With the liberalization of music-making, I've started seeing a trend for artists and engineers to take on more roles during the production of a track, EP, or album. It is not uncommon for artists to engineer large…

One of the things I get asked often is “what is the best sample rate for my project?”
I'll try to answer the best I can, backed by measurable facts, why I make the choices I do when choosing a sample-rate.

If you are looking for a cosy environment for a nice weekend away from London, recording away on a “budget”, then look no further.

For those of you that know me well, you know I am a very technically oriented guy. You know that I will not rest until I’ve opened every piece of gear in a studio to see what makes it tick…

I’ve had a lot of fun etching away PCB’s lately. As some of you may know, I took on a little hobby building guitar pedals, outboard analogue gear and other gizmos of the sort (oscillators, pocket synths etc.) 

Most people like to play around with breadboards and some sort of perfboards. I never got the hang of breadboarding. I always spent more time trying to debug the breadboard than testing components in the circuit.

Etching your own PCBs – now THIS is a whole different game.
