About
I’m Abhinav Ranganathan, an audio engineer and music producer based in Washington D.C. with hands-on experience spanning studio recording, post-production, mixing, and sound design. I’ve worked across both independent and professional environments, including an internship with DJ Dahi in Los Angeles, where I contributed to sample-based synthesis and built guitar chord libraries to streamline beat making and production workflows.
Alongside production work, I love teaching and building creative skills in others. I’ve designed and taught music production curriculum for middle school students using Ableton, BandLab, and Logic, helping students learn beat-making, recording, mixing, and sound design while using music as a positive outlet for emotional regulation and self-expression. I also built and managed a home studio serving artists across D.C. and L.A., handling the full process from songwriting through mixing and mastering.
