Ken Theriot
Ken Theriot is a musician, voice-over actor, recording engineer and author. He has been recording and producing music for over 20 years. He started the web site Home Brew Audio (http://www.homebrewaudio.com) to help people set up and use their home studios to produce high quality audio without having to spend a fortune (the starting budget is “zero-to-five dollars”), and without having to have a masters degree in audio engineering. Home Brew Audio is all about getting the point across so “regular non-techie" people can understand the concepts, which trulyaren’t hard. They just seem that way because too often the explanations come from “tech guys” whose second language is “engineer-ese.”
