Meet the Instructor:

Phil is a songwriter, producer, audio engineer, guitarist and owner of Sound Sanctuary Recording, in Riverside, California. In addition, Phil is an author, writing for such magazine as EQ and Keyboard. Phil also moderates both the Effects and Recording/Engineering online forums on Harmony-Central.com.
