Jan 2012 -
A bit late but happy new year everybody, good luck all for 2012. I only just got the retro
doublewide compressor. I also purchased a AML 54F50 compressor for my api lunchbox.
Have not yet tested these properly but seem super smooth on vocals. Working with
production team Muddyloop
from London - Top notch urban/pop productions.
Oct 2011 - Busy times thankfully ! One of producers I have been working with is a chap called Steve Jones. Very talented indeed. He's been writing for an artist called Junior Guevarra. They are getting together his four track showreel because of interest from Sony publishing. I 've been mixing and mastering their songs !! Website - Stevie-jones.com Aug 2011 - Jon Allegro was one of my first customers when I started mixing professionally back in 2009. He's currently No.1 and No.3 in the Stompy.com top 100 charts. Well done Jon!, your hard work is paying off! I'm not sure how big Stompy.com is but I think it's fairly big amongst the dance producers. Check out his track 'Honey Honey'. Jul 2011 - One of the Mix-off's hosted on gearslutz.com was by Ken Lewis. Not only is he a top US mix engineer (Kayne West, Usher, Mary J. Blige) he also produces aswell. He provided the audio files for the mix-off and also critique'd the 50 entries. Giving all participants very valuable feeback. My mix got a great review and was listed as one of the top 3. My hard work is paying off !! Thanks Ken. Link to thread discussion. May 2011 - Budding engineers, there are a couple of mixoff's on gearsluts.com. The tracks sound great. So get the raw audio and practice your music mixing skills. I'll enter both. Links go here : Mix-off 1        Mix-off 2 Apr 2011 - Starboy Records are back with there 2nd album from Yung Tunez! Album to be released 11.11.11. Mixed a cut called 'Do em'. Very nice clean sounding hiphop joint !! Hopefully it will make the ablum, fingers crossed. Brought the Uad studer A800 tape sim plugin. Cant really explain how this sounds but it adds a really nice shine to a vocal. Tried it on the mix bus for rap mix. Worked well too. Very impressed with UAD as usual. Still haven't decided on a new PC yet !! Mar 2011 - Finished off another two tracks on Wayneroy's album. He's getting some great feedback !! Album to be released on the 14th April. Good luck !!

Looking at the new sandy Bridge motherboards with the intel i7 2600 processor's !! Insane speeds !! I'll let you now what I get soon !!! Feb 2011 - Got my head around Pro tools 9. Love the ease of editing, setup of inputs outputs, bus and aux sends !!Which is better Cubase or Pro tools ?. Neither, both are brilliant programs !!! I also upgraded PT9 with the complete production toolkit 2. This basically upgrades Pro tools to have the same features as Pro Tools HD. I've been mixing rock, pop, dance, R and B and Hiphop so a busy start to the year !! Check out the first track on my player !! Love that track !!! Jan 2011 - Happy New Year !

And finally the track by group 'Born of Grace' song 'On the road'. Some of my favourites !!! Enjoy !! Sep 2010 - On my photos/videos page there is a short video I made about my online mixing service. I wanted show clients, who the person is behind my mixing website, and give a brief intro. Lately there has been a lot of online mixig sites appearing. Showing off very nice SSL desks. Are these pictures there studio ? Are they actually mixing your tracks there ? With very little information about themselves, who is the mix engineer ?????
