About Me

It's been a big few years for me, I've been doing my thing for over ten years now and have always run my sessions with an emphasis on whats best for the band I'm working with/for , and what is the best production style for the type of music. Wanna be clean and crisp or fuzzy and messed up or just plain old big, I can sort it. I spent years collecting together equipment for my studio. I collect strange guitar pedals and guitars, microphones, old recording gear. Digital may have better audio quality, but analogue has the fatness and presence you just can't get with a bunch of computer chips. Because of the merits of both types of equipment, I have a hybrid valve/analogue/digital studio, with some of the best pieces of both, all valve and vintage solid state preamps and channels, to get the warmth and smoothness from your playing, with start of the art digital converters and processing to make sure you lose nothing when it hits the computer, (a giant calculator doesn't have ears, no matter how good the software)and then again top quality analogue mixing to finish.I have tried many of the products on the market, and believe I have a collection of some of the best, I am proud to use equipment by NEVE, SSL, TL AUDIO , TRIDENT ,ROYER, NEUMAN ,MANLEY, DBX and many other names from the golden era of recording historyPLEASE FEEL FREE TO CHECK OUT MY WEBSITE WWW.NWPRODUCTIONS.CO.UK The best layouts ProfileGenie.com Get Your Own! | View Slideshow
