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.
