Lynn Fuston

Before his 10-year tenure at Sweetwater (2015-2026), Lynn Fuston spent 37 years behind recording consoles in dozens of studios in Nashville, as well as doing remote recordings around the globe. He's been a contributing writer/editor for magazines such as EQ, ProSound News, Audio Media and Pro Audio Review since the '90s. His studio work on Gold and Platinum-selling records with iconic Christian artists such as Amy Grant, Michael W. Smith, DC Talk, Russ Taff, Twila Paris, Kathy Troccoli, and countless others gave him a unique perspective on the artistry and technology of recording. He also produced the world-renowned 3D Audio CDs, which allowed listeners to compare mics, preamps, analog-to-digital converters, DAWs, and summing, enabling listeners to hear the differences in their own studio. At Sweetwater he conducted over 30 shootouts. Until his retirement in 2026, Fuston was the Manager of Written Content for Sweetwater's inSync articles.
