Open All Hours (and all weathers)


This is the snowiest we have been in Sussex since I was a kid! I braved into work on Monday and got the Berrymeister to take this shot of me in front of the studio.
I have noticed online that there is a "Stables Studio" in Eastbourne which is interesting, but they don't have pics up so I'm none the wiser as to whether they are a decent set up or not.
I have trialed a new mastering set-up method which is to record the mix direct from the studio G5 mac via the TC Electronic Finalizer, then the Drawmer 1969 compressor (or vice versa, sometimes I use the Drawmer first) back into Logic pro on my Macbook pro. This chain gives a professional result and also the ability to dirty recordings up a bit. I worked on Pecker demo which I play bass on, you can hear it on: www.myspace.com/peckergroup , tho at the moment he has earlier version up.
Even when I master it to full volume I still find that on myspace recordings don't sound as loud as I'd like, perhaps this is when it gets converted to mp3.
I am looking forward to recording the Ethnics soon, and will get a chance to use the new Allen and Heath ZED 16R desk....
Thanks for reading.
