About Professional
Audio Pro Network is a FREE one-of-a-kind, private, global community that I created in 2008 as an alternative to the various message boards and social networks of the time.I designed Audio Pro Network to be a patch bay for people and a noise free alternative to the chaos of public facing social media. It's a place where audio professionals can gather socially or use the power of community to make the industry a better place.Well, here we are in 2025, and now more than ever, big public facing social media is becoming even more intrusive and unpredictable. Relentless advertising, phishing and bots are just some of the problems plaguing your user experience and compromising your privacy. My network is private, free and filled with audio industry veterans just like you.
About Mentorship
I’ve been mentoring young people in this industry for years. After creating a network for professionals, I felt it was only fitting to build a dedicated platform for those just starting out.This mentorship platform is free, private, and filled with people just like you. It’s designed as a separate space within the professional network where mentees can receive meaningful guidance from our volunteer visiting professionals. In this safe and motivational environment, we’re dedicated to helping you achieve your career goals.It’s time to stop posting anonymously on public social networks when you need advice.

I’m an audio post mixer from NY and now I work remotely. I miss the community of the audio world I grew up in where I worked in an audio facility with other sound designers like me and we exchanged techniques and ideas. Now that "world" is the Audio Pro Network. Every day I get a digest of what people posted and even though I’ve only been a member for a few months I can see that this is something I will be involved with for years to come. I see that it gives me a feeling of connection to the professionals all around me even though we are in different cities. Ideas are shared and suggestions for gear and there’s no "hyped" commercial sales activity going on…it’s just real people in my industry sharing ideas. So glad I found it.Ray Palagy

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Audio Pro Network?
Facebook, Instagram and Twitter can no longer successfully provide the security, dedication, and focus that private groups need. These platforms have grown so large that meaningful conversations are constantly pitted against trolls and misinformation. Audio Pro Network is a private niche social community dedicated to the audio industry, with a high signal to noise ratio and a separate mentorship platform, Audio Pro Network is supporting the industry as well as the next generation of audio professionals. If you aren’t already a member, consider joining and pull the patch on big social.
How long have you been around?
I've been around for a pretty long time! My name is Joe Miuccio, the founder of Audio Pro Network, and I've been an audio post professional for over 30 years in New York City. I formed Audio Pro Network way back in 2008 as a private social network for verified audio professionals. In 2019 I launched the mentorship platform, successfully helping and inspiring members from all over the world.
Why did you start Audio Pro Network?
I wanted to increase my professional contacts in the industry and I wasn’t satisfied with the audio message boards and business networks of the day. Non-professional members on those sites contributed to misinformation and the experience was often an unfriendly one for me. So, I set out to create a welcoming, helpful environment with a bigger objective; Create a new, friendly pro audio culture, combined with an inclusive mentorship platform to help the next generation.
What's the difference between the professional and mentorship platforms?
The Professional membership is a customized private social network designed with a low noise floor. It's a professional atmosphere with no trolls, bots or tracking. It comes with a host of benefits and it's free for verified Professionals.
Why are the professional and mentorship communities free?
Professional membership has always been free and it was always my promise that it would remain so. There are already many free social networks, so charging for Audio Pro Network didn’t seem like the right thing to do.Mentorship: When I was young I was lucky to work with great people that mentored me from the very humble beginnings of my career. Nowadays that kind of generosity is very hard to find. I made the Mentorship Platform so I could give back to the industry I love.
