As his musical journey continued, Aron took an internship at WHBQ radio and Ardent Studios in Memphis, TN.
In 1987, he landed his first professional job at the world famous Sun Studios where he worked as studio manager and chief engineer. He quickly got a taste of working with a major artist when U2 recorded some songs for the Rattle and Hum album.
In 1990, Aron moved to Los Angeles and found his first job at Music Grinder Recording. After a short stay, he found his first major career-break when he landed a staff engineer position at Larrabee Sound.
After working with multiple artists at Larrabee, he earned early credits working with Grammy Award-Winning artist, Prince, on My Name is Prince, Sexy M.F, and an acoustic version of 7 which Dave mixed and was released as a single. This gained him a significant amount of clout and secured a flourishing career in the music industry.

He is working on a series of instructional mixing DVDs entitled Platinum Hip Hop Mixing and educational seminars to help educate the generations of tomorrow about music, mixing, engineering & the music industry.
Dave Aron, a graduate of the University of Memphis recording program, has been teaching seminars since
2002 at Middle Tennessee State University. He has
been running an internship program for the past 6 years for students willing to complete their internship in Los Angeles.
Due to the real life experience Dave offers, students
feel that they receive an experience unlike any others
they have had in a classroom studio setting. They

a professional recording session.
In addition, students are able to ask questions at any point during the seminar to get absolute clarity of the process. He has received 100% positive feedback from the students who have attended past educational seminars.
