** News ** 2012 was an amazing year for me. I was fortunate enough to have mixed 3 #1 songs @ AC christian radio. Laura Story’s ‘Blessings’, Aaron Shust ‘My Hope is in You’ and Sidewalk Prophets single ‘You Love Me Anyway’. Other highlights were several #1 songs and albums on iTunes christian charts including Matt Redmans ‘10000 Resons’, Shane and Shanes latest, and Dara Macleans debut album

************************

Studio construction has been complete since Nov 2010 and I’ve been working in the new space since then. It is truly fantastic. Both in vibe and sonics. So if you’re in town please feel free to come by, say hello and get a lightning tour.

About the build:

I have a 520 sq ft. unfinished space in the castle I call home. Got an amazing 3d design underway thanks to Mr. Zac Marcengil. It is primarily purposed for my private mix room, but will have a a booth large enough for a drum kit and sound lock areas enough to track a full band if needed. This will be the 4th studio I have built in my 20 years in the business.  It will be by far the best both sonically and visually. See the links on the right for build progress

Geek info

Currently I am mixing in the box using a ProTools HD5 system, a huge arsenal of plugins and a great control surface. Big fan of total and quick recall for speedy revisions in the new world of perfection and creative searching. I grew up learning on SSL, Soundcraft, Soundtracs and AMEK mixing consoles. I did love those boards and learned a ton using (and owning) them, but I will never go back by choice. The rockstar glam factor of a lovely huge console is the only thing I miss. I am planning on installing an ICON console in the new room at some point to recapture some of that vibe. On a side note - having mixed in the box for 10 years now I can confidently say that for those who persist, the sonic rewards blow the old methods away at every level (other than the aforementioned glam factor). Feel free to flame that, but it is a genuine and not ill-informed belief.

Stay tuned ....
