About the Job

You’ll need to be comfortable working with all of these, and able to build rapport with a wide range of people.

You will have a detailed knowledge of Pro Tools and Source Connec t, and will be familiar with other options for producers to remotely direct sessions.

You will be a team player with first class communication skills and a calm, logical manner, creating a stress-free environment and setting a warm and relaxed atmosphere for our talent to produce the best performance. Most of all, you will be highly professional, passionate about recording, be able to multitask and think on your feet whilst continuing to meet the expectations of demanding clients.
