Centric Recording

I carry a lot of my mastering ethos into my work in the studio during sessions, where applicable. Its the engineering aspects that I really enjoy, while I tend to leave production to those whom I trust more with the job than myself (not to say I am adverse to production). The circuits, the mic placement, the acoustics, the patching, the ADSRs & Control Voltages, the tape reels, the psychoacoustics, the resonance of instruments, the mechanics of emotions.
In the live room and booths, as mentioned above, I love working with tangible, physical things. The drumset, is a particular favourite of mine to record, and there are some examples below that you can explore.
In the control room, I am adaptable to a wide range of setups and systems, from all-analogue, to complex AoIP digital and everything in between. Through my work in live-audio, I have developed critical troubleshooting skills to keep a session moving no matter what.
The intricacy of multitrack recording is exceptional, and it is hugely rewarding to sculpt an entirely new sound for an artist, as much as it is to nail their exacting requirements, to meet their own strict & personal standards.
