About

Hi, I’m Tarik McFarland. I’m an audio engineer and studio manager with over 30 years of experience in both studio production and live sound environments. I’ve led technical operations, logistics, and staff training, bridging analog and digital workflows with Pro Tools proficiency and a deep background in acoustic design. My experience includes a strong sales and technical support foundation from Bose Corporation, and I’m dedicated to delivering high-quality audio experiences and effective team leadership.

In addition to running studios and directing audio for live events, I consult on studio operations and workflow optimization, and I teach courses in Recording Techniques, Mixing, and Non-Linear Digital Editing to help the next generation of engineers. I’m passionate about building capable teams, optimizing systems, and delivering reliable, great-sounding results for clients and congregations alike.
