Loiselle, Scott, MS

Biography

Scott D. Loiselle got hooked on music and technology in 1964 when he would put a record on the Zenith (up on his tiptoes, by feel), and then go ride his rocking horse like mad. In 1969, after the initial spanking failed to dissuade him, he was encouraged to continue cutting and splicing tape on his Dad's reel-to-reel tape deck. The 1970s was all about guitar, drums, prog and fusion bands, and multi-track analog recording. The1980s focus was electronica, with a pre-MIDI guitar synth leading into a MIDI guitar in early 1985, computer-based MIDI sequencing by mid-1986, a general addiction to MIDI devices of nearly any type, and in 1988, an introduction to non-linear digital audio, using the Hybrid Arts ADAP system. These years also saw growth from music store sales to working as a sales rep, covering the New England states for over a dozen manufacturers in the pro-audio and MI field, attending trade shows and doing trainings, seminars and clinics. The 1990s brought a BM-Sound Recording Technology degree from UMASS-Lowell, immersion into DAW technology, and then work as a product manager and "demo demon" for Lexicon, with international travel as a product evangelist. The 2000s was very busy being a full-time freelance audio engineer, doing studio and location recording and post-production of mostly classical music with partner and world-renowned educator David Moulton.
