Well, it’s time to get back to work - Let 2024 begin!
NAMM was all we expected and more….
We met with friends who got us started in pro audio. On the left is me and Gus Skinas from Sony. Middle is David Angress CEO of QSC (and the man who’s business sold us our initial recording gear 40 years ago). On the right is Mike Newman (standing) and his son A.J. (who’s contemplating a career in music). Mike was a roommate and top product manager for so many pieces of gear I can’t remember them all.
These are incredible people who are all now life long friends and contributed to building our presence in the pro audio industry.
I take the pro audio community with me when I enter new worlds, like consumer audio where the audiophiles live and support our efforts of higher quality music production. What’s funny to me is how little pro audio knows about the audiophile and how little the audiophile knows about pro audio. Not everyone, of course, but we hope to bridge the gap that exists.
We’ve had a flood of new people wanting to learn audio skills - including artists considering recording at home and audiophiles wanting to understand how recordings translate to their home audio systems. We now have training sessions going on weekly. If you’re interested, send us an email to support@bluecoastmusic.com and we’ll see what we can arrange.
Annual subscribers will receive a 10% discount on any training courses.
I’ll be writing more on our activities coming in 2024. What have you been doing? Let us know!
Have a great week and HAPPY REST OF NEW YEAR !
