Hi, I’m Edward Cleary, a hands-on audio engineer based in Fairless Hills, PA with extensive experience in live sound, recording, mixing, and mastering across studio and stage settings. I thrive collaborating with artists to capture their vision and deliver polished performances, whether it’s a live show, a recording session, or a produced track. I’ve built and managed complete audio setups, optimized monitor mixes for performers, and resolved real-time issues to keep performances flowing smoothly. As a freelancer with SoundPlex Studios and ongoing self-employed projects, I manage end-to-end audio production—from capturing live performances to delivering final masters. I’m comfortable overseeing FOH and monitor systems, working with artists to dial in tones, and maintaining strong client relationships to ensure timely project delivery and standout sound.
