New Blog Post!

Sorry, it's a bit of a long one, but this is what it's all be aiming towards... how does the room actually sound? Find out here:

The Perfect Studio The purpose of this (and many) studio builds is to create a great listening space, a place where one can mix and/or master audio with complete clarity and translation to the 'outside world'. To achieve this, we firstly need to know what constitutes a great listening space, an answ...

Found myself with a bit of free time during self-isolation, so decided to do some speaker calibration and room measurements. While here I thought I’d take the opportunity to compare a couple of room correction softwares… keep your eyes pealed for the eventual blog.

Hit me up if you want your music mixed or mastered in a room with great acoustics!

Back on the Studio Build Diary... very close to finishing now! Have a read over on my website:

The Final Finishes... Hiding, Hiding, Hiding! At this point, the studio as a working room had, by all intents and purposes, been built. But there were still a few of those final steps to make the finish look plush. First of all, the ventilation and access points needed to be hidden/cupboarded away.....

NEW BLOG POST: How I built my guitar pedalboard. Have a read below.

The Design Clearly, I had reached the point where I just wanted to fill my still-to-be-finished studio with more furniture! Shortly after building my sidecar, I decided I also needed a new guitar pedalboard. My current pedalboard was designed for lugging about gigging, it was a sturdy case but was f...

BLOG POST: A touch off topic this week... I turned my hand to what could loosely be called 'carpentry'. How I made my studio sidecar - for rack gear and storage. Have a read, there's a video and everything.

Studio Sidecar Design Remember a few blog posts back, when talking about audio connections, I hinted at the concept of always preparing for expansion? Well, that's exactly what I didn't do with my studio desk! I started to realise I was running out of rack space (why is new gear always so tempting?)...

Had a productive weekend producing a track for a new artist. Butters came down to lend her ultrasonic ears.

NEW BLOG POST: Some cosmetic improvements... but it doesn't just look nice, there are acoustic reasons for the choice in fabric.

Now we can begin to make the studio look nice...ish! As I was using the original brick walls as the boundaries of the studio, I wouldn't be finishing off my treatment with plasterboard. Firstly, this would undo some of the acoustic treatment, and it would, in part, make my room acoustically smaller,...

Blog Time! And boy do you not wanna miss this one! All about the exciting world or... audio cables :/

But seriously, have a read!

One part of the pre-planning stage for the studio build involved thinking about convenient connectivity. Ideally I wanted all connections to be within easy reach, near the appropriate equipment, while also being out of the way. The last thing I wanted was unsightly cables and looms running across th...
