Pedro Aida: Musician, Recording Engineer

Today’s interview is with Pedro Aida. Pedro is a musician, a vocalist and guitarist that began playing in punk bands in the 1990s. He also is known as a recording engineer, who got his start at Richmond’s Sound of Music, before opening his own studio, Audio Verite. Currently he plays in three bands, the band Fire Sale, which is kind of a ‘punk rock supergroup’, Shotclock, and The Iron Roses, in which he is most active.

It was great to talk to Pedro, and learn about how he came into engineering and punk rock. And also talk about some of the technical aspects of things from studios, to good vocal practices, and song writing. We cover a lot in a relatively short time. I love when these episodes have practical information mixed in with stories, and this a great example of one.
