Arjun @ 3 Cat Studio

About Me

3 Cat Studio is mainly used to mix tracks, work with small artists looking to track or mix a demo. With the recent relocation to Germany in October 2008, studio work has been on hiatus until proper conditions allow for reopening. Most of the tracking and mixing at 3 Cat Studio is done on Digidesign Pro Tools 7.3.1cs6 or Logic Studio 8.0.1, with M-Audio's ProjectMix I/O at the control. A variety of instruments are also available for the local artist to use, if necessary. The list of songs featured are just some of the tremendous talent that I have been fortunate enough to work with over the past few years. Please make sure to visit their profiles below and add them as friends.
About the Engineer:
I grew up in Orange County, California and attended and graduated from the Conservatory of Recording Arts & Sciences in Arizona to pursue a career in audio production. I moved to Nashville, Tennessee to get into the music business, but ended up taking a year long break, working on music on the side. I kept coming back to audio production, which is what I love. I have engineered on large format analog consoles, such as the SSL 4056 G+, Neve VR and NEOtek Elite, as well as digital formats, such as Digidesign Control|24, Digidesign ProControl, Digidesign 002, Digidesign Pro Tools (TDM, LE & M-Powered), and Apple Logic Pro 7 & 8. In my spare time, you can usually find me mixing tracks or pickin' a guit-ar. I've played the guitar for the past 12 years and can help supplement some guitar tracks if you need them. I'm also an Audio Engineer at District Entertainment in Alexandria, VA. I also teach audio production and Digidesign Pro Tools at District Entertainment and work with a lot of hip-hop artists, as well as jazz, r&b, rock, you name it.
