Mastering engineer, Bob Speer, began his audio career in in the late seventies after his education at the Moody Bible Institute 
Of Chicago.  Bob's field of study was communications and it paved the way for his career in audio.

Early in his career, Bob's main focus was recording live venues.  In addition, he spent many years in radio program production. Among others, Bob produced the very popular "Jim Kirkwood Radio Program" which aired on several Chicago radio stations

In the early eighties, Bob began to edit and restore old recordings.  As a result, his career move into mastering in 1985 was a natural next step.  He began mastering (anonymously) on a free lance basis for recording studios that offered mastering as an added service, but didn't have the proper facilities (room, monitoring, or gear) for high-end mastering.

In 1998, Bob began offering his services to the general public by opening Pro Audio RX, a mastering facility in Springfield, MO. The facility has gone through several changes over the years, including a name change to CD Mastering Services.  In addition
to his own clientele, Bob continues to master music for recording studios that offer mastering as an added service.

Bob's work in radio makes him extremely qualified to produce music that's truly radio friendly.  Much of today's music is over produced because of the Master Loud For Radio Myth that has created so much confusion on the subject.
