Michael Zick - Sound Editor / Mixer

Since Pro Tools was available for free as an 8-track demo for OS 9, Michael has been using digital workstations to manipulate audio. After getting a strong grasp on this emerging world, Michael took his talents to the USC School of Cinema-Television as a worker in the prestigious Sound Department. Working alongside audio pioneers such as Tomlinson Holman, creator of the THX standard for George Lucas, and having access to the Spielberg scoring stage and world-class dub stages, Michael's parallel passion quickly became post-production sound.

Having edited sound for high-budget games (Full Spectrum Warrior, Driver 3), pilots, webisodes, films, commercials and promos, Michael knows the importance of a good sound mix. Because if it sounds good, it looks good.

Michael Zick

Michael was born in Las Vegas, Nevada, but soon afterward began his journey across the United States and the world. Living on both coasts, in the South, the Southwest and internationally in Israel and Germany, Michael was exposed to an influential abundance of music.

It all started for Michael around the age of 12. He spent countless days and nights learning every guitar riff Metallica had written at the time. In High School, he played smokey Blues clubs and bars throughout New Mexico and Texas, and afterward attended the Music Industry Program at the University of Southern California. It was there he learned the fundamentals of recording, business and music technology from many of the industry's most respected authorities, including Chris Stone, founder of Record Plant Studios. In addition to his musical studies, Michael worked in the sound department of the USC School of Cinema-Television alongside some of the industry's most respected figures. It was there that he learned about the art of sound-for-picture.

After graduating, Michael began his full-time music career as an engineer, mixer and producer. Eventually he ventured into composing, which he currently does while creating various styles of music cues for film and television. As a songwriter and producer, Michael has placed music in multiple surf documentaries such as Peel: The Peru Project and Chasing Dora. Both films were directed by Wes Brown, grandson of legendary filmmaker Bruce Brown (The Endless Summer). In addition to music, Michael provides post-production sound editing and mixing for a variety of projects.

When not working, Michael enjoys catching waves at a local break or hiking with his wife and two dogs somewhere in Los Angeles.
