The Scene Who's New at Megatrax
Megatrax recently welcomed two new Sales Reps to the company:

Rich Samalin (above left) joins the A/V division and is based in New York City. He's available to assist any east coast accounts if necessary. Rich is new to Sales but not new to Megatrax; he's been composing for us for years.

Dan Larkin (above right) comes to our Radio division from over 20 years in the radio industry as an executive producer, director of affiliate relations and on-air personality.

    Client Spotlight
"The Adventures of Captain Hudson: The Lost Mines Paradise," an original audio mini-series from Audio Cinema Entertainment (ACE), uses dynamic music provided by Megatrax to underscore this stylish 1930s Adventure.

ACE partners Ron Grigsby and Tim Knofler have created, what could be, the next serial adventure franchise that would easily transfer to the big screen. The first of many shows to come from ACE, it boasts a compelling story, talented cast, digital sound effects and a fully orchestrated music score provided by Megatrax, with additional source music composed by Producer/Actor Ron Grigsby.

Since the show's release in October 2004, all reviews have been quite favorable, with many noting the outstanding quality of the music. Knofler commented, "We were treated like kings at Megatrax. Whenever we get to the next episode, our first stop will be Megatrax."
