Very cool. I would like to be in on this. Please send me more info…. Thanks!
Thumbs up.
I’d be interested as well (thanks for the info mike d.).
keep me posted.
this is a great opportunity.
thanks for putting this together.
I am interested in this course. I will be out of town the day of the first week (Mar 22), but I’m still excited about the course. Thanks! And thanks to Mike Detmer for letting me know about this.
I’m in…at least for most of the classes.
Thanks Dave.
PS…very interested
I noted Dave Cupp’s issues over at CincyMusic, and we’ll discuss arrangements for “make up” work, as well as other matters here.
I will be contacting everyone who has signed up privately as well, but I want to make sure you know we know you’re here, and say “hey! welcome aboard”…

This sounds great, I would love to be part of it. Please let me know where you plan on having the meetings and if their are still openings. Maybe Mike Detmer, Darin and I can have a Vibrating Needle super-session. I’ll ask Ben Walpole in wants to participate as well, and maybe he, Darin andf I can and we can carpool since we’re all so close.
Man…I made a lot of typos!
I’m on board for this. Looks like a pretty positive response.
myself and my friend Cindy are BOTH in, that’s 2 (two) signups here, thanks and looking forward to it
Awesome folks… it looks like a go. Welcome aboard all.

I had hoped to have payment and reservation details complete by today, but we’re still working them out… look in your email and here for an official announcement, hopefully by Sunday.
Thanks for your patience!

Hey, did the details go out? I haven’t seen anything.
The details went out moments ago… a full week late! My apologies for the false alarm. It took me a minute to get paypal set up the way it needed to be (delay on me and word press, not PayPal!).
If you signed up here and didn’t get a sign-up email, let me know and I’ll resend asap.
Once you sign up, your spot is golden. In the event all the instructors are struck by lightening, or the studio is invaded by locusts, or the program doesn’t happen for ANY other reason, your deposit will be refunded.
I didn’t get anything yet Dave.
I’d like a golden spot if possible.
Thanks.
hmmm… that’s odd! I just resent! Sorry for the delay.

Hello,
I am a designer of audio equipment (both pro and consumer) and own my own DAW. For my own enjoyment, I have composed and arranged some of my own music, and multi-track recorded a few times, as well. However, I lack the experience to know how to optimize mic placement/use and how to mix. Your course is exactly what I need! Please sign me up if there is room and let me know how to send payment.
If I missed it, please advise when the next session will be.
Thanks,
Brian Dotson
Brian,
I will forward a reservation to you, but we are very close to filling up, so it will be first come-first served…
there are a couple people above who asked for reservations earlier, but have yet to respond to the deposit, so if you get there first, the seat’s yours.
-d-
That’s good step.Step by step,Everything will be perfect!
We’re full-up with paid deposits I believe for this round… we will be doing it again though, either the same and/or different!
-d-
only two weeks away…!
So what’s the deal with the workshop? I’m assuming it starts this Thursday…perhaps an email with details could go out to confirmed attendees?
Hi Mark,
actually, you should have received 2 emails with this information already, as you’re a confirmed attendee. The latest going out this morning, around the time you posted this!
If you’re still not getting it let me know here, and include a different email address (I might be getting caught in your spam filter?).
Thanks!

hello,
don’t know how I missed the final sign up ?
is the class full ? I wanted to sign jeremy up for it . I know you take paypal.
let me know.

Hey Dana,
I sent an email with all this but the short version: we’re actually OVER full (based on goals) and into the 3rd week of the program already. We will surely do this again once this round is complete, so hang tight and I’ll make sure you’re on the list if we missed you!
-d-
I see I waited too long to start perusing the cincymusic boards and missed this movement by a couple of months. If you’d be interested in doing another session, consider me in right now.
Hello
I can’t be bothered with anything these days, but shrug. I just don’t have anything to say recently.
G’night
very interesting, but I don’t agree with you
