so now it's Xmas

Ok, so now it's Christmas time, the time of good cheer. maybe it's time to reflect on the unending contribution to your studio designs that Stuart, Soundman2020 has offered you, free of charge, throughout 2013. The donate button on my site has contributed maybe $200 throughout the year, yup really, (it goes to the data fees) yet you have all, especially some of you, received ongoing contributions from this site and Stuart to your studio designs.......... you know who you are. I would like you all to contribute to the PayPal donation button on my site and I will guarantee that the contributions will go to Stuart so he and his family can enjoy a happy Christmas for his ongoing consistent contributions to this site. He's been unrelenting over the past year in answering all your requests and he truly deserves a generous donation from all of you. Donate to my Stuart Xmas appeal by donating via the paypal link on my main page. I guarantee it will all go to Stuart and his family. Cheers john

Well said, and a much needed kick in the pants. Thanks Stuart for all the work you've put in here!

I just copied this whole post and pasted it into my thread--I hope that's ok, John. Your point is very well taken, indeed! Mark

Thanks Mark and thanks for getting the ball rolling. :)

Wow ... DONE ! Thank-you John & Stuart ... and Gullfo !!! Still celebrating my mastering room from a year ago ... everyday ! Best wishes to everyone and as always ... Thank-you! Sincerely RJHollins

I would like to make a donation. Can you please provide a link to the donate page? I can't find it! Regards Jim

Isn't it just the donate button up top on the main page? uh oh.. did I send mine to the wrong place?

You are correct - I first thought it was a separate donate page but the button at the top of the main page works fine for this. Regards Jim

Done! Some of you folks here have been extremely helpful on more than one occasion - particularly Stuart with my questions. Thanks a ton! It's a really specialized area of expertise. I wish I could "give back" by way of helping others, but I know, oh, so little... and yet I know more than most musicians about it. Without the very specialized expertise here, I really don't know where us mere mortals would turn! Thanks again! Chris

Just a very humble and heart-felt "Thank You!" from me to all who donated, and a belated "Merry Christmas!" to everyone too! I didn't really know how to respond when John first posted this, since nobody ever did anything like that for me before, so I just sort of took a low profile... I'm both humbled and a bit embarrassed by this, but also very, very grateful: extra cash around Christmas time is always welcome! (Actually, it's welcome at ANY time of the year, not just Christmas!). I certainly don't help out on the forum expecting money in return, but I sure do appreciate this gesture by John! So Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year to everyone. And also Happy New Studio!! Best regards to everyone, and thank you all, once again. - Stuart -

And a Happy New Year!

done......and many, many thanks for your time and knowledge Stuart:) I know my build wouldn't have gone how it has without your input. .....and thanks to John for the kick-in-the-pants :) steve
