1116studio founder and audio engineer Yiğithan Gital completed his degree in Audio Production & Sound Engineering at SAE Institute Berlin. During his studies, he won first place in the Neumann x SAE Institute Berlin – Immersive Audio Trailer Competition and was awarded by Neumann.
His musical journey began in childhood with drum lessons. After years of playing instruments and being immersed in music, he turned to electronic music production in 2019, discovering the world of beatmaking, production, mixing, and mastering.
At the age of 20, he was admitted to the Music Technology Department at Dokuz Eylül University's Faculty of Fine Arts, ranking fifth among accepted applicants, and began his academic education in audio engineering. During this period, he developed his approach to recording, sound design, mixing, and mastering through independent productions across a wide range of genres, including Trap, R&B, Hip-Hop, Rap, Synthwave, and Pop.
In 2022, he moved to Berlin to pursue a Bachelor's degree in Audio Production & Sound Engineering at SAE Institute Berlin. There, he deepened his expertise in recording, mixing, mastering, acoustics, and immersive audio, while developing his own workflow built around the integration of technical knowledge and creative decision-making. One of the projects he released during his studies appeared on the Radio Charts and Turkey Top 50 charts.
Throughout this journey, a hybrid workflow combining the character of analog audio processing with modern digital production tools gradually became central to Yiğithan's working philosophy and the foundation of 1116studio's approach.
