About Chengyu
Chengyu Deng is a Chinese music producer, live, mixing & recording engineer, sound designer, DJ, and synth enthusiast with a focus on multichannel electronic music projects.
With a vast interest in electronic music since childhood, Chengyu started his career by exploring the knowledge of being a DJ. Through this, he established the technical understanding needed for his foray into the music production world. He also taught himself Ableton through the official manual to build on skills such as editing, mixing, synthesis, and audio processing. With his continuous pursuit in the field of music technology, he adapted this skill set to live sound and sound design across live events, drama, and short films.
In 2019, he aimed for a higher education in music technology, which led to his studies in the US. While applying for universities, he also did several audio for video projects in the format of short films—his responsibilities included field recording, ADR recording, video and audio editing, and scoring.
Following the completion of his bachelor’s and master's degree in Music Technology at NYU, he systematically learned audio-related fields across a wide range of settings, from studios to live events. Driven by his passion, he continues the pursuit of a master's degree, shifting his focus to Max/MSP, multichannel studies on creative synthesis, electronic music production, and installations.

My approach to tutoring is rooted in combining technical clarity with real-world application. I don’t just teach tools—I teach how and why things work, so students can independently solve problems and develop their own workflow.
Teaching method and techniques:
I use a systems-based, hands-on approach. Concepts are introduced through practical examples (e.g., building a synth patch, mixing a track, or designing sound for a scene), then broken down into underlying principles like signal flow, frequency balance, and dynamic control. I adapt pacing based on the student and emphasize active learning—students are always doing, not just listening.
Typical lesson plan:
A session usually starts with a quick review of previous work, followed by a focused concept (such as EQ strategy or Ableton workflow optimization). We then apply it immediately in a guided exercise using the student’s project or a provided session. I end with actionable feedback and a small task to reinforce the concept.
What sets me apart:
My background in music technology and audio for visual media means I bridge creative and technical thinking. I focus on helping students understand systems deeply—so they’re not dependent on presets or tutorials—and build workflows that scale across music, film, and interactive media.
Who the lessons are for:
Beginner to intermediate students, including hobbyists, aspiring producers, and students in music or media programs. Especially useful for those interested in electronic music production, sound design, Ableton, and audio for visual media.
