2 months of solid work running through the studio in almost every musical genre, Bhangra, Reggae, Rock Dubstep, Drum and Bass, House, Choral and Classical. Big thank you to all my regular clients. I have a the new Joe Meek compressor in the rack. For a long time I have been searching for a great optical compressor and now I have one. Optical compression can be charcteristically slow and smooth and a little unpredictable. In my opinion you need predictable in a compressor for mastering, either that or a great tone from the electronics itself. The Joe Meek when set in the right mode has both. I sent it to ted Fletcher it;s designer and he gave it a once over making sure it is perfectly lined up. Getting hold of the unit (which took a long time in itself) spurred my interest in the producer Joe Meek from the 1960's, if you get a moment check out some of the Youtube videos, a real audio engineering maverick who did what he wanted not what others wanted him to do, and in doing so broke some creative boundaries of the era.

All the best with the music.
