Darius Beatz
I have been involved in producing, songwriting, recording, mixing, mastering, and live sound for over 15 years strong, in a variety of genres, and have had the pleasure of working with some big-name clients in the industry. I quickly learned the ins and outs while working as an audio engineer in many large commercial facilities as well as in small project studios.
I am a professional producer and audio engineer who has been trained on both analog and digital technologies. I assure you that I understand how important it is to get you the right gear, and I would love to help you with that!
As your personal contact here at Sweetwater, please let me know anytime I can offer help or advice.
