Solid Air Mastering Service

15/01/2025

Exciting projects have been happening at the studio working with ex Dream Circuit band member Paul Wassall on a nee colloborative EP

Also session work helping to put together am album for ex Wizard of ID drummer Nick Hames and songwriter Billy Hobbs from Buxton.

All will be revealed soon along with a new studio gear demo that has really stepped up my game for a smoother workflow including using softube emulations and external automated mixers and control.

Had a steep learning curve and lots of issues trying to get softube to work with my pc but starting to get to grips now with its great potential and already hearing a greater depth and detail in my mixes/mastering.

About time I updated this page.
Just been working on a project for Martyn Hasbeen, involving a live recording at Sonic Rock Solstice in Bromsgrove of his band Dr Hasbeen (including early Hawkwind members Dave Anderson and Nick Turner)

The stereo files are not bad considering straight off the desk output, but a little challenging as of course there's no possibility of re mixing it seems.
Will update with some info soon on how I improved the clarity of the 11 tracks which will be on the Dr Hasbeen new live album.
