My Recording Studio

My daily commute is a 10 second walk into my garden to my high spec, custom built, studio that we call the 'Pig-Sty'. From here I produce broadcast quality audio in any required format. The studio is tailor made to be totally soundproof using the room within a room isolation design. It has noise free air-con and is acoustically designed and treated with multi-frequency absorbers and a custom built quadratic diffuser to suit my voice and vocal range. It is so well designed and isolated that on 2 occasions when I've done sound tests for production houses, their engineer got back to me and asked if I'd used noise reduction software because there is virtually zero background noise. They were blown away when I said I hadn't, that's just how my studio sounds!

Every step of the audio chain has been meticulously thought through to suit my voice and be as versatile as

the performances I deliver.

I wanted purity of sound, total realism and clarity, as if you're sat in the room with me! So after much research and

many equipment comparison shoot outs we settled on Neumann mics and GML preamp/channel strip.

My engineer said to me "record to tape as clean and real as you can, cos with your VO stuff, if you want to colour your sound, warm it up or to 'sound-match' with another source you

can easily do it in post if your recording is clean and pure.

It's easier to colour a pure sound than it is to clean up a

coloured one."
