I am a Cincinnati native who's made my way here in Hollywood writing cues and mixing for television and motion pictures. I've got an over the top successful career/life here in Los Angeles and enough credentials to sink a battleship. I am busy 65 hours a week and more is available if my old body would permit, however..........
I'd chuck it all tomorrow for an opportunity to return home.

In weird way I know what you mean. I grew up in LA, moved to Cincinnati in '87 to open a business. Got married, raised a family. Hate LA. My business partner is in LA and I only see him once every couple of years (under protest). Love Cincy. What a great place to raise kids. Great community (the burbs). It's not perfect but a hell of a lot better than LA.
I mix & record for myself or friends. A lot of my enjoyment comes from DIY'ing my own equipment. I have a complete ANALOG system. Tried computer recording back in the late 80's. It sucked. Spent more money/time with software and hardware issues than I did recording (I hate anything MOTU!). Now I have a 16 Track Otari 90 MK II a couple of analog boards and a bunch of older equipment and mics (decent collection). Plus I have built a half a dozen knock offs of old Tweed Fender amps and am enjoying the heck out of building mic pre's and compressors (LA2A's, 1176's and SSL, Seventh Circle pre's and a Gyraf tube pre).
Would really like to hook up with you guys as my business and family life hasn't allowed me the freedom that I once enjoyed (not that it's a bad thing). But my kids and wife moved to Charlotte, NC (we have a house there, my wife took a promotion with here company). So I have a lot more free time for my hobbies ( I also build motorcycles, put together guitars and am rebuilding a couple of analog consoles).
Really look forward to meeting you guys and seeing where computer recording has gone. The idea of editing in a computer has always intrigued me.
Sorry I rambled on for so long.
