    Here's another cover from Mason's last EP. Recorded this one from the ground up (as well as the last Kreator cover) so let me know if you have any questions about the process!

    Kreator - Murder Fantasies cover

    Thought that some of you old timers might be into this one. This cover was included on an EP I engineered late last year - just released by the band today. YouTube crushes it a fair bit, but you still get an idea. Let me know if you have any questions about the production process!

    Athena's Wake - Witches

    Thought you guys might get a kick out of this one. It's not often I work on deathcore. Aussie band called 'Athena's Wake' - a bunch of stupidly proficient musicians, and solid songwriters to boot. The song was tracked by Anthony Iorio & Andrew Scott. Mixed and mastered by yours truly. I was...

    Mastering Onslaught @ Systematic Productions

    It's been quite a crazy year over here. Along with the usual slew of mixing work, we've transitioned over quite heavily into mastering, and had the pleasure to work on some kickass records to boot. The year started with Periphery's 'Juggernaut' records: Then moved onto an intense stem-master...

    Elm Street - Heart Racer

    It's been a while since I shared something I've worked on with you guys. As I recall, there were some fans here of the first record we did together, so here's the single from Elm Street's new EP, 'Heart Racer'. The recording process for this one was quite classical. Booked out the best studio...

    Feared 'Synder' Album

    Noticed that nobody here is talking about this. I think Ola's written one of the best albums of his career. Two video singles are already out, and the album is due for release late next month.

    SSD for an audio drive?

    Hey guys, Been a while for me, and my audio workstation is finally starting to run out of steam. I'm doing a new build soon, and wondering whether SSDs are capable of being run as audio project disks? Is it a more elegant solution than my current RAID0 array of standard drives? Cheers!

    New Keyboard

    The time has come to retire my beloved Logitech Illuminated Keyboard. Unfortunately you can't get these in Australia anymore, so I'm stuck having to move to another model. I tried a Razer Deathstalker, but it feels like a pile of garbage, comparatively. Anybody have suggestions on which...

    Feared - Huldra Reamping Test (EVH 5150 III & Framus Cobra)

    Hey guys, Ever since we flooded our studio with amps, I've been on a search to go to the next level in terms of guitar tones. Last week I used the Feared - Vinter stems in order to test out some new methods, and came up with this. I left a bit of the low-end flub in there in order to get a...

    Pointers for surviving as a career Audio Engineer

    It's been a while since I've sat down and written anything particularly informative on this board. A recent thread got me thinking about a stage in a person's audio engineering career that people seldom give any real thought to. This applies mainly to those few of you who hope to do this as a...

    Memnoir - Rain

    Thought some of you might be interested in this. My latest work. Got to produce, reamp, mix and master on this one. Always a ball to work with Tyger, as he's all about the songwriting, dynamics and layers. As always, if you have any questions about the production, shoot away and I'll do my best...

    New tubes for my 6505

    Hey all, Was hoping to get some advice from the local amp gurus. I've had my 6505 since about 2009, and it's had JJs in all positions for all the time I've owned it. It sounds alright, and I can decent tones from it, but it sounds a bit stifled and muffly, especially in contrast to 5150 IIs...
