Hey there !

Nice of you to drop by on my Blog site. 

On this site I share my experiences with music, sound and audio equipment, all based on personal experience and some education I have had in the past. I have received a Certificate of the School of Audio Engineering as a Sound Studio Technician , taken courses in Dante Audio and have ran my own business, also under the name Sound Advice which offered enhanced services to customers for several years until covid ended it all.
