Casey Burnham

Audio Engineer & Mountain Enthusiast

About Casey

I've spent the last ten years chasing clean mixes and fixing gear that swore it was working yesterday. With a degree in Audio Engineering from UCD β€” mostly good for knowing which cable to blame β€” I now spend my days keeping mics alive, fixing things no one else saw break, and convincing everyone it was fine all along. Originally from Idaho, I traded dirt roads for mountain trails (and potatoes for peaches). When I'm not in a black box or behind a console, I'm usually above the treeline β€” scrambling up peaks, letting the trail handle my truck's detailing, and dragging my dog along for the ride. He's not always impressed.
