Back in the '90s My services were mainly field recording, mastering, and tape to CD transfers. In those days I was recording music, motivational seminars, voice for commercials, and sound effects. Digital editing was also a big part of my work too.


Today, my business has evolved into more. Now, my business provides recording related information to people all over the world. That information deals mostly with sound; how to better use equipment; production tips; answering specific emails; gear reviews, and even some financial topics. I'm also promoting and selling my CDs and Concept:FX CD-ROMs through the web.


Now, I spend most of my time working with recording equipment, building and updating my websites, producing and promoting new CDs, and answering email. The only non-information service that I offer to outside clients is mastering and even that is on a limited basis.
