“Steve Waide has been my professor in many classes. His knowledge, in my eyes, outweighed that of any other teacher that I have had at the Art Institute of Atlanta. He knows his way around a recording studio beter than almost anybody I've seen, and the quality of his work is always very high. I would recommend him to anybody needing a good engineer!”

"Steve Waide is a great audio engineer and teacher. He really pushed me as a student to push myself harder than I had in the past. He was able to recognize my limits and helped me to push past them in order to better myself as an engineer. His knowledge of audio, gear, music, DAW's, and electronics is simply amazing. I would trust Steve Waide next to me in the studio anytime. I've never met anyone quite like him and I have enjoyed all the time I have spent with him in class and in the studio.”

“As a former student of Steve Waide, I would definitely recommend him as an instructor, audio engineer, electrical engineer, or anything that he puts his mind to. He is an extremely dedicated individual who gives 110% at everything he does, and also pushes his students to never give anything less. I feel that the classes I took with Steve Waide were by far the most educational of any courses I've taken thus far, or will take in the future. I have enjoyed every moment of his classes, and all of the time I spent in the studio with him. Outside of teaching, Mr. Waide is very talented audio engineer, and can find his way around any studio with his knowledge of electronics, audio, outboard equipment, signal flow, and D.A.W.s . I would recommend Steve Waide for any position whether it be teaching or engineering, and trust him to get the job done with the utmost level of professionalism.”

"Steve Waide, is one of the main reasons why my College Degree is as valuable as it is. I learned more, worked harder, and was expected to rise to a higher level than ever before when I studied under Steve Waide. His sheer honesty and no bull attitude forced me to learn what it really takes to survive in this Industry. His incredible knowledge and passion for everything sound was the driving influence present during my career as a student. If it weren't for Mr. Waide, I would have never made it in this industry. Steve Waide is a good man, a great mentor, and a true audio professional. If your next project requires a seasoned pro, that can get the job done Steve Waide is your guy."

"Steve just happens to be one of my favorite teachers, he was prone to give me feedback when I needed it. He sets the standard bar very high, and if it wasn't for Steve I don't think my projects would have ever turned out as good as they are. He has a passion for Audio and endless knowledge of technology that drove me to become the professional that I am today. He's also recommended various books and articles that have helped push me to my limit. Steve is a professional that we all can admire and look up to."
