Music Producer | Musician | Mix Engineer
Hang with me for five mins while I walk you through some drum mixing ideas, tips, techniques. Nothing crazy but often this attention to detail or effort is missed. Drums are a hugely important part of any production (besides those without drums!). Ableton live has some incredible sounding and very cool stock plugins, including Drum Bus – which is all over my mixes and productions.

This song is a real journey. A great piece of songwriting that was a collaborative journey to create. I was sent an old demo recording. From this I built a new, more cohesive and solid instrumental and then the vocals were recorded by @_nee_nee_no_no_ in The Netherlands. Then after I received these, I adjusted things and re-recorded some layers so it all felt like a band playing together. Most parts were recorded in one take. Can’t wait for it to be out there! It’s called Red by Nee Nee No No.

Drum programming, electric guitar & synths by me
Really delighted with and inspired by my newly acquired Fender Telecaster (2016 MIM standard). Feels perfect to play, sounds lush and looks damn cool! Already among my favourite guitars I’ve owned.
Have you added parallel compression to your production skills yet? Well you’d better catch up! Us Pro’s have been doing it forever and you’re missing a trick!
ou want more energy & vibe in your tracks right? Here’s six minutes of me wanging on about how parallel compression will do this. Ableton Live heads will wanna watch the whole thing but if you’re here for the concept then the first few mins will open that door. I think my pal Ed Chivers showed me the chain selector blending technique – works a treat!
