Professor David Musial is an award-winning |
David believes that MUSIC & VIDEO CREATION is ART and should be enjoyable. He has had some horrible college instructors that were knowledgeable but boring! He has had many wonderful instructors. Theory, of course, is important, but so are feeling and compassion. David plays Piano, Pipe Organ & Synthesizers. David sings but is not a “soloist.” He sings the songs (hundreds) he composes, and he has been an acclaimed professional song leader in churches and has conducted a multitude of choirs over the years. He has been praised for his amazing keen sense of “pitch” and has taught college students to encourage professional singers to record at their “best gently.” David is an expert studio vocal producer and has worked on over 100 records, scored music for cartoons, TV commercials, and shows, and produced an immeasurable amount of vocal “voiceover sessions” for music and broadcast. He has designed several “turnkey” recording studios and also a TV and Radio Production Center. David has been using Mac computers for Music Production with MIDI since they were invented, and soon started also to learn the visual arts programs and has mastered many aspects of Photoshop, and video editors like iMovie, Final Cut Pro, and Adobe Premiere. David is a Moog Expert (being that he was friends with Bob Moog) and is skilled with the 4-Dimensional LUMI and the 5-Dimensional Seaboard by ROLI, the STATE-of-Keyboard-Art". He has also used all kinds of other applications like Autotune, Melodyne, Reason, East-West PLAY, Native Instruments Kontakt Komplete, Universal Audio LUNA, WAVES, Omnisphere, Band-In-A-Box, STEM Mixing, Surround Mixing, and more. One project he worked on earned an Emmy, one of his students earned a Grammy, and several of the albums he contributed to went gold and even platinum. So to make a difference in learning more about any of these topics, book an interview with Professor Musial today.

"David and the choir did one of the most beautiful MUSICAL Liturgies I think I ever heard. It (synthestration in church) was totally accepted here. it rought about a great response in participation. The ehterial connotation that it gives you, the other-worldliness of it, prompts your to be aware of more than just yourself. David brought a complete turnaround in the sound.
