In Frankfurt with Matthias working on bottling up 25 kilos of grapes from the garden into juice.
9/1/26
Arrived into Deutschland and met up with Matthias. The next day. we drove south to Haslach in Beyern where he has a family place there. An amazing place.
We also went to Fussen ... an amazing town that's full of history and beauty.
Our last day we went to Tannheim in the Austrian Alps, where we rode the Saalbahn up the mountain to an outlook that has to be seen to be believed.

At this point in my life
Well, I'm now not only approaching 70, I'm facing head-on several milestones in my life that I've been working on (or putting off) for practically ever.
First off, I've just finished ALL of the stereo mixes of all of my work and the 5.1 surround mixes of most of the larger projects. This is a biggie for me as I'm one of those that is perpetually trying to improve my mixes. In the end, its process that isn't good for the creative of personal soul ... so, I'm done! These works can be best found, as ever, on bandcamp https://davidmileshuber.bandcamp.com ... Go ahead and take a listen.
There are several other huge goals that I'm working on ... one is making both Europe and the US our home. If I don't do this in the next few years ... I probably never will ... and that just won't do. The second, I'm keeping as my personal secret (it's a don't jinx it kinda thing). So far, only one person has noticed, but after a whille it'll be impossible not to notice. If you do notice, feel free to let me know ...
So, yes, it is a time of change ...
Hugs, DMH

1. So ... bin ich gerade vom einen draum aufgewacht. Wir war alle In wien mit die Familie. Und war in einen Haus das ein bisschen grandios war ... Grosses Zimmern usw. Dann einen Mann sagte "komm mit mir". Dann sind wir durch einen lang corridoren das war auf Ton (laar) gemacht war. Durch und durch. Plötzlich waren wir in einen grosses zimmer das so natural aber schon war das ich hatte so hart geweint.
2. Dann, wären wir (ohne dich) in einen Haus das sehr schon war. Und ich war fur dich warten. Alles ok war , wann du durch die tur kamm. Dann hatten wir, arm in arm entlang eine Strass gelauft bis zum eine Kirche. Es war ganz voll mit Leuten... aber ... ich tragte keinen Kleidungen (es gehts oft so in meinem dreume) .... THOMAS! es ist nicht erlaubt in eine Kirche ohne Kleidung an zu gehen. Dann war ich aufgewacht... ich liebe dich, schatz .... DaD

7. Auch so, nach einen paar Jahren konnten Thomas und ich könnten wir darüber nachdenken, einen Bauernhof in Österreich zu kaufen?
In late 2021, I decided to begin the process of going back and remixing/remastering my works. The process began with the installation of new speakers in a full 5.1.4 setup that uses the JBL Series 305 speakers. Their small and not as transparent to what I'm used to, but you can easily and rather accurately hear what's going on in your mix ... I'm loving the results.
Also, in recent times, I've gotten much better at mastering my music, using my improved basic approach in the final mix chain and then pulling off of the final limiter by a fixed amount (1.5dB less than my normal amount) to make sure that the life stays in the mixes.

02/2013:
OK … I figure it’s best that I enter my Grammy experiences in the form of a post (so I can update it, as I remember more things). First off, the last week literally feels like 3 weeks. No seriously, we’re pretty much toast after a driving West Coast tour.
To start off, our performance at the Figueroa Hotel was awesome. As usual, it would’ve been nice to have more bodies. But the pool location was awesome and the “Fig” was its usual gorgeous self. My buddy Maurice from PMC rented a pair of super-professional JBL speakers that sounded beyond killer, the bass the high … all were balanced perfectly to give lots of power, while allowing the crowd to talk (the mark of a true hi-end pro system). Lastly, Marcell and I are doing something right, in that every time we play, we get asked back to do a more prominent headline night. Next year, we’re hoping to Play the Fig on Friday before the Grammy telecast.
Next up was the Village Recorders party in Hollywood. IT ROCKED! I was totally afraid that I wouldn’t know anybody … turns out I kept running into buddies from all over the world! Way cool! Hollywood, networking and having fun at its finest!
The Nominee party at the Wilshire Ebell is always a highlight. The nominees were all decked out in tuxes and amazing dresses, having just received our medals. The lifetime achievement awards at the Ebell included tributes to Patti Page and other luminaries, but I particularly love the 30 year tribute to MIDI … Happy 30th Birthday MIDI!
AND THEN … there was the big day! I didn’t win in my category (surround), but some dear friends did. fact is, I don’t feel bad at all, as I was included in a group that are all super-dedicated, hard-working and good-hearted! … It’s an honor to be nominated with such awesome people!
The big night was also a blast … Dan and I were seated (for the fist time) on the main floor. Life is VERY different down there … as luck would have it, we were placed at a point where all the stars had to pass by to get to the main stage from the front. Starts like Sting, Adelle, Dave Groll of the Foo Fighters, Rihanna, Ellen Degeneres … they all “had” to walk within 2 feet of us. Johnny Depp and Elton John were at the end of the isle (30 feet away) … lots of fun!
To top it off, I was sitting with major engineers (all of us are PMC clients with Maurice)… turns out I was sitting next to Tony Maserati, a very well known engineer. I didn’t know it was him, so I had the honor of getting to know the man and not the name… what a sweet guy! Definitely looking forward to next year!
