Melanie Reed

Too often in our industry, Studio Operations and Studio Production are separated by different paths that never seem to connect.  That is certainly not the case with Mel.

As a graduate of Full Sail University, with a B.S. in Recording Arts, Melanie’s over ten years experience in the industry began with the basics.  From cleaning studios and re-stocking the refrigerator, to editing drum tracks, recording local bands, and live mixing at local venues in NJ, Melanie became aware of every facet of  the music recording business.

When the opportunity to do freelance mixing, sound design, and foley for a handful of animations and independent projects came along, she knew she found her passion in the wonderful world of Audio Post Production. Over the years, along with assisting, editing, mixing, foley + VO recording, she has worked with Video Editing, Media Management and the more technical side of Post-Production.

Now the Director of Operations and Head Scheduler for Sandblast Productions, Melanie’s experience has been vital to facilitating the workflow and understanding the needs of the client’s project from start to finish.
