What’s the studio set up you have there equipment-wise? We call Enmore Audio a hybrid space in that there’s a heap of analog gear and a heap of digital gear. We also use tape machines so we’re well and truly into the old school sound but use Pro Tools for mixing.
Any tips for artists entering a studio for the first time? There’s a bunch of cliches out there that every studio owner / engineer / producer say about this topic. One is pre-production / pre-production / pre-production. I embrace a more mistakist approach and encourage spontaneity on the day. If a song is great it’s going to shine and we’ll find a way to make it’s mark in the world. Will I change my mind about that in 10 years? I hope not. Continue reading “Drum Media Editorial” »

King Richard’s Disco Re-rub
Posted: April 4, 2011 | Author: radisafi | Filed under: Recordings | Leave a comment »Just finished mixing Circle’s latest cover offering of the Pet Shop Boy’s What have I Done to Deserve This and they’re sounding pretty good. They I say… Well the original was pretty lush and slow and I referenced a bit of Camera Obscura on the final day of mixing. Some extra reverb on the drums was nice but the snare lost its snap. I always master to tape and play around with some vari speed options and this sucker was just screaming to go faster so I pushed it as far as it would go. The result? Well we have the original and the King Richard’s Disco re-rub. King Richard because we sampled Richard doing this crazy Michael Jackson thing at the beginning. It’s a bit gay lord a bit 90′s dance but ultimately you decide. (when they eventually get released).
