[QUOTE="Adam Black, post: 98929, member: 702"] Re: Mixing Resources My sound knowledge is a direct result of the work I do. I'm a software engineer by trade, but about six years ago I started doing software for the pro audio market. After working at EAW for a year I joined some friends and started Rational Acoustics. I'm the lone code jockey responsible for Smaart v7 and Smaart Di. I'll assume you're at least somewhat aware of our offerings so won't bother to detail them. In addition to spending my days around sound guys, watching system tunings and discussing advanced theory I've done a good bit of reading on the subject.
