About
I’m Zach Treanor, an audio post-production professional based in New York with a strong music technology background. I produce and edit podcast, documentary, and branded audio—handling everything from remote recording setup and troubleshooting through dialogue editing, restoration, sound design, mixing, quality control, and final delivery.
I’ve led multi-project workflows for Emmy-winning post-production work and also run client-facing productions through my independent studio. I enjoy translating creative goals into clear production plans, partnering directly with clients and collaborators, and using audience and performance insights to improve listener engagement and pacing across episodes.
