“Audio is what i do. it’s practically everything I know.”

Me, 2020

 

Meet the engineer

I’m Jeffery Banks II, an audio engineer with over 15+ years of experience across multiple sub disciplines of audio. From studio engineering to beatmaking, house of worship, podcasting, sound for short film & corporate sound. My journey begain in live sound as head Audio Engineer in my hometown at Fort Foote Baptst Church where I learned and understood the basics of analog audio and signal routing from both a video and audio Perspective. This also began to train my ears to the importance of clarity when working with multiple sources of audio . . . something that is critical to my methodology of mixing.

No matter the project, live or studio, my goal is to produce a sound that is not only industry grade but a sound that is recognizable for its clarity and unmatched cohesion. Every tweak and adjustment should elevate the artist craft and portray their vision or imagination come to life. I produce, operate, and collaborate, and each function is supported by the technical ability honed over the past 15 years in every project that I touch.
