About me

I believe I have the skills required for this position through almost ten years experience in audio , with three of them being audio technology intensive focus through university.

My interest in Audio Engineer dates back to 8 years ago, when I bought my first home

recorder just a year after starting to play guitar. It was a Zoom MRS-8. I made home

recordings of instruments, voices and various noises for years.

In university I discovered the power of computer based technologies. Skills I developed

from three years of studies include:

- An in depth knowledge of Pro Tools and Ableton Live.

- Audio editing techniques, such as splicing, duplicating and trimming. The music I

create is often both sample based, which has allowed me to develop these techniques,

and live instrument, voice and sound based, which has developed my audio capturing

skills.

- Some assignments and work completed in the past few years include a radio

presenting assignment, recording a live music E.P and placing audio and foley

sounds to a given video clip. Such work has given me a knowledge of how to

regulate volume levels and sound quality during sessions, mic placement techniques,

mixdown techniques and developed my overall "ear" for achieving great results.

- I feel at home surrounded by audio technologies. During university I was given the

opportunity to work with numerous pieces of equipment. The mixing console I had

the most experience with from this time was the Audient ASP 8024. This comprised

of 80 inputs with 24 outputs, multi-band channel eqs, 12 Aux buses, talkback option,

in-built preamp and compressor, amongst many other various features.

I also have had extensive use of the Alesis HD24 24 track hard disk recorder.

Some mics I had the opportunity to use here were the classic Shure SM57/58s,

Neumann KM As, amongst many various others from companies like AKG and

Sennheiser

- I have a knowledge of technical terms related to sound engineering, such as:

balanced/unbalanced inputs, microphone patterns, equipment names, dB etc.

Some equipment I currently own myself include Native Instruments Komplete Audio 6,

Akai APC40 , various guitars, keyboards and piano, Audio Technica ATHM50 Headphones

and KRK Rokit 5 speakers.
