Mitch Benoff is a professor in the Music Production and Engineering Department. His focus on vocal production began in the days of analogue, developing for himself many of the comping techniques that have now become the norm in the digital world. Berklee Online's vocal production course is based on a similar course Benoff created on campus.
For decades, Benoff has split his time among various fields. As a producer, songwriter, and musician, he has written short film scores, musicals, music for off-Broadway, and lots of songs. He is the former owner of Downtown Recorders, home to much of Boston’s new wave and reggae scene in the '80s. His 3D sound company had clients like Pink Floyd and Michael Jackson. Benoff has also consulted on special effects concert lighting for national tours. At Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s Center for Advanced Visual Studies, he created large-scale art installations like his 400-foot–long Athens Olympic Meteor for the 2004 Olympic Games.
