Envisioning and creating your dream musical masterpiece should be a truly fulfilling and joyous experience. This is not the case when you work with a grumpy engineer who makes it feel ‘transactional’, gives you no real insight or feedback as to whether your recordings are any good, and then when you hand them your ‘musical baby’, you are left with a feeling of just hoping for the best.
We aim to be there with you every step of the way, from initial concepts, recording and final masters, to release and distribution, so that your journey can be as productive and seamless as possible.
STEP 1 | What you love, what you hate, what moves and inspires you. These are all conversations that contribute to the career defining record we will help you create.
Rather than us assuming what you need, we would much rather take the time to get to know you and your project, and find out what you actually need. A simpleVIDEO CALL goes a long way to truly bringing your vision to life.
Whether you have demos that you are struggling to turn into a polished recording, or unfinished, uninspiring songs stuck in the 'hard drive grave’ with the others, we can help you find that inspirational spark again.
If you have been mixing for hours, forever falling deeper into the ‘home studio black hole’, and just cannot make your songs sound wide, heavy and dynamic like the latest releases on Spotify, we can help pull you out again.
The emotions of the songs, and what they make you as the performers and your fans feel, is the most important thing. Whatever you are trying to convey, we will bring that to the forefront of your music.
STEP 2 | Sending files can be a confusing and messy business, with them often getting corrupted or going missing. That’s why we aim to make it as painless and seamless as possible for you. Unsure what bit depth and sample rate to use when bouncing down your stems? Our HANDY GUIDE will show you the best format to put your precious files in, so they can result in a skull crushing mix.
If you use Cubase, Mixcraft or Reaper, then you can just send us the session file as it is, and we will take care of all the heavy lifting for you, so you can be rest assured your files are safe. Just click the BUTTON BELOW to get your files straight to us.
STEP 3 | We will then get to work mixing and mastering your project, while headbanging away and becoming fans of your music, all at the same time. And because we took the time to understandyou and your project in intricate detail, when you receive the finished files, you will hear what you hear in your head when you first imagined what the songs are supposed to sound like.
This is also the stage where the magic happens. Whether you asked for a bass drop so deep you feel it rattle your very core, a lead guitar lick so mesmerising in it's beauty that you just cannot help pulling out the air guitar, or a deeply moving soft piano and vocal track, it will all come to life. You can be truly proud of your record when it stands up with the best of them on new music Friday.
STEP 4 | Where most engineers will simply wish you good luck and move on to the next project at this point, we will work with you to create a plan for the promotion and release of your dream record. We should have already discussed the overall theme of your project in our initial conversations, so the artwork, banners and teasers we will create will convey the tone and mood of the record to your fans.
This is also where we discuss your marketing plans for music videos, getting on big playlists, radio airtime, booking shows, getting management and eventually pitching to potential labels. Exciting times ahead indeed!

Mobile Recording
If you have booked studio time, or want to record from the comfort of your own home/practice space without having to pay hugely overpriced daily rates in a studio, then we can come to you with our fully mobile rig to record your tracks. If you are overseas or further away, then we also offer an online remote recording service so that we can be right there to run the session with you. We offer advice on issues such as track headroom, guitar cab mic placement, DI recording levels, gain staging, among other things.
NOTE: For the most up to date times and availability regarding these services, please send us an email or use the live chat feature at the bottom of the page.
Mixing
The mix can make or break your song. It can be the difference between a mediocre track and a track that truly shines. Remember that first impressions count, and this is ultimately what the mix is all about. Get it right and make sure your track is unskippable to your fans.
If you are unhappy with a mix from a previously released song, then we would love the chance to work our magic and give it a new lease of life.
This is also the stage where we will edit your tracks, if needed.
Do not let an out of time drum performance or an out of tune vocal ruin what could be the next smash hit. Our painstaking approach to editing your tracks will ensure that your performance is as tight as possible, in tune and up to modern, professional level standards.
Mastering
Give your mix that final, polished sound and have it compete and stand toe-to-toe with other artists in your chosen genre. Our mastering process will transform your mix into a radio-ready, clearly defined, crisp work of art that you can be proud of. This process caters for all release platforms, whether it is for physical formats or streaming services.
No Detail Too Small When It Comes To Perfection For YOUR Music
Hi, I'm James, an Engineer/Producer based out of Birmingham, UK (The Home of Heavy Metal!) I am obsessed with heavy music. I literally eat, breathe and sleep metal and always have the latest banger stuck in my head that I'm humming to myself, or drumming my fingers to on the table (I'm a weirdo 😎)
I actually give a shit about your music and you will not find anyone more passionate and dedicated, when it comes to taking care of your music and making it sound the best and the most brutal it possibly can.
I have played in bands for over 10 years and have vast experience on the recording and live circuit, always being involved in the production process in some way. I take all of this experience and my extreme ear for detail to bring an obsessive level of quality to the music that I work on.
