<description>So...that&#039;s it? I want to catch up!! What have you been doing all these years? How is your family? Are you in touch with anyone that we worked with? I got together with a bunch of people during an AES show in NY, late 90&#039;s or so.
It was so sad, the whole thing with Eddie.
Claire

<description>hhhmmm... it is sad.  Sure, people will blame ProTools and all.  All I can say is that ProTools sure sounds a lot better when it comes out of the Hit Factory than one&#039;s living room.  Then, how good is the engineer using it?

Bottom line, it is THE ROOM that makes the difference.  Well, of course, the skill and talent of the engineer.  Mixing!  Makes all the difference in the world.  But there is no substitute for air.

The best thing about Hit Factory is that it seemed to work from an artist&#039;s point of view, not just some technicians who own a bunch of gear. 

The proof is in their output.  Quite a history!

<description>to janice,

I only learned today of Eddie&#039;s passing and I&#039;m so upset.  i hope you,re OK.

Bob died in 2000, and I am remarried and living in Naples Fl.

Bob and I loved you and your family and I feel so awful.

If you get this please drop me a line.

With love and saddness.

<description>Wow is all I can say. I know I&#039;m a little late to the point of this. But this Studio should never be forgotten. And Mr. Brent Spear I agree with you on how arguing on the internet is like winning the special olympics. But actually finding correct info is like finding a normal person who lost in the special olympics.

Anyways, I regret this happening. The spirit of The Hit Factory will live on.

<description>My family new the great Ed Germano before he bought the Hit Factory.  We were sad to here about his passing and our well wishes go out to him and his family.  EJ the tricky DJ will forever remain in our hearts along with some wonderful memories he gave me and my family.  The man who new music also new good friends and was always there when you needed him.  Hearing about the closing of the Hit Factory did not impact my life as much as hearing about Eddie&#039;s passing.  God Bless you Janice, Danielle and Troy.

Love,

Donna and Eddie
