Hi, I'm Connor! I am an experienced music production teacher operating out of my treated home studio in the Fishtown area of Philadelphia. I have many years of experience as a music producer and have an advanced understanding of modern music production skills and technologies. I offer specialized tutoring in the areas of mixing, mastering, song composition/arrangement, sound design, audio manipulation, and audio engineering. I am also a musician with diverse musical experience spanning many genres, with a focus in the areas of experimental electronic music, downtempo, hip hop, drum and bass, dub, neuro, and related genres. I also work in psychedelic rock, rock, metal, and pop. I release and perform music under the alias Shapesift.

I work with students of all skill levels, from the active music producer to those who have never opened a DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) before. My primary DAW is Ableton Live, and I have experience with many other DAWs including Logic Pro, Pro Tools, Fruity Loops, Cubase, Reason, Reaper, Bitwig, Studio One, VCV Rack, and Maschine. I am also experienced in synthesis and sound design using analog modeling synths, modular synthesis, advanced audio effect chains, and related tools.

I will work with you in your chosen software and with your own equipment to help you gain competence with your own materials. For remote lessons, I use Zoom with Screen Share and Remote Control, which allows me to work directly with you within your own projects if desired. I also teach from my own projects depending on what will work best for a given lesson and what is preferred by the student. I use Audiomovers to share high-fidelity stereo audio in real time, allowing my students and I to hear hi-fi audio together in real time.

Please feel free to contact me with any questions or to schedule a lesson. I also offer complimentary consultation sessions to gauge if a student and I would work well together. I am looking forward to hearing from you and developing a personalized lesson plan with you.

Excellent tutor and very understanding person.

Great knowledge of music theory and production. Patient and adaptable style. Takes the time to get to know the students skillset and goals. Would highly recommend for all skill levels.

Hughie, 1 lesson with Connor

Awesome!!!

In this lesson, Connor and I went over a track I sent him prior to the lesson. He showed me how to clean up the low end and "fill in the sides" of the track by using reverb and delays. Connor did a great job of touching on technical concepts without taking too much time to explain them in full detail. Very happy and will be scheduling another lesson.

Awesome tutor/guy

Connor has helped me understand the basics of ableton, sound design, and arranging music in records time. He makes confusing terminologies as simple as possible and our lessons together have given me confidence in what I am capable of musically. Super chill dude who knows his stuff!

Knowledge tailored to your focus

Connor was able to get to the root of what I wanted to achieve and concentrate on that. We've made a plan going forward that is exactly tailored to what I need to learn. Thanks so much.

Very Knowledgeable, Great Teaching Style

Connor really helped get me up and running with Cubase Artist 11. He was on time, patient, and intuitive with his teaching style and how I learn. I highly recommend him! 5 Stars!

WILLIAM, 1 lesson with Connor

thoughtful and patient tutor

Connor worked with me on understanding side chain compression, glueing my mixes and understanding the bus channeling system in Logic Pro X. He was very helpful and I look forward to future lessons

Barry, 4 lessons with Connor

Expert instructor. Listens and responds.

Connor taught me the fundamentals of LogicPro (Apple DAW). With the knowledge I gained from this jam-packed two-hour session I am now able to make my own recordings and experiment with the software.

Great Instructor

Connor is an expert and a good teacher. He is positive, patient, and has a sense of humor. He has the ability to solve problems. Will be talking more classes when I get the studio running better.
