Welcome to my website. I'm Joe Shambro, a St. Louis-based music producer, audio engineer (studio and live sound), and writer.

I started working professionally in the music business in 2001; since then, I've worked as a touring live sound engineer, production consultant, studio engineer & producer, and a touring musician.

I currently work as a freelance audio engineer. I produce, record, and mix albums (both live and in the studio) for bands around the world. I'm always open to new ideas and projects, and frequently network with other producers, engineers, and musicians within the industry to stay on top of, and come up with, new recording techniques.

You can check out some examples of my work in my digital portfolio.

I'm also a writer for the New York Times Company, writing for their About.com label to an audience of 30 million readers a month. You can find more information about my work in my writing section.

I'm available for recording, mixing, and producing in the St. Louis, MO area, but am willing to travel for any project. I'm also available for live sound work, both tour and local.

I'm always looking for new bands, solo artists, and songwriters to work with.

I offer full-service live and studio recording, mixing, and mastering services at an affordable price with the highest quality. My goal is simple: to put world-class production and engineering in the hands of any band that needs it, multi-platinum or independent.

As such, I take a very organic approach to what equipment I use. I believe very strongly in the engineering aspect of a recording being a large part of the overall picture, and I select equipment carefully to assure the best quality possible. I also work hard to give your project it's own unique sound signature to stand out among your
competition. Check out a sample of my available equipment on my gear page.

I also specialize in live recording; sometimes the finest quality, highest energy, and most budget-accommodating recording can be a live one. Check out my digital portfolio, and feel free to contact me with any questions.

Booking information is available on my contact page.
