Zachary Restaino
@zacharyrestaino
Detail-oriented audio engineer specializing in mixing, mastering, and live production.
What I'm looking for
I am a detail-oriented audio engineer with strong experience in mixing, mastering, and live sound across studio, touring, and venue environments. I prioritize sonic clarity, balance, and efficient delivery while collaborating closely with artists and producers.
My technical toolkit centers on Pro Tools and Logic Pro X, and I am experienced on major live consoles including Avid, DiGiCo, Midas, and Allen & Heath. I manage complex audio workflows, version control, and session backups to ensure consistent, client-ready mixes.
On tour and at venues I have served as FOH engineer, A1/A2, and production manager, coordinating backline, input lists, and troubleshooting systems to maintain technical consistency. I also handle studio installation, PA systems, and acoustic treatment to support both live and recorded work.
I hold a B.A. in Audio Design & Production from Columbia College Chicago and bring a track record of dependable communication, fast turnarounds on revisions, and organized asset management that helps projects meet artistic and technical goals.
