Education Background

Employment History

While attending college, I worked full-time at various SoCal aerospace companies as a digital test technician.

My first studio job was in 1969 at an Orange County studio and later I moved to West Hollywood to start at Larrabee Sound Studios around 1970. As a first engineer, recorded and mixed my first gold record in 1972 at Larrabee and I was able to start working as a freelance engineer from then onward.

I started teaching audio engineering part-time in 2010 at Pinnacle college Alhambra and later at Musicians Institute, Hollywood until 2019.

I enjoy giving one-on-one mixing lessons here at my Tones 4 $ Studios in North Hollywood, CA

Related Experience

I started writing for music magazines in about 1987 at Music Connection Magazine. In about 1997, I started also writing technical equipment reviews for George Petersen at Mix Magazine and continue to be published in both those journals nearly ever month.

I am an Instructional Designer and write courses and tutorials and various technical articles for Sonarworks and other Web sites in addition to my own barryrudolph.com.
