==Aura Sonic==
In 1977, Remote established [Aura Sonic](/source/Aura_Sonic) to handle a variety of his recording duties: live albums, live television and radio broadcasts, and film and video concert remotes.<ref>Petersen, George.  The Secrets of Drum Miking: Remote Recording Engineers Speak Out. Mix Magazine, June, 1989, p. 33.</ref>  Not content with operating a conventional recording studio, he decided to create a studio on wheels so he could go to the client instead of the client going to him.  Most of what he learned about audio did not come through formal training but through hands on experience.<ref>Ciccarello, Joe. Mobile Church Audio: Good Things in Small Packages. dB Magazine, September/October 1993, p. 9.</ref>
