Hi there! I’m Lear Arcilla, an Audio Engineer and Recording Artist based in Norfolk, VA. I’ve built a hands-on career producing, recording, mixing, and mastering music — including an EP release and 10+ self-produced tracks from a self-funded home studio. While serving as a U.S. Navy as a Gas Turbine Systems Electrician, I’ve balanced full-time military duties with ongoing music projects and a growing full-length album. With a strong technical background, I’m skilled at signal flow, DAWs (Pro Tools, Logic, Reaper), EQ, compression, tracking, editing, and mic techniques. I excel at problem solving in studio environments, have a disciplined workflow, and thrive under pressure. I’m eager to collaborate on creative projects and bring polished, dynamic sound to every track.
