"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.

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.
