Berklee College of Music graduate - Audio Engineering, 9+ years

Andrew A.

I graduated from Berklee College of Music with a degree in Music Production & Engineering, with a specialty in commercial record production, live sound (FOH), and recording miking techniques. I have Dante, Focusrite RedNet, and Recording Academy certifications. My education has allowed me to run front of house for music festivals with over 44,000 attendees.

I've spent 3 years in mentoring audio engineering students in Boston on signal processing flows, how to work DAWs like Pro Tools, Logic Pro X, Ableton, etc., mixing, production techniques & software, and the basics of studio consoles and synth hardware.

My teaching style focusses & adapts 100% to the student and their personal interests or career trajectory. My goal is to learn where you are in your audio engineering journey, explore your dreams/goals for the future, and structure your lesson plan around you! And if you don't quite know what you want, my lesson plan can provide broad exposure to all forms of audio engineering as we build your foundational knowledge and discover where your passions lie.

Foundational Lesson Plan:
DAW fundamentals (Ableton/Logic/Pro Tools)
recording/miking techniques,
MIDI and sound design,
mixing (EQ, compression, effects),
introduction to mastering.
critical listening, workflow optimization, and real-world industry practices to create and finish professional-quality tracks.

Lessons are for: all ages, pre-college students, those beginning to enter the music industry workforce, and those simply looking to lay a foundation of knowledge to build a career on.
