I'm new here. Let's mix some audio!
I am a sound engineer with experience in various fields. I worked in a live sound, theater, radio and recording studio. Currently, I focus on TV sound, where I produce live programmes or record and do post-production.
I'm proficient with EBU loudness standards.
I'm used to remote (and very fast) workflow used in radio and TV production.
