RECORDING & PRODUCTION SERVICES
Recording & Production
With 38 years in bands, playing live and recording, Paul knows good sound when he hears it. He writes, records and produces his own material from his digital studio and uses Logic Pro & Universal Audio’s LUNAR recording system.
If you have a song in basic format that requires writing, arranging and producing or a fully developed and recorded track that needs producing and mastering for release, contact Paul to discuss your project via the Contact Page
Taking a basic song or idea to a fully produced track takes experience and know how. After starting to self-record at home in 2017, Paul has been honing his talents as a writer, recording artist, arranger and producer. To bring his own songs to fruition, Paul has written, recorded, arranged and produced the majority of his own material. When required, Paul draws on the experience and talents of contacts in the music industry from drummers and percussionists to brass players, and other musicians he’s met along the way. But most of the songs Paul releases feature him on acoustic and electric guitars, bass guitar, keyboards, vocals and backing vocals.
If you want to create a track from a simple idea using all the tools at Paul’s disposal in his Surrey-based digital studio, or create something extra special by drawing on the skills of Paul’s network of collaborators, contact Paul to discuss your project. In his studio Paul uses:
Universal Audio LUNA Recording System
Universal Audio apollo I twin MKII Thunderbolt Interface
Rode NT-1 condenser mic and Shure SM58 mics
Beyerdynamic DT100 closed back recording headphones
Adam F7 audio monitors
In his Surrey studio, you can bring and record your own instruments (excluding drums*), and vocals, or send .wav files for mixing and production.
If you would like to add real drums and other instruments, Paul can arrange this via his network of musicians including Ben Gordelier (Ben plays with The Moons and Paul Weller), Jacko Peake (Groove Nation, Push and Paul Weller), Steve ‘Smiley’ Barnard (The Mock Turtles, The Alarm and Robbie Williams)…and more!
*Drums are created in midi unless a real drummer is required, plus brass, keys and other instruments and effects are available via midi.
