Freelance recording and mixing engineer based at Mix London in West London.

Making Music Easy

Whether you’re an artist or a producer, the recording and production process can be demanding and sometimes stressful. Trusting an experienced and confident engineer to take off some of the pressure allows you to concentrate on the music.

Services

Recording

I love pointing microphones and turning knobs for producers such as Tim Bran & Roy Kerr, David Kosten, Hugh Padgham, Chris Sheldon, Jay Reynolds, Chris Kimsey, Dan Lancaster, Chris Potter, Mike Hedges across a diverse range of projects including Noel Gallagher, Frank Turner, KT Tunstall, Imelda May, Lower Than Atlantis, Wendy James, Bôa, Sugababes, Richard Ashcroft & Natalie Imbruglia. I can come to you, you can come to me or we can go to any studio, large or small. Pro Tools, Logic, Ableton, analogue tape - whatever you want!

Studio

Mixing

Stereo & Atmos

I am one of the UK’s most experienced Dolby Atmos mixers, working out of Jay Reynolds’ Mix London studios. I did the Atmos mixes for Fred Again..’s Grammy-winning album “Actual Life 3” and Grammy-nominated album “Ten days” and single “Leavemealone”, LF System’s UK#1 single “Afraid To Feel” alongside albums and singles for Dua Lipa, Skye Newman, Rudimental, Moliy, Tyla, Kylie, Swedish House Mafia, Luude, Venbee, Pa Salieu, Badger, The Blessed Madonna, Tiësto, Nines, and Freya Ridings.

Production

I’ve worked on several records with self-producing artists who didn’t think they could afford a producer and in each case time and money were wasted because things weren’t scheduled effectively. I love to shape the sound of a record and guide performances but if you’re confident with that, just booking the right studio and organising sessions efficiently will ensure a great result and will usually pay for itself many times over.

I have a comfortably sized studio in the Mix London complex in West London with Trinnov corrected stereo monitoring for unequalled accuracy and a full Dolby-approved and calibrated Genelec 7.1.4 Atmos system. I have a broad collection of guitars, amps, tape echoes, outboard gear, drums & cymbals and LOTS of guitar pedals that are available for all my sessions - let me know what you might need or like to have at hand. I'm also happy to work elsewhere, in London particularly: RAK, Kore Studios, Le Mob, Abbey Road, Konk, Metropolis, Strongroom, Snap!, Hackney Road Studios, Dean Street and any of the Miloco rooms.

Work

“What can I say about Al? Well, if it’s 50% personality and 50% skill as they say, he’s got it all going on. Everyone likes him. He’s always courteous, cheerful and keen to do whatever it takes. But also head down serious worker at the same time. He’s always one step ahead. How many times have I asked for some mics to be set up and they already have been! And as for skill, his attention to detail is brilliant. We always get what we want and more. I’ve never seen him eat!

-- Tim Bran, Producer

“Had the best time with you, super overjoyed by the results so far. Excited for next steps when I’m back!”

-- Luis Felber, Attawalpa

“It’s a very good mix Al, we are blown away by your vision. I have nothing to say with the choices. I enjoy listening to it in a new way, like a listener. And it all makes sense and it’s an anthem. Thank you very much for doing that man, I had lost faith in the song and I’m loving it again!”

-- Marco Cinelli, The Cinelli Brothers

Your Questions, Answered

Can we…?

Yes!

Do you…?

If you want!

This is a little joke really, often people ask me how I do things or if something’s possible and I’m always much more interested in how we can do something than saying no or making us do it “my way”.
