About AudioSwag

Built by Someone Who Actually Lives This World

I'm David Frangioni. I've spent my career inside studios, on tour buses, behind consoles, and deep in gear — from helping pioneer Pro Tools and digital audio back when we were all figuring it out together, to producing and engineering records for artists like Aerosmith, Shakira, Ozzy Osbourne, Ariana Grande, Kiss, and a long list of others I'm incredibly grateful to have worked with. Since 2019 I've been the CEO & Publisher of Modern Drummer magazine, staying connected to the musician community I love most.

At some point you accumulate enough sessions, enough war stories, and enough questionable gear purchases to realize something: the people who actually work in music — the producers, engineers, sound crew, DJs, drummers, beatmakers, and every other beautiful weirdo who lives inside this world — deserve better merchandise than what you find at some random print-on-demand warehouse.

Why AudioSwag Exists

AudioSwag.rocks was born out of a simple idea: what if the merch actually meant something? What if the designs were made by someone who knows what Pro Tools looks like at 2am, who understands why "I ACCEPT NO FEEDBACK" is the funniest and truest thing a guitar amp graphic can say, and who gets that the sound crew deserves way more recognition than they get?

That's this store. Every design here is a nod to the culture — the language, the inside jokes, the pride of the craft. Mugs, tees, hoodies, coasters — the everyday stuff — made for people who spend their days (and nights) chasing the perfect take.

Who This Is For

Whether you're a seasoned engineer who still runs Pro Tools like it's a religion, a Logic devotee who will argue about it at any hour, a touring sound tech who builds the show everyone else gets credit for, or a producer who needs their coffee mug to say something more accurate than "World's Best Boss" — you're home.

We salute you, sound crew. And we made this for you.
