Hits. Crankin' them.

Maybe the last of the Holiday hits, but you never know.

Yesterday was a sad day as I decided to put to rest my beloved "OG" (pre-PostureFit, original style lumbar support, rotary arm adjust, etc.) Herman Miller Aeron chair. It's been suffering for a few years now. But it always remained loyal and comfortable.

Yesterday, a bolt on the left side seat link sheared. Which was very loud and scary. And yet, it still remained comfortable.

That said - I had no idea what was going to happen next. And literally after *decades* of service, the first and last part of every single day and usually a large chunk of the rest of every day, I decided to retire it.

And today is a happy day, as I'm typing this from my fresh, fully-functional and extremely comfortable Aeron.

The Herman Miller Aeron chair - Stumpf and Chadwick's seating masterpiece. There is no substitute.

I absolutely HATE setting up new computers. But this one is for YOU. It's a monster.

I know - I know... No one *needs* 64GB of RAM on a machine dedicated to stereo audio. No one *needs* a 2TB SSD working drive and 20TB of NAS space (with a 2TB cache). No one *needs* a processor approaching speeds of 5 GHz for stereo audio.

That said - The computers here are only an almost inconsequential piece in the chain. But like everything else, we take it farther than we need - because you deserve it.

If it could only make a difference in the sound... But yeah, it sounds the same as the old computer. 🤣

Hey, ComEd -- Think you can keep everyone's power on long enough for me to do a quick software update?

It's barely August and I think I've reached my allotted number of holiday albums for the year already.

DANCE SEASON!!! It's rounding the bend. A multitude of dance companies around the country are ready for rehearsals and tours.

Now to burn some CD's for Disney... Yes, CD's. Still don't know why. I think they're the only reason I still have any.

Shutting down for a week or so of mental maintenance and luxurious coffees.
Back before you know it. 😁

Oh my goodness...

Props to a gal that's been keeping me pretty busy over the past year or so as I ride on the coat tails of the wonderfully talented Kelsey Montanez -- The Chicago Reader's "Best Pop Artist" *AND* "Best Singer-Songwriter" of 2023.

Normally, this is where I'd say something like "there are few more deserving of this great achievement" -- But I don't have to! Because the Reader has already made it clear that there are NONE!!! NONE MORE DESERVING!!! Mwuahahahahha!!!

This is pretty well-timed, as if I recall, her latest single, "Infinite Bloom" drops on Friday (2/23/24). And believe me, I've worked on a bunch of her stuff - The fuse is lit on this one...

Bill K. @ Chicago Broadcast behind the faders once again, captured the 'infinite groove' like a champ, and as usual, it was an absolute pleasure to run it through the garden here at Massive Mastering LLC.

Go like and follow and what not (her link is above) so you can getcha some.

Congrats, Kelsey - Looking forward to the next one with high expectations.

The readers voted, and the results are here! Read who won best in Music & Nightlife.

Lothar Keller is een Amerikaanse gitarist/zanger (in die volgorde) die zijn sporen in de metal wereld inmiddels ruim heeft verdiend. Je zou hem kunnen kennen van zijn tijd als snarenplukker in The Skull, de band van voormalig Trouble leden Eric Wagner en Ron Holzner. Op het debuut van stadsgenoten (...

MASTERING YOUR AUDIO

Your mastering session is the final step - The ultimate hours of the assembly of your project. Levels set - Equalization tweaked - Stereo field adjusted - Fades established - Dynamics optimized. The mastering session is the last chance to get your project sounding its best before manufacturing or digital distribution. For some recordings, a final layer of quality control. For others, a substantial benefit regarding perceived sound quality and presentation. With the amazing variety of recording equipment and sources available -- From the most humble home studios, to elite, top-flight recording facilities, professional audio and CD mastering services have never been more important. MASSIVE MASTERING can give you the professional results you desire at rates that make indie labels blush. This isn't a “cookie cutter” service...
