Recording Studio

Welcome to the pro tools home studio located in the southern suburb of Beeliar, Perth Western Australia. This is the well spring of my creativity and where I spend most of my time. As an offshoot of my own productions and in collaboration with a sister studio operated by Dean Wuksta I occasionally produce the work of other artists, however this is a part time affair and often within the constraints of a domestic environment so it is more suited to those prepared to work within a flexible time frame and who are preferably in no great hurry. Accordingly rates are very fair.

The Tomb, Sister Studio owned by Dean Wuksta. For tracking drums or live bands this room is ideal. As a drummer Dean is meticulous about his drum sounds, we get great results here.

Artists I have worked with;

Andrew Ellis from Ellis Guitars http://www.ellisguitars.com/

Cristos Karpathakis http://www.myspace.com/christoskarpathakis

Kev Lymn http://www.myspace.com/kevlymn

Trigger Legends http://www.myspace.com/triggerlegends

All of us in the band have learned so much about how the recording process works and what is needed to get the results we are seeking. The end result is exactly what we originally hoped for..

Craig Sinclair

From a recent session with Craig Sinclair in the studio, an awesome player and thought provoking songwriter. This room is ideal for singer/songwriters, intimate sessions and multi-tracking to get things just purfect!

Thanks for the mixes, have passed them around a bit and every one is impressed.  Lined up against the other recordings I’ve done I can’t find anything with a better sound, which is amazing considering how easy it all was.  Some stuff that I’ve done previously has a different character to it, but in terms of fidelity and clarity this one has been the best.

Virtual Sessions!

Yes you can even send me your track over the net, I’ll play and record the guitar part in my studio and send it back to you as a high quality 24 bit wav file ready for you to import back into your own software (DAW).

Collaborations

Yeh! Why not, if you think our styles are compatible and your real keen to push the boundaries of sonic exploration send me an mp3 demo, I may be interested in working with you.

Do you need a drummer?

There are many drummers out there, but an experienced studio drummer can be hard to find. Dean Wuksta is my drummer of choice for all my recordings.
