RSR530 – David Streit – Pro Recording Techniques, Acoustic Music, and Teaching Sound Engineering
Description
What do drum mics, bluegrass, and Pro Tools have in common? Find out as David Streit shares 35+ years of studio wisdom, from Quad Studios to acoustic sessions, and why trusting musicians might be your best mic technique yet.
My guest today is David Streit, a recording engineer, producer, mixer, and live sound engineer based in Portland, Oregon. With over 35 years of experience, he started mixing live shows in his hometown of Louisville, Kentucky, before refining his recording skills in Nashville. He later freelanced in Nashville and Santa Cruz before settling in the Pacific Northwest.
David holds a recording degree from Middle Tennessee State University and interned at The Aspen Music Festival, learning classical mic’ing techniques. His career spans assisting at Quad Studios, teaching multi-track recording, and working in location sound.
Thanks to MTSU for the introduction where we were both students!
