Live Sound Engineer & Musical Director (Midtown)
We’re seeking a versatile and motivated Live Sound Engineer & Studio Operations Assistant to join our team. This is a dynamic, hands-on role that goes far beyond just running a soundboard. You’ll be the bridge between musicians and the studio, ensuring sessions run smoothly from start to finish — both technically and operationally. In this role, you’ll work directly with artists to deliver high-quality live sound, while also managing front desk responsibilities, bookings, payments, and general upkeep of the studio space. It’s a perfect opportunity for someone who thrives in fast-paced environments, loves solving problems on the fly, and wants to stay deeply connected to NYC’s music community. If you're comfortable balancing tech work with customer service, can keep calm under pressure, and genuinely enjoy supporting musicians, you'll excel here. You won’t be sitting still — you'll be mixing, scheduling, fixing, cleaning, and creating a great experience for everyone who walks through our doors. In addition to your technical skills, we’re especially looking for someone who can also step into the role of Musical Director for our workshop bands, intensives, and performance-based programs. This means leading rehearsals, helping musicians prepare material, arranging parts when needed, and creating a supportive environment where players of all levels can grow and perform with confidence. You’ll collaborate with our team to shape curriculum and setlists, guide groups toward cohesive performances, and bring out the best in each participant — musically and interpersonally This dual capability — engineering and musical leadership — is central to what we’re looking for. The ideal candidate is someone who feels just as comfortable behind a mixing console as they do in front of a band, guiding musicians through rehearsals and helping shape great performances. If you’re able to balance technical precision with creative direction, and enjoy inspiring musicians while keeping things running smoothly, you’ll thrive in this role. Core Responsibilities Live Sound & Technical Setup -Operate and manage analog and digital mixing boards during live rehearsals. -Set up and test audio equipment (microphones, monitors, DI boxes, cables, amps, etc.). -Monitor and adjust sound levels in real time to meet the needs of musicians. -Understand and implement proper audio signal flow and stage layout for different setups. -Collaborate with artists to understand their sound preferences and deliver tailored mixes.

Maintenance & Facility Support -Maintain cleanliness of all studio spaces, including bathrooms and common areas. -Perform basic handyman tasks (e.g., replacing light bulbs, securing loose cables, organizing gear). -Conduct regular checks on equipment and studio spaces to ensure functionality and safety. -Report or resolve any technical or facility-related issues promptly.

What We Offer -A vibrant, creative work environment where music is central to everything we do. -Opportunities to connect and collaborate with NYC’s diverse music community. -Hands-on experience with a wide range of gear and setups. -The chance to learn and grow in both technical and operational aspects of live sound.
