Hi! I’m Dice, and I’m passionate about music production, audio engineering, and all things related to sound. With over 30 years of experience, I’ve honed my skills in various aspects of audio, and I’m excited to share my knowledge with you.

I was first exposed to the wonderful world of audio in high school. This led me to a formal education at the Institute of Audio Research where I graduated at the top of my class. Armed with a solid foundation in audio theory and practical skills, I landed at the legendary Unique Recording Studios in New York City, where I honed my craft alongside industry professionals. Eager to explore new horizons, I transitioned into audio software development. As a tester and feature designer for Avid Pro Tools, I helped enhance one of the most widely used DAWs. I not only gained expert knowledge of Pro Tools, but also an understanding of the needs, workflows, and solutions for a wide array of users across the industry.

Customized Lessons - I believe in tailoring lessons to meet each student’s unique needs.
Conceptual Understanding - While tips and tricks are valuable, I emphasize conceptual understanding, because it empowers you to tackle any audio challenge, regardless of the tools. I’ll guide you through the “why” behind each technique.
Active Listening - Your ears are your greatest tools. We’ll train them to discern nuances in mixes.

How Can I Help You?
Technical Queries - Stuck on signal routing or latency? I'll demystify the complexities.
Mastering Mixes - Not sure what to listen for? We’ll dissect tracks.
Creative Exploration - Go beyond the technical and explore sound design and genre-blending. I’ll help you find your unique voice.

Wherever you are on your musical journey, let me join you. Learning should be fun - let’s make some noise!

Music Production

Music Production

I am formerly a Pro Tools product designer and tester at Avid which not only required deep knowledge of the particular DAW, but also a solid background in basic audio processing concepts, historical and trending methodologies and technology, and a wide understanding of the needs and workflows of different users in the audio production industry. I also have been producing music and audio engineering in various capacities over the years, from releasing original compositions and collaborative works to post production to mix and mastering. Finally, I have a long track record of teaching engineering skills to recording studio staff and students (privately and in classroom settings), as well as leading internal trainings at Avid.
