Production influences - Mike Stone, Gus Dudgeon, Stuart Epps, Chris Kimsey, Clive Franks (Fantastic Live Engineer) and many more. I'm a bit of a die hard Rocker and love the older style of production, when Tape was the used medium and things didn't consist of Zero's & One's. Each to their own. I know I use a full DAW!! but pros & cons and all that.......Tee Hee,
Have fun!!
Most of my time is now spent running 2 studios for the Youth Awareness Programme, producing and teaching young people how to record, make beats, and create their first masterpiece!. We have regular showcases for the acts in and around london and I'm happy to say that they have had great reviews. Most of the acts are all under the age of 18 and have never had the chance to make music until now. They get taught to use - Pro tools, Logic Pro, Reason etc... as well as basic grounding in signal routing and basic acoustics. Some of these Kids are incredible in how quickly they learn and understand the whole process of studio craft.
