Got it fixed. Sorry for the delay... I just now noticed I had a message from you. You can tell how much I pay attention !!. Hope all is well with you Leon, and with your family. You have 13 friends.... I have one. I guess I need to be more sociable. Ha. Ha. Talk to you soon.. Donnie

Actually, I think the 2nd befriending was an accident.
But in any case, I've been out of the business for a long time, so I don't know how worthy my advice would be. With the advent of cheap digital recording, many recording studios have closed, but soundtrack mixing is a whole other ball of wax. The problem is that the major studios only produce a few hundred films per year and there's a few thousand TV shows a year. So the market is very small. But if this is what you want to do, I'd say go for it. (It's what I wanted to do and I never really got to do it much - the recording I did was not for movies, except for sound effects.) One thing you need to do whether it's on your own or via a formal education is to get very familiar with ProTools. And you also need to be very familiar with film mixing: for starters, get the book by Tom Holman.

Thank you once again. Computer went crazy - still haven't figured out what happened. You're not going crazy... it's just deja vu.

dude, this is strange-- i thought that your name seemed familiar-- I had already accepted a friendship request from you on Dec 24th... somehow you were "checked off" on my friends list!! lol anyway, you're back on now!!

thanks for the friend request in2video2.. I don't talk much back and forth on these things but it's always good to add another friend-- I see you're a James Bond fan? My avatar is my favorite movie, but the Bond series is my favorite movie series of all time!
