Audio. Video. Production. Business.

Welcome musicians and audio geeks alike.

I’m Nathan E Adam and this site is full of content and videos I’ve produced to help you learn Pro Tools, learn recording, and learn mixing.

In case we haven’t met, I’ve been an Audio and Video producer for over a decade, and have been blessed with some amazing opportunities. As a kid from Kansas who dreamed of a great career in the music industry, this site is my opportunity to give back some of the production tricks & techniques I’ve picked up along the way.

My career started at the venerable Sweetwater.com, and I’ve spent the last 10 years teaching at some of the largest audio production degrees in the country (Belmont University and Middle Tennessee State University).

From starting a multi-studio Pro Tools HD facility, to producing, editing and working with unbelievable artists and producers on dozens of TV shows, books and instructional videos, I know that if the doors could open for me, they can open for absolutely anyone.

Enjoy these videos. Share them. Whatever. I’ve made them for the future great artists and engineers who want to develop the skills to make great records.

Sign up for the email list or add the RSS feed to keep up, and thanks for joining us. 🙂
