I started the South Coast Audio Workshop in order to foster a community amongst artists, engineers and producers in Southern California. My hope is that this group will become one of diverse taste and experience, and that it will offer each member opportunities to share, refine his/her craft and achieve personal goals in technique, content and creativity. Do you have experience recording, mixing or producing audio? You're in the right place. I know, and I'm sure you do to, that tribal knowledge …

Do you like going to movies or concerts but don't want to go alone? Post a date and location and I'm sure someone will be interested. Wa …

Each chakra has it’s own unique vibration frequency, with the root, vibrating at the slowest and deepest rate to the crown, which vibrates at a higher faster rate.
