Hi there. I am a professional audio engineer with over 31 years experience. I started my training in 1989 in a pro studio recording to 24 track 2 inch analogue tape and mastering to 2 track 1/4 inch analogue tape. I opened my own studio in 1999 and have been working from there ever since.

I work in all genres but I have a huge amount of experience with live musicians, bands, artists. I specialise in acoustic instruments but have literally recorded 1000s of albums, E.Ps and singles over my 31 year career. I am not finished until you as a client are happy and I am a perfectionist meaning I do not mix anything in 2 hours. I am always happy to engage with the client to get the best from every project.

My studio is a hybrid studio using a wealth of high end mics, outboard effects, valve and solid state preamps, compressors and EQ. I use Lynx Aurora converters. I also have a huge set of plugins from Waves, Plugin Alliance and DUY plus lots of others from various brands.
Mixing/Mastering is a hybrid analogue and in the box process. I work in an acoustically tested, treated and calibrated control room. Speaker alignment and phase was done with Smaart V.8.
Outboard effects consist of Eventide, Lexicon, TC Electronic and Dolby.
Preamps,EQ,compression from Neve, Avalon, TLAudio, DBX and Focusrite.
Monitoring thru Genelec 1029a and 7060a sub.
I also use 5 x Genelec 8030 for 5.1 surround mixes.
My record chain is microphone, valve or solid state preamp, compressor/eq if needed, Lynx Auroras for conversions and into the mac.
When recording an X32 gets tracks back from the mac via Dante for feeding headphones around the studio.

Recent projects Include Lisa Hannigan, Saint Sister, James Vincent Mc Murrow, Gavin James.....
