Björgvin Benediktsson’s Summary
I am currently studying audio engineering at the SAE Institute in Madrid. I have been working in the music-industry since 2006, when I began working as a live sound technician back home in Iceland. Since then I’ve had a lot of experience working in the field of live sound and have also been a teacher of sound recording and musical production.
Now I am focusing on discovering the academic side of my practical skills at the SAE institute. I also write articles for various internet publications such as Audiotuts.com and Emusictips.com and am seeking more of those.
I have a audio and music related blog a www.audiotipaday.com where I write short focused tips for beginning audio enthusiasts.
