How do they get the sound in?
It’s more work than you think
I
n my August 2012 column
, I discussed how to get the
sound out of your locomotive – good acoustic principles.
That got me thinking about the process of getting the sounds
into the decoders. Having spent many days in Durango with the
SoundTraxx folks, I decided to let you sit in on a discussion with
the two founders and owners of SoundTraxx.
MRH:
I know you two were the founders of SoundTraxx. What
are your current roles in the company?
ST:
We each retain 50% ownership in the company, with no
other shareholders or investors. Steve Dominguez serves as
CEO and Chief Engineer, guiding all product development
and manufacturing. Nancy Workman serves as Vice President
and guides the sales and marketing efforts, also overseeing
the general day-to-day business that includes accounting and
human resources. Corporate decisions are made jointly.
