Wow… this is like morning circle at therapy or something LOL

I’ve been here a while but never introduced myself so better late than never I suppose. Name’s Chris, my user name is the result of a nickname from years ago. Been meaning to change it but never got around to it. Started playing in the early 90s and did the band thing but then decided it was time to get myself a career so pursued music recording. I worked in a few recording studios, one Big, the others were small. I then decided to move to NYC to try my luck in Sound design for Film because I started to notice that studios were getting smaller as the recording equipment became more affordable. I saw an open market in the Tech support side of things so now I work in tech support for Avid and Protools systems and that has also proved to be the right decision as I have survived many layoff waves brought on by things like writers strikes and what not and been able to support my family.

I still play but now as a hobby. Had a bit of a forced hiatus when I had all my gear in my car in Queens NY, packing it up to move and while I was inside perps took the whole damn car… yes it was locked. They didn’t get my Partscaster but they got everything else. It had a lot of sentimental value but was a bit of a POS build as I had no idea what I was doing. When I decided to fix it up and get it playing good, I came here for tips and it has been a great place to find expert opinions talk shop. Great people and very knowledgeable folks too.

Cheers

If you got to the bottom I commend you… I debated whether or not to dump my story here.
