Train With Me
I train engineers out of my own room in NYC. One on one, on the desk I use for records that go No. 1.
This is not theory off a slide. You sit next to a working major label engineer and we run a real session on real material.
What I Teach
No class, no cohort, no assistant on the session. You book me, you get me.
Deposit only. Booked and confirmed through

microphones, forward voicings for rapped vocals and neutral for sung.

A session in progress, a record you cannot finish, or nothing at all. I start where you are.
You run the desk
One on one in my room. You drive, I sit next to you, and we work on real material.
You leave with the workflow
Not a handout. The chain, the order of operations and the reasons behind both.

- Artists who record themselves
- Producers finishing their own records

Who You Learn From
I'm DeVonne Knights. Most people know me as Knice, and on a lot of records I'm credited as Knice On The Sonics. I'm a Brooklyn born recording, mixing and mastering engineer, I graduated from SAE Institute, and I came up through the ranks at Platinum Sound, the Midtown Manhattan facility co-founded by Wyclef Jean and Jerry Wonder Duplessis, where I joined the senior staff as a specialist in immersive mixing.
Today I run my own room in NYC while serving as head engineer for French Montana and A&R for Coke Boys Records. In 2026 a record I mixed went No. 1 on two charts and was nominated for Best Collaboration at the .
Training the next wave out of my own room is part of the work, not a side line. You get the same hands, the same desk and the same session discipline the records get.
“Our job as engineers is to inspire artists.”
