James Kananen: Music Professional Profile

I am a recording engineer and audio mixing specialist working from my studio in downtown Cleveland, BAD RACKET.

I use DAWs and Video Editing software like Pro Tools, Final Cut, Motion, and I have been working as an audio engineer and producing video for over 10 years. From beat production and music, to daily operations of owning a recording studio, I’m usually at the computer recording or editing in my studio. I receive instructions and creative direction from the director, or producer, or help fill in with evaluating takes as a director. I solve technical problems, as well as communicate with team members to help people solve problems.

I’m always seeking to broaden my horizons in the music field, as well as utilize my prior experience in the recording studio world, as well as the music business world. If you are doing this part time or even full time, I have the qualifications and ambitions to help support you as a recording studio engineer, or video producer.
