What I do

I’ve been mixing professionally since 1985: front of house on the road, in the studio as a recording engineer and record producer, and live to air for broadcast. Based in the UK and the US, I work worldwide. Credits include Moby, New Order, Run The Jewels, Robyn and Röyksopp.

​

International touring and concert sound

Front of house for world tours, festival runs and one-off shows. I advance every date with the venue and the production, build the mix in rehearsals, and deliver the same show night after night, from clubs to arenas to festival main stages. I mix on the Avid S6L and work hand in hand with suppliers such as Clair Global, so the system is right before doors open.

​

Studio recording and album mixing

Recording, mixing and mastering for singles, EPs and albums, in person in Manchester or Los Angeles, or remotely from your stems. I learned the craft at Strawberry Studios under Martin Hannett, and I still mix as if a record is being made: every part in its place, every song with a point of view.

​

Stereo and 5.1 broadcast mixing for live performances

When a show goes out to the world, the mix has to be right first time. I mix live performances for television, radio, streaming and live albums, in stereo and 5.1 surround: live to air on the night, or recorded multitrack and mixed afterwards for release.

​

Sound system setup, tuning and alignment

A great mix starts with a PA that tells the truth. I design, set up, time-align and tune systems for the room, so the band walks out to a rig that already sounds right. Tours, festivals, venues and installations, from a single show to a full run.

​

Audio production for major artists and independent acts

Pre-production, production rehearsals and getting a show ready for the road, for headliners and independent acts alike. You get the same care either way: honest advice, a clear plan, and a mix that serves the song rather than the gear.
