HI Bob K.

BTW, That’s the famous Tony Bongiovi who built Power Station!
He worked with Glenn Zelniker to design weird DSP that would make truly horrible car radio systems sound less horrible when inserted into the line.  Other than that, yuck!

best,
Bob

He wants to sell me his process for use in "lower class" mastering where the client can't afford my personal service. That would be so wrong in so many ways... would not sell my service at all, only undersell my service.

I can see a place for the Bongiovi approach only in a noise-sensing environment such as a car with a microphone to sense the noise---- but without noise sensing, this is just marketing b.s. from my point of view.
