Hey everyone.. Back to the studio tomorrow to continue with the Ion Vein guitar tracking. Everything so far has gone spiffingly well. Now we move onto the 7 strings. There's quite a few things brewing now... 1. Pamela Moore's album will be available on April 19th. I'm waiting to see the...

In the once proud tradition of The Beatles' "Abbey Road" , Pink Floyd's "The Wall", Led Zeppelin's "Physical Graffiti" and everything Spinal Tap... I'd like to share some golden nuggets (shh) from the making of: Ion Vein - "The Complete And Utter Load Of Bollocks" I think this thread...

The annual Auslander shameless plug-fest. Sorry, but this is a bit late this year as I've been really busy and hadn't got round to it until now. The year has started off well with the recent self-titled release from Degree Absolute (Sensory) and the soon to be released remix of Torture's...

I thought that it was probably most appropriate to post here first that Jeff played on the new Pamela Moore album that I just finished mixing, and in fact have been producing on and off (based on Pam's touring schedule with the Queensryche lads) since early July last year. Originally, Jeff...

to all the Nevermore lads... Good luck in 2006. Hopefully I'll get a chance to catch up with you guys this year. Neil K.

Over the last few months I've been assessing peoples' opinions on their favourite mic pres. A couple of years ago I did a very extensive mic pre test, pitting 4 or 5 different Neve pres against API, SSL and a number of other *boutique* pres I'd gathered for the tests along the way. The hands...

As some of you may have read here or seen posted on a variety of other forums, there are a few interesting projects brewing, so here's a summary of some things that are upcoming for the rest of the year (at least for now) 1. Sickening Horror - I'm about to mix the new CD by this very cool...

Hey guys: I was just wondering what format of hard drives people are preferring these days. I've had somewhat mixed results with Firewire 800 (in my experience they sometimes just disappear from the desktop with no warning whatsoever). I have a boatload of FW 400 drives, including a brand new...

Hi all: I'm finally (sort of) back in the land of the living after yet another prolonged road trip. I apologise for the lack of updates as it's been a very busy year, so I'll try to make this a fairly thorough update. The new Akercocke album is about to come out next week. I'm really...

Woohoo! you hunky man-beast you!! And I had always thought you had a Midlands accent, not quite so much of a Darth V. one. Seriously though, the new Nevermore kicks all sorts of bottom! I love it (apart from the bizarre sci-fi voice overs of course) :grin: Cheers mate, and good...

Hi all.. I'm off on Sunday to start the drum tracking for the new Nile album. The new drummer is George Kollias, from the Greek death metal band Sickening Horror. He is an absolute monster. I'm *really* looking forward to getting started on this. I'll post more updates in this thread as the...

First of all, a Happy Thanksgiving to everyone. I've been really busy of late, getting stuck into work after moving for the second time in 6 months. After fighting my way through walls of boxes and home remodelling, I'm now finally back on track with a vengeance. Recent projects have...

I'm currently in the middle of mixing the new SM album. It's going very well (apparently) and so far our only major challenge has been the number of tracks/resolution etc. We're working in Pro Tools HD, and finally hit the 64 track limit (at 96k/24bit). Scary!! Neil K.

We're about to embark on the tracking of the new Usurper album on Saturday August 7th. This one promises to be even more insane than the last one. I'm looking forward to the chaos!! Neil K.

Welcome!! Well, it's been a long time coming. My life has been really crazily busy for a while now, and I finally had the opportunity of gettting this forum up and running. As you may or may not know, I'm a record producer / recording engineer from London. I live and work in the US and...

I've been trying to find the old one, but am having no luck. Any ideas anyone? Neil K.

Here's an explanation of the current situation. I sadly regret that I have to announce that I am unable to produce the new Evergrey album. The reasons are as lollows: Back in mid-January when I returned from my Christmas vacation in Asia, I re-entered the US in San Francisco. In...
