Mobile World Congress - Day Three - The Most Fun...
The best part about Mobile World Congress is that the topic of mobility is consumer-friendly and companies get creativity about showcasing their technology. There are new devices that have the wow-factor but there’s also some pretty fun companies to visit, even if what they have to show isn’t necessarily new. I must say that, in my biased opinion, the Dolby booth looks quite nice and...

Greetings from the Grammys!
I spent a couple of days down in Los Angeles at the 54th Annual GRAMMY’s Rehearsals. Thom was in tow, along with Michael Coleman and Brandon Vedder of The SoundWorks. We were there to conduct video interviews with some of the award-wining mixing team. You’ll have to check those out on YouTube once the editing is complete, but in the meantime, I’d thought I share what I learned.
