Aaron James Gittins

I am an enthusiastic, hardworking, and dedicated graduate seeking a professional career in the sound and technology industry. Committed to continuous professional development, I am eager to enhance my skills and experience in audio and technology. I have experience in music technology, including synthesis, recording, and mixing original songs for a professional rock band based in Leeds. My role as a live music promoter involves organising bands and artists, as well as liaising with venues to ensure that each event ran smoothly and according to schedule. I thrive in a team environment, where I effectively communicate with a diverse range of people and collaborate with different clients during events. I work flexibly under pressure and can respond effectively to changing project demands, ensuring the successful execution of each live event.

I have a very keen interest and understanding of audio technology principles from my Spatial Audio, sound technology and sound reproduction systems modules at Leeds Beckett University. I developed experience taking audio measurements using software such as Room EQ Wizard and Sonic Visualiser as well as using sound level meters to undertake acoustic measurements of speaker systems in different rooms. With a keen interest in Spatial Audio I recorded a live Spatial Audio event using my Zoom H3VR recorder and used this device to record different locations to create immersive soundscapes to use in my own original music, which I then mixed using Pro Tools Dolby Atmos Renderer and Logic Pro X built in immersive audio software. I have since used these recordings in my own professional releases of music on major streaming platforms such as Spotify and Apple Music.
