Jef Feltman

To do

• Looks like Feltman's another SoA Mastering Lab employee, but that needs to be verified. Also, we need either a Mastering Lab section at SoA, or more likely a dedicated page? (Depending on how formal their "team" way.)
• Speaking of teams, Feltman looks like he's also part of Seedy Crew. Doesn't need as much verification this time (he's got direct credit), but just- see if there's a list of all Seedy Crew folks and check his name against that. But again, direct credit.

From his LinkedIn. Good stuff here, both for Feltman's history and of the details of SoA's operating practices. CartridgeCulture (talk) 01:25, 18 November 2021 (EST)
