Luke's Music Lessons (Production)

Years of Experience: 3 Location Options: In Studio Age Groups: Children, Young Adult Instruments Taught: Record Engineer Produce Overview: I am a graduate of Boston University's Center for Digital Imaging Arts (CDIA) where I studied audio engineering and its many aspects like microphone techniques, mixing, mastering, sound design, live sound, signal flow, etc. I am experienced with multiple DAWs and music software such as Pro Tools, Logic, Abletone Live, and Reason, as well as with both analog and digital boards and hardware. My recording experience ranges from everything from Hip Hop and Jazz to Rock and Pop and I am very open to new styles and ideas. In addition to engineering and mixing, I create and produce Hip Hop (as well as produce other genres) and occasionally work on post production and sound design for film. I moved to Florida from Boston at a young age and because of the vast Hip-Hop scene that I was suddenly immersed in, it wasn't long before I began wanting to rap too and create and record my own music. In early high school I bought my first mic second hand; a cheap USB Samson CO1u, and with a couple of friends, and we began to create our own god-awful music. Then in the summer before my senior year of high school, my mother suggested I take a class relative to my interests in order to help me figure out my impending path out of high school, so I took up a 2-week high school summer course offered by the same Boston University campus I later ended up attending. From the first day I stepped into one of their studios, I fell in love with the environment and atmosphere, and before the course ended, I had decided what career path I wanted to pursue for the rest of my life.
