Studio Manager, Engineer
Dan Ahrendt is our affable studio manager and an endlessly talented recording and mixing engineer.A graduate of the IU Jacobs School of Music Audio Engineering program (and one hell of a guitar player), Dan brings an intuitive approach to every session, balancing technical nimbleness, a keen ear, musical fluidity, and a warm, enthusiastic presence.
In addition to keeping the studio running smoothly, Dan is a skilled multi-instrumentalist and a member of Mindfully Blind. He’s lent his engineering, production, and mixing talents to artists like Ces’pua, Jacqueline Bleadon, Dose Rose, Maxwell Lane, and Splatter Tones. Whether he’s building a track from the ground up or polishing a final mix, Dan has a rare knack for helping artists feel comfortable and confident while consistently delivering the goods.
If you’re lucky, you might catch a sesh with his dog Bruno on assistant engineer duty.
