Most of what I do is my own work which tends to be very easy to deal with. The documents I've been writing focus on controling loudness. I'm going to keep that slant going but it's obvious that fixing audio is an interesting topic. Probably one that I don't know much about. If you've ever want me to document one of your jobs that requires interesting strategies tar it up.
