Hi, I'm Connor! I am an experienced music production and audio engineering teacher operating out of the Fishtown area of Philadelphia. With 10+ years of experience as a music producer and recording engineer, I have an advanced understanding of modern music production skills and technologies.

I offer specialized tutoring in the areas of mixing, mastering, song composition/arrangement, sound design, audio manipulation, and audio engineering. I work with students of all skill levels, from the active music producer to those who have never opened a DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) before.

I will work with you in your chosen software and with your own equipment to help you gain competence with your own materials. I teach the majority of DAWs, including Ableton Live, Logic Pro, Pro Tools, FL Studio, Cubase, Reason, Studio One, Reaper, Bitwig, VCV Rack, and Maschine. I'm also experienced with a wide range of plugins and effects, analog modeling, modular synthesizers, pro audio, studio design/acoustics, and recording.

For remote lessons, I use Zoom with Screen Share and Remote Desktop Control, which allows me to work directly with students in their own projects if desired. I also use Audiomovers, a software that allows my students and I to share high-fidelity audio in real time from the DAW.

Outside of teaching, I work as a recording and mixing engineer at a local studio. I have worked in a wide range of genres, including electronic music, drum and bass, hip hop, psychedelic rock, indie, metal, and pop. I am also a musician myself. I release and perform experimental music under the alias Shapesift.

Thanks for considering lessons with me. I'm looking forward to hearing from you and helping you along on your audio journey. Feel free to message me with any questions or to schedule a lesson. I also offer complimentary consultation sessions to gauge if we would work well together.

Fun and educational

Connor had very helpful notes for my project, showed me techniques that resolved my issues, and breathed new life into my overall mix. Very much worth the time and highly recommend! 🔥💯✅

Knowledgeable with REASON Daw

Connor is very knowledgeable with the DAW Reason. He helped me navigate the synthesizer and clearly explained the concept of subtractive synthesis. He took the time to walk me through the various functions and knobs, making sure I understood how each one worked. Thanks to his guidance, I was able to successfully complete my homework assignment.

Awesome!!!

In this lesson, Connor and I went over a track I sent him prior to the lesson. He showed me how to clean up the low end and "fill in the sides" of the track by using reverb and delays. Connor did a great job of touching on technical concepts without taking too much time to explain them in full detail. Very happy and will be scheduling another lesson.

thoughtful and patient tutor

Connor worked with me on understanding side chain compression, glueing my mixes and understanding the bus channeling system in Logic Pro X. He was very helpful and I look forward to future lessons
