Hi Roy and Pennie,
I don’t know if you remember me, I’m Steve Cronen and own Starbeat Advertising and Starbeat Studios in Deerfield, Illinois, a suburb of Chicago. This is now our fifty-first year in business. Your books and advice are so right on target I suggest to most of our employees and many people interested in our industry to read them.
I was just concerned about your personal situation and the Wizard Academy hearing about all the weather problems affecting Texas and especially the Austin area. Having a first-class recording facility (and having won 65 national production awards and counting) I would be most happy to help you, at no-charge, if you need temporary recording facilities. Although it would not surprise me if you have your own backup power generator.
Please stay safe and just let me know if I can help.
– Steve Cronen
Steve,
Thank you for your email! I deeply appreciate your offer of services. Fortunately, when Covid started, my producer Dave Nevland moved our studio into his home and we purchased USB mics for all the voice talent. I’m about to replace my USB mic with a new Brauner Valvet in an attempt to restore the sound quality we enjoyed earlier.
It’s good to know that I have friends like you out there, Steve.
