Paul Lapinski is an audio engineer who specializes in engineering, water polo, mixing, producing and mastering. He hails from Orange Park, Florida and began a professional career in audio as the Chief Engineer at HOLE OF THE PIGEON STUDIOS in 1996. He later designed, geared and engineered Vision Sound Studios as the Chief Engineer in Orange Park, FL (2003–2008). He is now the Chief Engineer at MPS Studios in Jacksonville, FL.

Most notably, Lapinski helped launch the career of the Red Jumpsuit Apparatus (RIAA Certified GOLD),[1] by mixing and mastering their first demos that led them to be signed with Virgin Records. The song "Face Down" originally mixed by Lapinski went on to be (and still is) one of the greatest hits in 2006.

Hole of the Pigeon (1996–2003) Originally named for Lapinski's band, Pigeonhole, Hole of the Pigeon was one of the first industry producing home studios in the Jacksonville area. Using some of the original ADAT machines and a Yamaha digital DM1000V2, Lapinski scouted and recorded some of the most notable bands that have originated in Jacksonville in the late 1990s and early 2000s - Yellowcard, Limp Bizkit, Inspection 12,[3] DJ (Alicia Keys Road Manager), Greyfield, Start Trouble.

Vision Sound Studios (2004–2008) Scott Fravala (original proprietor of Vision Sounds) approached and bought out HOLE OF THE PIGEON Studios in 2004.
