Available to hire
Hi, I’m Nick Pelc, a digital media and audio engineering professional with a strong track record in recording, mixing, and mastering for artists across genres. I own Augminished Studio in Littleton, CO, where I record, produce, mix and master for local musicians and bands, leveraging Pro Tools, Logic, Maschine and other industry tools. My credits include work with Lil Wayne, Ingrid Michaelson, the Colorado Symphony, and more, and I bring a client-focused, collaborative approach to every project.
I have a research background in audio from DARPA/University of Colorado Denver, experience as a teaching assistant at NCMF, and long-standing performance work as a professional bagpiper. I love helping artists realize their sonic vision and building efficient, creative studio workflows.
