Professional Audio Training & Consulting

If you’re serious about improving your sound, meeting professional audio standards, or finally understanding your gear — you’re in the right place. With over 45 years in the audio industry, Dana Tucker provides hands-on training, consulting, and real-world guidance for musicians, engineers, podcasters, and voice-over artists. Whether you’re working with a Behringer X32, M32, WING, or building a home studio, you’ll learn what actually works — not theory, not fluff.

X/M32 & Wing Digital Mixer Training That Gets Results

Learn how to confidently operate your mixer, eliminate guesswork, and get professional-quality sound in live and studio environments. Dana specializes in Behringer digital mixers, with years of real-world troubleshooting and teaching experience. Go hands on with one on one training via Zoom to understand:

• Signal flow, gain staging, EQ, compression
• Effects routing, buses, matrices, and inserts
• Scene management and workflow optimization

Voice Over & ACX Audiobook Training

Break into audiobook narration the right way — without wasting time or money. ACX standards are not optional — and failing to meet them results in rejection. This training ensures you get it right the first time. With over 10,000 audio files checked, Dana will show you how to:

• Meet strict ACX submission requirements
• Proper recording, editing, and mastering workflows
• Equipment selection that actually fits your voice and recording environment

Mixing & Mastering for Spoken Word

From podcasts to professional narration, learn how to:

• Clean up audio and remove noise
• Apply EQ, compression, and limiting correctly
• Deliver consistent, broadcast-ready sound

Dana has analyzed thousands of podcast files using Audio Engineering Society standards, giving you a proven framework to follow.

• Get expert help with your audio setup
• Learn the skills that actually make a difference

The one on one training consists of ten to fifteen one hour zoom calls, but the training doesn’t stop until you are confident with running your mixer. These meetings are normally one hour long and they are recorded for your future reference. Screen sharing is used to provide real-time step-by-step instructions on your specific setup. You must have Zoom as well as Reaper, Wing Edit or X/M32 Edit installed on the same computer that you have your mixer connected to. There are no exceptions. If I can’t see your screen, then I will not be able to train you.

If you are using a Mac computer, then it is your responsibility to learn how to install and connect these two apps, as I don’t use Mac computers.
