I have been writing, performing, recording, mixing and mastering in some form or another for the last six years. Starting out as a vocalist in local bands I learned the basics of wrirting songs in a standard format, which lead onto learning piano and drums thus giving me a well rounded knowledge of composition, melody and rhythm. I have composed songs in a variety of styles from rock and metal to ambient soundscapes and vaudevillian. I use a mixture of digital instruments and synthesizers in conjuction with live recorded instruments.
In college I was taught an arrary of recording, mixing and mastering techniques using analogue and digital equipment. My main mixing and mastering equipment is Pro-Tools which to date has gathered a rather large amount of plug-ins to augement it for my needs.
