He aspires to turn this passion into a career as an audio engineer. Because of his interest in audio engineering, he recently graduated in 2019 with a B.S. in Recording Arts from Full Sail University in Florida. This was a rigorous 20-month bachelor's program designed to teach the student the fundamentals of audio engineering in real-world scenarios. Jordan now looks to apply his passion, interests, and education to start a career in audio engineering.
Come at Me is a song that I had the opportunity to work on while I was a student at Full Sail University. It was produced, recorded, mixed, and mastered by me and the lab group that I was in. Almost all of the work on the song was done at the studios on campus at Full Sail. I had a great time working on it and learned a lot in the process. I’d say the most valuable thing that I learned was how to get a solid recording. It was necessary to experiment using different microphones and their placement to achieve the sound that we wanted, and in many cases, had to record multiple takes until we had one we were happy with. The amount of time that we had in the studio was also limited, so it was necessary to be efficient and work fast.
This is another project that I worked on while I was at Full Sail. It is a futuristic shooter game. I created, designed, and implemented the sounds in the game. All of the character's foley sounds were recorded by me. For the gun sounds I started with sound effect libraries. I needed to make the guns sound "futuristic" so I layered them and added effects. In the video I show how I came up with the launcher sound for the game as well as how I implemented and organized everything.
This is a film called "Loner" that I worked on for an audio post-production demo. The original recordings that I received for the film were pretty rough. I ended up replacing every sound in the film besides the voice recordings. Most of the foley sounds in the film were recorded in post, by me. The sound effects and backgrounds were obtained from sound libraries then layered and mixed. I implemented every sound in the film and synced them to the correct time.
