Audio Engineer

Monk Fidelity Sound Lab

Monk Fidelity Sound Lab is a private recording studio in Highland Park, NJ focused on creating an exceptional recording experience for artists.

Our sessions are centered around quality over quantity. We work with artists who care about making records they’ll be proud of years from now, not just recording content as quickly as possible.

We’re looking for someone who shares that mindset and wants to become a dependable part of our team.

The Role

The most important qualification is availability and reliability.

We’re looking for someone who can consistently accept sessions, communicate well with clients, and deliver a professional recording and mixing experience.

• Set up microphones and session templates.
• Deliver clean, organized Pro Tools sessions.
• Edit vocals when needed.
• Mix songs to a professional standard.
• Create a comfortable, positive environment for artists.
• Keep the studio clean and ready for each session.
• Communicate clearly regarding scheduling and availability.

What We’re Looking ForReliability

You should know how to:

• Track vocals efficiently.
