FIXED HINGE

 

Through blood and sweat and a couple of broken bones, I HAD a recording "shed" STUDIO BUILT IN 2014.

its A SPACIOUS LIVE ROOM: 425 SQ ƒeet OF JOY, it is a perfect place for me and all the musical nonsense I love to work on TO BE HOUSED IN.

we tracks lots of variables here, from live bands to classical piano music A BEAUTIFUL 1963 LUGWIG DRUM KIT AND A RESTORED 1930'S HEINTZMAMN UPRIGHT piano greets you and it goes from there.

FRANKLY, It is my pride and joy in non human form. 

 

GEAR

We have a nice selection of preamps and outboard gear (Neve, API, Stam Audio, Universal Audio) with a beauty vocal chain that includes an 1176, La2a, la3a and api 525

microphone seleCtion, which i think works great here, Including:1971 Neumann u87, 1973 Neumann M582, aea 44RCA, ROyer 121’s, Townsend Labs sphere and many others for the drums and things.

MANY vintage ELECTRIC AND ACOUSTIC OPTIONS EXIST, AND IM A LOVER OF MINI SYNTHS, SO LOTS OF THAT ACTION

I record using Logic X through universal audio Apollo coverters. I use lots of the amazing universal audio plugins & also love the soundtoys and plugin alliance products out there.

I mix everything through a dangerous audio summing mixer, which perfectly melds the digital and analog worlds in my mind. 

many thanks to HHB canada and Universal Audio for the amazing and continued support.

 

Projects

 

I am not a "studio" per say but I have studio. Best way to sort out how much things cost is to chat and see if it is a good fit.

I love recording and making music and usually use the project rate, which is way better for you, but also have been know to work by song or day rates. 

I have Produced and recorded on a bunch of stuff already out here, but the names you might know are: POLARIS SHORT LISTED ARTISTS KATHLEEN EDWARDS AND LEANNE BETASOMESAKE SIMPSON, SUZIE UNGERLEIDER, Little scream, SUMMERSETS(KALLE MATTSON), evangeline gentle & Ken yates
