Travis Devin
I have been a Location Sound Mixer, Sound Designer, Re-Recording Mixer, and Composer working in the high-paced Television and Film Industry for over a decade. I have experience recording and mixing audio in a wide variety of environments including commercial studios and professional sound stages as well as dynamic exterior locations including below freezing temperatures and high elevation as well as high humidity maritime and coastal environments.
As a musician, I wrote music for large and small ensembles and created plenty of large MIDI orchestrations in Pro Tools, Logic, and Cubase. My main instrument is saxophone and I have played in small jazz combos and big bands as well as symphony orchestras and rock bands. I enjoy playing my baritone the most.
Here at Sweetwater, I use my years of experience to help people achieve their music and recording goals. I look forward to helping you find the gear that will help you get you the perfect recording or sound you are looking for!
As your personal contact here at Sweetwater, please let me know anytime I can offer help or advice.

What in your background prepared you most to help your customers with their audio needs?
Working in the Film Industry, I learned how to record audio in a variety of unforgiving environments. I also learned how to write and record music under tight deadlines and varying budgets. This experience led me to really appreciate equipment that can solve problems and continue doing so without any downtime. It is always my goal to apply this to my customers by finding what will solve their problems, find that sound that they are looking for, or help them achieve their musical goals.
