I just graduated from the Omega Studios' School, located in Rockville, MD. As well as became a Certified Pro Tools Operator. In, addition to that, I love to mix and record, as well as write songs and make beats.
Been busy making the move from the East Coast, down here to Florida. If you ever want to talk music or collaborate drop me a line ~1.

Got some records, got my ear and I got my brain. But to be successful I need more patience to sit in the pocket and create. Which I am developing as we speak. Besides that, Pro Tools is a joy to create in (dear, digidesign I need automatic delay compensation)I'm trying to stay competitive. Mixing in the box is ok, but you really have to marry it with outboard gear. For instance, having the 1176 plugin is nice but it would be better to have the 1176 outboard compressor.
This is Me
Wow, where to begin. My name is DeRon. I'm 24 and have been married for a little over a year now. I'm from Indiana. I recently graduated from Omega Studios and became an alumni, wow! Meaning I just joined a great list of audio engineers.
I just moved from the cold of Maryland, to the warmth of Florida, just in a nick of time(literally missed the snow by two days, lol). I love being creative, anything that took time to design I can admire it, architecture, music, movies, etc. I am also a business geek I love learning how businesses became industry leaders. I'm a true entrepreneur at heart.
My musical influences span wide. I love Quincy Jones, babyface, Just Blaze, Jay-Z prefer Kingdom Come over American Gangster, Nas, Tamia, Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston, Rodney Jerkins, Fred Hammond tremendous talent, Commissioned, Kirk Franklin, Joe Budden, Mary J.

I started out with my first introduction to music at an early age. My mom had great taste in music and listen to everything from Rnb to Country. From there I started writing rap lyrics, then moved on to trying to produce music and eventually found my niche with audio engineer/production.
My skills have really improved over the past 4 or 5 years.
My ear has developed and I notice subtle things now, during recording as well as mixdown. Being in the studio has also helped me mature into a better programmer. I know when to put tom hits in and when to change from the ride cymbal to the crash.
My goal now is to start freelancing and from there acquire more gear to really push to get to that next level I'm close I can feel it. It truly has been a long hard road but honestly looking back I have enjoyed it, the challenge is what builds the character.
