Pete de Boer - Producer/ Engineer / Mixer
Pete started his audio career mixing live bands in 1995. He moved to New York City in 1998 to attend the Institute of Audio Research in Greenwich Village and started working in a commercial recording studio a month later. Pete worked on staff at several prominent NYC recording studios until 2001 when he went freelance and established World Famous Studios in Brooklyn as a place to edit, overdub, and mix when budgets were tight. WorldFamousStudios.com was purchased as a place to highlight Pete's engineering experiences in "World Famous" studios around the country. The studio in Brooklyn received a few credits as World Famous and the name stuck.
Some of the artists Pete has had the pleasure of working with are Norah Jones, Living Colour, Default, Brand New, Crash Test Dummies, Rufus Wainright, Glen Hansard, Creed, George Clinton & the P-Funk All-Stars, Scott Stapp, Q-Tip, DMC (including performances by Elliot Easton, Joey Kramer and Josh Todd), The Exit, Ollabelle, Biohazard, Kim Taylor and Morningwood as some of the highlights.
Ninja skills on Pro Tools (an operator since Ver.4 and the first 24bit system), a strong understanding of recording studios and recording technology, and a talent for getting better sounds than people expected possible have led to Pete's working with many Top Notch producers including Mark Plati (David Bowie, The Cure, Duncan Sheik), Dave Sardy (Marilyn Manson, Nine Inch Nails, Rage Against the Machine), Tommy Ramone (Ramones), Desmond Child (Aerosmith, Alice Cooper, Kiss) and a decade travelling, learning from and working alongside famed producer Ron Saint Germain (311, Tool, Soundgarden, Muse, Jimi Hendrix) resulting in a Platinum album, severval Billboard charting singles and a few co-productions.
World Famous Studios relocated to its current location in Arvada, Colorado in 2012, where Pete's studio design experience and passion for hi-end recording equipment provide an array of both vintage and modern within a comfortable and creative setting. As a musician, producer and recording engineer Pete is dedicated to bringing artistry and technology together to capture the essence of every performance.
