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.
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.

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 private, invitation-only social network designed with a low noise floor. It offers a focused, professional environment with no trolls, bots, ads, or tracking. Professional membership is free for verified audio professionals and includes access to a range of community benefits.
The Mentorship community is separate from the Professional community. At its core, it operates with the same standards and structure, but with one key difference. Within the Mentorship platform, you will find private sub-communities led by individual volunteer mentors. These mentor-led spaces are independently run and maintained, allowing each mentor to guide and support their mentees in a more personal, hands-on way.
