Background

About Darren Smith

I follow my passion for Music as a successful Audio Mastering Engineer and Educator in the field of Music Industry. In every role I’ve undertaken I’ve learnt that collaboration is key and I’ve been able to develop my passion for helping and supporting others through my role as a Mastering Engineer and Educator. This has enabled me to work closely with inspiring and up and coming talents as well as collaborate, share knowledge, advice and experience with those learning Music Production practices. Music has been the one constant passion for me from a very early age, whether by playing guitar, singing at a local karaoke (badly) or by just listening to my favourite songs. But over the last decade I’ve been driven to create and help others to create music and learnt many skills from Song writing, Recording, Mixing and Mastering. In addition to my role as an Educator and Engineer I am also a specialist in the realm of Video Conferencing, and the setting up of Video Conferences between OBS (Open Broadcast Software) and various Conferencing software. This is a global service I offer through Fiverr.com so if you use any Video Conferencing Software and need help setting up OBS, then I can support with this matter. This has most definitely been a journey as I have learnt fresh skills from running an audio business, learning about the music industry, modern mastering methods, content creation, video capture and editing, website design, marketing and many more besides. But one thing I have been able to do is to develop my ability to help others through education. I have amassed lots of skills and experiences by teaching, shadowing and mentoring others through my roles and I’m now able to harness those skills further by producing weekly educational content. So, whilst it’s been a journey, I have loved every minute and one thing I have definitely learnt is that everything is achievable if you put your mind to it, and my journey is definitely just beginning.
