Welcome Back!

Hey there audio friends! The great thing about being an active audio engineer is that sometimes you get so so busy, you literally don’t have time for other things. Some updates:

As you can tell, I did a little of rebranding. I’m so happy with it. I hired a wonderful latinx graphic designer, Spacehoes, check her out!

I recently completed the Dolby Atmos certification course offered by Avid. It was very cool to learn the software with other leading professionals in the field! I’ll share more on that soon.

On a more personal note, I did end up welcoming a pup to my home which has been a lot of work! But she is wonderful and also a great studio pup (even as a growing Great Dane). As an engineer, its so easy to not socialize for DAYS. Adding a pup to my life encourages me to get out for some sun and take mix breaks often. Highly recommend a studio pup!

Something else I also did to take care of my mental health while balancing endless work was join a running club. Running always has been my form of relaxation. This time a joined an ultra club, so possibly running a 100 mile race in the future.

Lastly, I have to mention how great its been using the EngineEars website over the past few months. Being so busy makes it hard to send out invoices, keep track of multiple clients and projects, and just basic file management. EngineEars thankfully takes all the stress out of the process and lets me just focus on the task at hand - mixing. I highly recommend checking it out whether you are an engineer or artist.

That’s all the updates for now! Thanks for hanging by while the site went quiet for some refreshing.
