Mike Rodriguez

Mike has been working in the audio, film & television and music industries for more than twenty years. Starting as a drum/keyboard tech and MIDI programmer for artists such as Stevie Wonder, Natalie Cole, Stryper, Al Jarreau, Teddy Riley and Martin Page he learned what it takes to work under pressure during live performances that ranged from small clubs to stadium venues.

He then made the jump to film and television and amassed an enormous credit list that includes audio mixing for more than 260 film, television and DVD commercials and over 170 bonus material productions. In addition, he has mixed 21 HBO television specials and an additional 35 network and cable television series and specials. He has also provided sound design for 9 feature films as Senior Audio Mixer at Trailer Park, the world's largest entertainment/advertisement agency.

Besides his entertainment work he has contributed as a sound designer and audio mixer to numerous corporate, cultural and museum projects including, the J. Paul Getty Museum, the Museum of Tolerance and the Walt Disney Concert Hall. In his ‘spare’ time he runs Westwave Audio, composes music and travels the world in search of interesting, obscure, useful/useless audio and music gear. And he hosts a podcast for audio professionals called AudioNowCast.
