Lead Engineers

Lead engineers offer the premier Barron Studios product. A faster workflow while in session, a bigger, fuller sound - and you get to work with them in their respective home studio with their hand picked gear.

Chris Macek is the lead engineer in The Warehouse Studio. His specialty lies in bands, complex pop music and large thick musical mixes. Chris also performs all mastering services offered through Barron.

Randy Biddle is the lead engineer in The Vocal Suite. His specialty lies in hiphop, mixtapes - flipping, chopping, screwing and generally imparting his special brand of destruction to your track. Randy's impressive mix client list includes Kreayshawn's "Guicci, Guicci" as well as tracks featuring Chris Brown, Wiz Kahlifa, Bun B, Gucci Mane, Berner, Big K.R.I.T. and more.

Student Engineers

Student Engineers are just that, engineers that are learning the ropes of how to become a full time Barron Studios staff engineer. Student Engineers work out of The Vocal Suite. They are able to record vocals only. No mixing, no fancy effect work, just dirt cheap recording and editing.

Student Engineer sessions available: Monday-Saturday 10pm-2am and Sunday noon-midnight.
