About
Hi, my name is Zach Elders and I am from Dallas, TX. Having grown up in a musical family, I have been a life long musician. I am most proficient on piano and drums. At a young age I took piano lessons... , played various percussive instruments in Marcus Highschool's Drumline, and played drumset at Vista Ridge United Methodist Church. Not long after that, I embarked on my path to become an audio engineer. Originally, I chose this path to produce my own music but found passion in all aspects of digital audio. This includes sound design and mixing and mastering for music, TV, film, and video games. I quickly became known as a source of knowledge for colleagues and students at MediaTech Institute and found a an even greater passion for teaching others what I have spent years demystifying. In short, I love seeing the lightbulb come on and giving others the knowledge and tools needed for other to become successful in the audio industry.read more
