Jonathan Wyner is a professor of music production and engineering at Berklee College of Music and head of artistic technology initiatives for BEATL, Berklee’s artist-first innovation lab for music technology. He is also the chief engineer at M Works Studios in Somerville, Massachusetts; past president of the Audio Engineering Society; and former education director for iZotope. He combines a focus on production, engineering, and education with experience as a product design consultant. His work includes leveraging technology and product innovations to create engaging experiences to creative and technical users. A producer, engineer, musician, and performer, he's mastered and produced thousands of recordings during the last 35 years. He remembers, very clearly, the time before the look ahead limiter/compressor changed the sound of music. Driving CV triggers on an ARP 2600 from his French horn in 1977 set him on a lifelong journey to discover how technology can expand our creative vocabulary.
