Through years of experience helping shape and grow the music industry driven by a relentless pursuit of the highest quality sound, Mark Salamone’s journey has given him a range of experiences, from leading recording sessions for major labels, to owning his own record label, and now serving as studio integration manager for Sweetwater Integration.

Mark’s path also features stints as the engineer/producer for artists such as the Backstreet Boys, Common, and Breaking Benjamin; owner of the Barber Shop Recording Studios; and touring/studio musician with Atlantic Records while working alongside Styx, Blue Öyster Cult, and more. When it comes to understanding how to design a studio and get the most out of your audio technology, Mark’s whole career is a go-to resource.

Mark’s experiences will serve our guests well during the Home Studio Acoustics session of the Trilix Studio workshop. Mark, along with other featured speakers, Russ Berger of RBDG and Paul Vnuk Jr. of Recording Magazine will cover:

  • Effective techniques for soundproofing.
  • Choosing the right acoustic treatments.
  • Arranging your space to minimize unwanted echoes and reflections.
  • How your space should drive your choice in monitors.
  • If your studio can only feature stereo or if it can support 5.1 surround or 7.1.4 Dolby Atmos®.

In Mark’s current role, he guides the seamless blend of innovation with practicality to empower musicians and studios to harness their full creative potential. This passion for growing the industry will not only be heard but also felt during the workshop as Trilix Studio was outfitted with the latest equipment from Mark’s team at Sweetwater Integration.
