My name is Donny Baker. So happy to be here. I am a Los Angeles based audio engineer (recording, mostly). I have owned and operated my studio in LA for 21 years. Multiple Golds, Platinums, a few BMI and iHeart Radio awards, some Grammy noms and a Grammy win. I have made my living in this business for 40 years. I taught a recording program that I helped write for 20 years until the school folded this year. I'm pretty good with Pro Tools and Luna as a DAW. And, I really understand how to build, grow, and scale a business as an audio engineer, music producer, and studio owner and implementing the tools you need in order to be successful. I've already made all the mistakes so you don't have to. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions about building your dream career. I got you!

Let’s stir the pot a bit... 👉 What’s your most unpopular opinion about music production? - “Auto-Tune makes singers sound better than ever.” - “Stock plugins are all you need—paid ones are just hype.” - “Mixing on headphones > mixing on monitors.” - Drop yours below 👇 — and don’t just write it… DEFEND IT. Let’s see who agrees and who calls BS.
