Mat: Chief Architect
Mat Pataki is Chief Architect at SyncDNA™. He's built cloud platforms that serve millions of users at companies like Uken Games and Jam City. But he's also spent years in Toronto

music studios on both sides of the glass—as an engineer and a performer. That combination of building massive-scale systems and actually living in professional audio workflows means he knows what creative professionals need, and how to deliver it.

Andreas brings deep expertise in audio and video networking software and scalable systems, with experience at internet pioneering companies like AOL and Yahoo. As Chief Architect, Andreas designs our core audio/video processing infrastructure, DAW/NLE integration, and hardware integration.

  • What is Sync DNA and How did you form?

Finds of the week:

Each week our guests share something they have found, (usually audio related but it doesn´t have to be; it can be anything from audio software to movies or even a jar of pickle):


Mat:
For live shows I’ve been using this Allen and Heath SQ-5 digital mixer. Its graphic EQ “fader flip” function is pretty amazing.
