Yesterday, I finally got to record some drums as I wanted to try a few new mic ideas but what ended up happening was that I got to play on a song. It's been a while and it took four takes but the last one stayed in whole, no editing needed. Either way a good day. #drumming #recording #mixing #producing #drums #drumset #drumkit

Had a great session recording metal guitars through our little @engl_amps yesterday. Fun thing is, it didn't sound little at all. I love the amp as you can dial in tones easily and sent it through the @ams_neve using our beloved @sontronics Delta microphone. It's became one of my favourites for a lot of guitars lately. The @orangeamplifiers I used the day before, with the same setup on a rock song and it sounded fantastic also. Today, a bit of session cleaning up and a final mix tweak...good times. #recording #mixing #producing #recordingstudio #londonsound #musiclover #guitarporn

Hello vocals, we like you very much. Switched on and the sound is there. Same goes actually for guitars, drums and all other things. Took me a while to fully get into them as they can also Sound aggressive but now I love them. #recording #singer #songwriter #acoustic #pop #vocals #neve #1073

Favourite instrument to record today so far...djembe. This particular one sounds really nice, with a big warm bass and the chain wasn't too bad either with it all ending up in the Neve. Sometimes a soft bit of percussion underneath a ballad, that gives a bit of a pulse, can make all the difference. Just saying... Now a quick rough mix and done for today. #weekend #session #recording #djembe #percussion #instruments #singersongwriter

I guess it was just a matter of time... Since so many people told me how good they are and I've seen them here and there, used them in a few studios, it was time to take advantage of the 15 years of @fabfilter_plugins discount and get a bunch of them for very little money. I can already say they are so intuitive that I can see them become my go to for the daily tasks. Will figure things out over the next few weeks, expect more posts. #recording #mixing #producing #mastering #fabfilter #protools #plugins

Had to export a few different rough mixes and needed something that's light on the CPU that also doesn't change the sound too much. I remembered I've used the @pluginalliance BX Limiter for that in the past and it did a great job again. Good to check what's going on is Voxengo Span that I've mentioned a few times already. It's free, so if you don't have anything, get it. #happyfriday #mixing #producing #recordingstudio #londonsound #musiclover #musicproducer

I've had some vocals that needed a more natural treatment and the classic Metric Halo channelstrip was perfect for that (again). With just gentle dips and minor changes (good recording) it was done and went into the @wavesaudio RVox where it got the final squash. #mixing #singersongwriter #acoustic #folk #pop #music #production

Bass. I've had a super nice driving grunge bass the other day and the @wavesaudio JJP Bass plugin was nice to get a bit of edge into the otherwise fairly normal DI signal. It's sometimes a bit hard to find the right balance with it but this time it was just perfect. After that it went into the beloved @uaudio Pultec which often ends up on bass guitars. Classic. #mixing #bass #guitar #progrock #hardrock #artist #musicproduction

Vocals. Working on some vocals and trying the @uaudio Fairchild 660 once again. There's something magical about this one and how it colours. Not for all music but sometimes perfect. I've had the pleasure with real ones a few times and, even though the plugin is not the same thing, it has the same vibe and the advantage of having lots of them (plus wet/dry). Having the @hofa_studios IQ de-esser before it is also good to clean that nicely. Just saying. #mixing #singer #vocals #progrock #ep #production #weekend #mix #session
