Experience

My father in law is a true survivor, a no nonsense kinda guy. He broke a tooth a little while ago, a molar. He picked up the tooth, dried it out with an air-compressor, applied a little super-glue and got on with his day. I'm not that kinda guy. I'd rather go to a dentist - someone who's been fixing teeth day-in and day-out for decades. With over 1000 albums mastered as a specialising mastering engineer over the last 10 years, I hope you can see the potential benefits of my experience too.
