One year ago today I started doing the mastering thing as a full-time job. Never thought I'd be as busy as I am in this amount of time, nor did I ever think I'd really find a way to do music for a living. Amazing how much work it is too (ungh, Quickbooks)!
Also surprised at how much mixdown/consulting work I got this year, much more than in previous years when I was just doing this part time.
Very happy boy today.

Congrats Bro! You're living the dream!
I feel you on Quickbooks. It's a pain in the ass. Especially if you put it off for a few weeks.

congrats Tarekith, so after you look back on things what do you think attributed to everything turning out this way for you, was it the way you promoted yourself, or ...???

It's nice to hear a success story like this amidst all the doom and gloom of record industry 2.0
