You might not know his name, but if you are into video games, Paul Lipson has touched your world. For one thing, Lipson has been composing and producing music for games, film, and TV since the late 1990s, and his teams at Hit Point Music and, more recently, at Pyramind Studios, have produced music for such heavy hitters as Sega, LucasArts, 2K Games, SCEA, Electronic Arts, THQ, Microsoft, and Harmonix.

But even if you aren’t a “gamer,” you may have heard Paul’s work. In addition to scoring for film and TV, he has toured all over the world and has performed and recorded on guitar with such famed jazz headliners as Clark Terry, George Russell, Eric Marienthal, Mick Goodrick, and John Abercrombie.

Lipson also has touched your world indirectly by influencing other musicians. Among other posts, he has served as Chief Academic Officer at Ex’pression College for Digital Arts in Emeryville, California, and he is currently Chief Operating Officer and Composer at Pyramind Studios in San Francisco, leading audio-production facility and training center that also includes a full-service record label.

On top of that, Paul is the president of the Game Audio Network Guild (GANG), which is the primary trade organization for game-audio professionals. He is constantly on tour, promoting game audio, lecturing, and hosting panels and master classes—all in an effort to help game-audio pros and students raise the bar in their field.

PreSonus is with him every step of the way. “PreSonus has helped me achieve my creative and technical goals for some of the world’s biggest clients,” he begins. In addition to using PreSonus FireStudio-series interfaces, Lipson has relied on Studio One Pro in his latest productions, with great success. “There are no creative roadblocks, so I’m able to get ideas down as they happen. I work faster in Studio One than anything else,” he explains. And between Studio One Pro’s state-of-the-art audio engine and the FireStudio series’ outstanding audio quality, Lipson knows he will always be able to deliver the superior sound quality his clients demand.
