I have begun teaching at Berklee College of Music this fall as an assistant professor. I am in the Music Production and Engineering (MP&E) department. I teach Critical Listening, Accelerated Pro Tools, Audio and MIDI Systems for Music Production, Mix Techniques 2. Amazing faculty, enthusiastic students, great facilities. I enjoy every moment of it. Here is the link to my faculty bio page.
Carol Bartlett’s Project
Started working on acoustic singer-songwriter Carol Bartlett’s project. She has a bunch of country songs she has written and that need arrangement and production. Great stuff coming soon!

New Release!
Recording at the Record Company
I recently had the pleasure of recording for Lucas Bun a great singer. Moreover, we had the one and only Larry Watson as the producer, Utar Artun was the arranger and also on the piano. We had two long days at The Record Company – Boston where we tracked 14 songs. The rest of the line up was made up of drums, percussion, electric and acoustic bass, electric guitar, saxophone, trumpet, and harmonica. We used Studio A’s main room and both of the booths at the same time. We recorded live to Pro Tools, only overdubbed the wind instruments. The project is currently at editing process. Get ready for an exciting mixture of Latin and R&B.
Visiting Artist at Berklee
I will be teaching as a visiting artist in Professional Music department at Berklee College of Music next monday. Excited!

Melda’s plugs
MeldaProduction create some of the best (and most complicated) plug-ins out there! I am a long time fan of their MAutoDynamicEQ. It has great sounding filters, a superb dynamic mode and as with many of their plug-ins, a great spectrum analyzer. They also have a load of free stuff, so you should definitely check’em out.
