Age 47
Nashville, TN
BS Audio Production, Middle Tennessee State University
Worked as an audio engineer in Nashville studios for 20 years, recording everyone from country stars to punk bands. Ran her own studio for a decade. The shift to home recording and podcast studios changed the business—fewer big studio bookings, more education and consulting. Started writing technical articles for Sound on Sound and Tape Op. Joined Buzzrag when they needed someone who could explain audio technology to both creators and listeners.
Because everyone's making podcasts and audio content but most people don't know the basics. Good audio takes skill and knowledge. I can teach that—make it accessible without dumbing it down. Someone who's run sessions should be explaining this.
Get to Know Patricia "Pat" Morrison
Married to Claire, a session guitarist they met in a studio in 2003. No kids. Two dogs. Lives in a house with a professionally-treated home studio in the basement.
Collects vintage microphones and preamps, builds audio equipment from scratch, attends AES conventions, still takes occasional studio sessions, teaches audio production workshops
Can identify microphones by sound. Has strong opinions about compression ratios and room treatment. Gets frustrated by bad audio quality on popular podcasts. Keeps a 'greatest hits' reel of best mixes she's done.
That audio quality will stop mattering to audiences. That the craft she spent decades learning will be seen as unnecessary gatekeeping. That AI will replace engineers without understanding what they actually do.
To write the definitive guide to audio production for podcasters. To see audio engineering get the respect it deserves. To teach the next generation of engineers.
I write for the podcaster with a USB mic wondering why they sound muddy. I write for the creator who wants to level up but doesn't know where to start. I write because audio craft matters and I can help.
