This conference is amazing. It is incredible to see all of the development that goes into video games. well done to all of the nominees, in all of the categories!!
I’m very happy to announce that The cover of Mix Magazine‘s Mastering Issue, December 2009, features my Mastering room with an interview inside. The interview includes myself, Paul Stubblebine and Bob Hodas. We talk a bit about the room, the Speakers (Focal Grand Utopia EM’s), the Tape Project and of course Mastering..
Here is the article from the mixonline.com site
A gathering of SoundBlade users, Thor Legvold, Gavin Lurrsen, Michael Romanowski, and SoundBlade/Amarra owner Jon Reicbach
This AES 2009 panel was entitled ” Mastering in an Ever Expanding Universe (2009 and Beyond).” The panel consisted of Joe Palmacio, Gavin Lurssen, Vic Anesini, Andrew Mendleson, Mark Wilder and Michael Romanowski. We had a great discussion to a standing room only house. I really enjoyed these guys. Very talented, fun and engaging group. I was very proud to be a part of this group of passionate music lovers. These guys will be movers and shakers in the mastering world for many many years to come. I wish them all continued success.
I’m happy the be in New York at the AES convention. I’ll be speaking on a Mastering panel at 2:30 for anyone that happens to be around. I’ll put some pictures up afterward. Cheers

I was told (more than once) that I need a picture of me on my site. I’ve always argued that it’s not about me, but what I do. I seem to always lose that argument…so here. 
now…Back to work I go… : )
