Since graduating from Berklee in 1991 with a bachelor's degree in Music Production and Engineering, Paduck has worked with an impressive roster of artists. Early freelance engineering projects in Boston at such studios as Syncro Sound, Newbury Sound, and Soundtechniques eventually led to a staff engineering position at the latter, where he worked with Aerosmith, Duran Duran, Nine Inch Nails, Run DMC, Busta Rhymes, and Erika Badu, and also engineered television spots for commercials and film scores for Better than Sex, Prefontaine, and the HBO series Earth to the Moon.
