My name is Colin Christian and I am a producer, mixer, and engineer with 18 years of professional studio experience as well as a musician of over 30 years. I aim to share my years of real-world exper... ience with other musicians, engineers, and producers in order to help them build a flexible and effective production style for themselves and the artists they work with in the future. I firmly believe the best way to learn this art form is to practice, experiment, and share ideas with others in the field. Having worked everywhere from top-tier recording studios to living rooms and abandoned warehouses, I have acquired a set of techniques and thought processes that can apply to any recording platform, any genre, and any situation you may find yourself in. Achieving the goals and visions of the project should never be held back by the physical limitation of gear and space, but realized with imagination & skill. My teaching style is adapted to each student and their unique needs. Music Production is not a "one size fits all" proposition, and the process of learning isn't either. My lesson plans will focus on communication, self-examination, creative problem-solving, and technical comprehension. Whether for personal, professional, or academic purposes, I aim to help all creatives achieve their goals in a sustainable and satisfying way. read more
