What’s the best thing about being an audio engineer?

Seeing and hearing something created from an idea or a couple of chords on a guitar, piano. Then in a few hours, or days hearing a completed song. The pay off is hearing a song on the radio, tv or seeing the video online.

What’s the worst thing about being an audio engineer?

The Hours. The hours can be and are kind of crazy sometimes. Not much downtime when im working on a project or projects.

What did you think when we contacted you regarding Liberty 2 Pro and why did you agree to work with us?

I was open to the idea of continuing the conversation. What sold me was hearing older versions of the Souncore series and really enjoying them. And I am still using some of the older products especially for traveling and noise cancellation when on a plane.

When you first heard Liberty 2 Pro in its final form what did you think?

WOW !! This is BIG. !!!

Have your impressions of Liberty 2 Pro changed or have you noticed anything new?

I have been really enjoying using them from day to day. I love the way the LIBERTY PRO 2 sound and how comfortable they fit in the ear.

The guys in this series of audio engineers remind me of football OG and OT. They do not get all the glory that the QB, WR and RB may get but are responsible for making them look ordinary to great.

Thanks for some great work for clients

These are starting to run together a bit. I get the point, but might be time to branch out to more professions.
