Lots of studio work happening at present in my own studio, from recording, mixing and mastering so don’t hesitate to get in touch if I can be of any help to you.

Over the past few months I've been beavering away putting together my new studio in Wick and now The Caithness Mix Room is my new space for writing / recording / mixing and mastering in my home town of Wick.

After years of visiting many great studios throughout the the UK, I've always yearned for my own space to work that suits my needs and now it's up and running I'm delighted with final result.

The room is based around my Pro Tools setup using Universal Apollo interfaces and Universal Audio Mic Pre Amps and countless UAD plugins.

My recording setup is also portable so I'm able to record projects in various locations and then bring it back to Wick for editing and mixing.

Mastering has been a big part of my life for many years, as before turning to be a full time professional musician and tutor I was a full time mastering engineer for Grampian Records. I've continued mastering over the years using various studios but delighted to have my own new studio up and running.

The studio also hosts a terrific array of sample libraries for orchestral, drum and pianos samples.

Online session work is also available and just some of the most recent sessions I've recorded at the Caithness Mix Room can be heard on Tim Edey's latest album and also Blair Douglas's December 2016 release.

Please don't hesitate to contact me about the studio for your new project and CD mastering, just visit the contact page.
