Among Steve's many life goals, owning an incredible home studio to record his own music was at the top. Drums, percussion, digital piano, guitar, vocals, etc., he wanted the ability to record it all. Prior to our meeting, Steve started his path to achieving this goal by purchasing some quality recording gear and software. He discovered that setting up the gear wasn't too difficult, but operating the software was a different story. It's no secret that Pro Tools, his DAW (digital audio workstation) of choice is a complicated software. So this is where I came in. After spending months studying to become a Pro Tools certified operator, I was well-equipped to work with Steve to get him up and running.

​

Over our weekly two-hour meetings,  Steve and I explored Pro Tools in its entirety. From basic navigation to recording his first song, we walked through all the steps needed to achieve his goals properly. If you explore the project highlights on either my mixing or mastering pages, you'll see that Steve and I have partnered on multiple projects over the years. Combining our varied musical talents with my engineering skills has resulted in some incredible project outcomes that we are both extremely proud of. Although his lesson plan has successfully concluded and he has the ability to work on his own terms, we have established a long list of exciting projects to keep us busy for years to come.
