Studio Work

Recording & Mixing

Multi-Track Recording

Every part of the kit recorded on its own track, so there's full control over the sound at the mixing stage.

Mic Setup

AKG mics across the kit with a Shure SM57 on the snare - a setup that gives a full, controlled sound from the room to the close mics.

Mixing in Logic Pro

I mix in Logic Pro, offering a full mix so suit your track, or I can send you the raw stems if you'd rather do it yourself.

Remote Sessions

I'm there to serve the song first - but I'll always bring my own feel and ideas to the parts where it counts.

Remote Recording
