About me: Ninja mastering engineer, funky flautist, bad sax player, trainee yogi and general all round dude.
New toy alert!! I've just taken delivery of a brand new Manley Slam mastering limiter (see photo). It's basically one of the best boxes money can buy for making music louder, and it will be a lot more sympathetic to the music than the digital tools I've used up to now. I am in audio geek heaven :-)
By day... I get to play with music all day. It's my job! Check out the studio in the Pics and Videos section to the left here, or have a look at the website on
www.hafodmastering.co.uk. It's a serious fully-fledged professional mastering studio, where we take people's finished mixes and sqeeze 'em, tease 'em, bend 'em, shake 'em, wave the magic wand, put them all together and make sure that they jump out of the speakers at you.
We have put a new song up for you, it’s only a rough demo which hasn’t really been mixed well and hasn’t been produced but it will give you a taster of what may come next in our next recording sessions which we are trying to set before Christmas.
Enjoy! It’s called 'Stop'. Please tell us what you think.

Andy Hickie After "working his soul dry" to buy a camper van, Andy's master plan is well into effect to keep on moving, searching for enlightenment and inspiration along the way... For the past year and a half he has followed the trail blazed by troubadours like Martin Carthy and Bert Jansch, travelling around the major cities and towns of Ireland, England and Wales, gigging, busking, collecting stories and sharing his songs and music the old fashioned way. www. myspace. com/andyhickie
