Member Testimonals

​Rupert Neve, Audio Designer

​"EARS are a great audience! It's good to be aware that
people actually listen and understand what you're saying.
Many thanks for your support. All the best..."

​Diane Peyton, engineer

"I am so pleased with the way and direction EARS has grown..."

Steve Youngblood

"Thank you for an organization like EARS.
Strange how the deeper I get into recording, the more I'm looking to pick people's minds
for knowledge and ideas. To think there is an organization this city where a group of
people actually encourage that kind of conversation on a monthly basis is cause for celebration.
And your list of previous special guest speakers is off the charts.
Thanks for the knowledge and letting me feel welcome."
