The Black Ravines – Johnny The Ghost (Production Process)
Hi everyone! First off, I now have a twitch channel and Youtube channel, that I’ll be posting (and streaming on twitch) my production process videos, and other stuff, on.

Sweethearts – Hurt And High (Production Process)
Hi everyone! A track I recorded, mixed and mastered with Hull band Sweethearts was released on the 11th February called Hurt And High. I thought it would be a good idea to talk about my production process for it since I haven’t done a post like this for a while, so lets get into it. The reference tracks they sent

For a good part of last year I worked with the band NOUR on their EP (released November) and their Sleeping Beauty/Happiness Punch double single (released January). All the tracks where recorded at Rooftop Recordings. This band were a pleasure to work with as they had come into the studio with all the songs fully practiced and ready to go,
Little Blue Thula – Live Session EP
It was a pleasure working with Little Blue Thula on their Live Session EP. The country/folk duo were really well rehearsed making the recording process easy. They wanted a really raw and live sound to the EP so recording entailed using minimal and simple micing techniques, plus a heavily used room mic to capture the sound of seeing them live.

Check out the new EP’s by Henrietta Lacks, System Paralysis and the ‘Disappointment’ single by NOUR, all mastered by me. Recorded and produced by Edward Alan Logie at The Warren (Hull).
