As many of you will already know, I have recently had to close the doors on the place that has been my studio for close to 4 years. It has been incredible hosting such a wide range of incredible musicians, all of whom have taught me valuable lessons on how to be a serious producer. I will be continuing to share the results of recent projects over the next few weeks to help support the talent I’ve been lucky to work with. I will always be available for production and mix work so hit me up if you’re interested. Thank you all

have just released their debut single SWEAT SHOP. Absolutely stoked they chose to record with me (after much pestering), bunch of great lads and super tight players. We had a lot of fun during the session and there’s more to come! If you like hard rock, go give the track a spin!

If I haven’t made it obvious from previous posts, drum kits are one of my favorite things to record in the studio. Tin Dolphin’s live room is dry and tight, ideal for music where detail and punch is key. Pictured are a few recent setups from heavy music sessions.

At Tin Dolphin I love to record electric guitars. Particularly been enjoying this oversize cab fitted with 2x Celestion V-Type speakers. Brings out all the punch and character of any amp I throw at it

Got the chance to set up some room mics in the lounge above the studio, sounded just as good as I expected! (Microphone setup pics in the comments)

Huge weekend with the mighty Moshpitt Cheers to the band for being such legends and fantastic musicians, nailing 3 songs in 2 days. Also big shoutout to Daryl Tapsell and Dave Morello for loaning us some gear that made the session even sweeter. Plenty of music and video content to come from this one very soon, keep your ears and eyes peeled!
