Neal Stein:

Recording engineer/producer/musician.
Currently based in Fargo, ND.

Bachelor of Music - Audio Production from Minnesota State University Moorhead.

I have worked with many different styles of music, including metal, rock, folk, acoustic, classical, jazz, and electronic both in the context of recording and performing.

All audio examples on this page were recorded and mixed by yours truly. They have been organized into sets according to style/genre. It should be noted that some of these tracks are the mixes before the mastering process.

I have played in numerous metal and rock bands over the years including Gorgatron, WWJD, Denied by Christ, Her Seduction and Built for Speed. 

Currently playing guitar in Egypt (the band, not the country). I also play banjo in the medieval/bluegrass band Cass County Criminals.
