Wow, I made it a whole year and still going.
Wow, I made it a whole year and still going.
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.
