Cutting Engineer Wanted- Nashville

Not sure where to post this, so if needs to be moved please let me know:

I own an all analog recording studio in Nashville, TN aptly named "Welcome To 1979". We're adding a lacquer cutting room in the coming months and are looking for an experienced cutter to head up the lacquer cutting duties. I have been talking with a few people; but wanted to explore all potential options before making a final decision.

If you are, or know someone who may be interested in such a position please email me at chris (at) welcometo1979 (dot) com

You can learn more about the studio at http://www.welcometo1979.com and/or http://www.facebook.com/welcometo1979

Thanks in advance,

Chris Mara

What sort of lathe, cutterhead and electronics will you be running?

Just curious.

This would so be my dream gig if I wasn't on the other side of the continent in a completely different country, and had any stereo cutting experience, or for that matter experience on equipment newer than 1950. :roll:

Hmmm. Now I know why you guys wanted a tour of my cutting room so badly. Looking for knowledge on setting up your own. You could have mentioned that instead of being sneaky about it...

Hey Deep Grooves, sorry you thought my intention was to be sneaky. As I explained in my initial email to you, the tour was part of our Chicago Tape Camp where we bring 6 or so local recording engineers to tour a unique facility.

http://www.welcometo1979.com/Tape_Camps.html

The goal is to heighten awareness of the business we tour, not for me to sneakily mine knowledge. As luck would have it, we found a wonderful facility to tour and you simply missed out on a chance to showcase your business to others in the industry.

Now, can we get back to the subject at hand? Is anyone looking for a job?

Lol. My cuts speak for themselves. No tour required.

If you're interested, you coukd certainly hire me to train someone to run your lathe.
