Project - Recording Studio

Bringing your musical vision to life

Our Services

We offer comprehensive recording solutions for artists and producers

Recording

While Pro Tools is available, our studio is built around an analogue-focused workflow centered on Universal Audio's Luna DAW. We seamlessly blend premium outboard gear with high-quality plugins to give you the best of both worlds.

Our control room features custom-designed acoustic treatment for precise, honest monitoring through Tannoy Dual Concentric Super Red Monitors, ensuring you hear exactly what you're creating.

The tracking and vocal room offers adjustable acoustics and a carefully curated collection of industry-standard microphones, providing the flexibility to capture any sound you're after.

Mixing

Every great song deserves a mix that brings it to life. Whether you're an independent artist or signed to a label, we bring decades of experience across multiple genres to your project. Already recorded elsewhere? Send us your stems and we'll create a professional mix that elevates your music.

Vocal Tuning
Pitch-perfect vocals that sound natural and authentic, maintaining the emotion and character of your performance.

Reamping
Transform your sound by running previously recorded DI signals through carefully selected amplifiers, giving you access to classic tones even after the recording session is done.

About Us

My journey in music began with classical training on violin and piano, but it was in the studio doing session work that I discovered my true calling. Moving to the other side of the glass as a studio engineer changed everything.

For two decades through the 1970s and 1990s, I worked alongside high-profile producers, engineering, producing, and arranging across a wide range of genres. As a songwriter, I've secured several publishing contracts over the years, adding another dimension to my craft.

A career change took me into electronics and IT, but music never left me. Now retired, I'm returning to what I've always loved most: recording and production. Over the past three years, I've built a project studio that combines the warmth of analogue equipment with the precision of modern digital technology. All rooms are fully air conditioned and acoustically treated to ensure optimal recording conditions.

With decades of experience and a fresh perspective, I'm here to help bring your music to life.
