I started my audio career working at a recording studio called CTS Studios in Wembley, which was a multi room complex. There I learnt how to record musicians playing in the same space at the same time (which is a pretty tricky concept for most people nowadays!) but I am also very experienced working with composers and musicians at their home studio recording single players.I can record orchestras, bands, big bands, choirs, soloists and singer songwriters all to an exceptional standard and I am good at helping performers by giving them all the tools they need to feel comfortable, relaxed and able to perform at their best.I am particularly well versed in engineering and producing music for picture and am well aware of all of the unique set of parameters that this entails. I do not, however, specialise in only one genre of music, as I like nearly all varieties, so consequently work within a wide range of music and gratefully, I have not been pigeon-holed into one format. This makes every working day different and allows me to take my experience from one project to another.I am fortunate to have seen a sea change in technology (most for the better!) so I have worked with analogue tape machines (yes, I have performed many edits using a Chinagraph and razor blade!), digital multitrack machines, analogue consoles, one of the first all-digital large format mixing consoles - the Neve Capricorn, all the way through to working on my laptop system using Logic and ProTools.One area of my work which I have honed over the last 10 years or so, is mixing in "home studios" for which I have a portable rig with various outboard and a Neve mixer in, that I use to blend all the elements together.For musicians who work from home, I also consult and help design systems, studios and ways of working, which helps me to obtain fantastic sounding recordings and mixes from relatively humble surroundings for them.I also regularly work at the remaining large studios in London.
