Academic Highlights

 Recordings:

     Recorded on multiple consoles such as the API 2488, SSL 9072 J series & the Neve VR-60 for multiple styles of recordings with four piece bands or more. used a variety of dynamic and condenser Microphones as well as DI boxes for tracking. I Set up microphones using multiple microphone techniques such as midside, blumlein, x-y coincident pair etc. I communicated well with the band for sound check to get proper levels into the console & Pro Tools. I used a variety of outboard processors, plugins, and channel strip processors for processing of channel & monitor paths. 


Individual Mixes:

    Once using these consoles and pro tools for recording, i used editing techniques inside of Pro Tools to clean up the recording session. Then i adjusted level and panning for each instrument to create a balanced mix. I used inserts as well as sends and returns for outboard processing from each of these consoles and Pro Tools, i also created audio subgroups/submasters.
