the speakers you see? Leave your answers in the comments!
