Hi, I’m Les Lingle. I’m an audio professional with over 40 years of experience in live sound, studio recording, and post-production for music, podcasts, audiobooks, and e-learning. I work with Pro Tools for recording, mixing, and mastering, and I also handle on-location and in-studio work for broadcast and video projects. From church media teams to independent artists and corporate clients, I pride myself on clear communication, reliable schedules, and delivering polished audio on time. When I’m not in the studio, I consult on sound systems and keep exploring new tools to make audio shine.
