New Horizons…

Hello to everyone out there!

It’s been an AWFULLY long time since Ive updated the blog and the reason was fairly simple: The site got “hacked” and I haven’t had time to figure out how to fix it!

So, a new year, a new look and lots of other bits on the horizon…

I’ll be finishing up with Avid Digidesign in January. I’ve been with the company for nearly 7 years and it’s been a great ride but I’ve desperately felt the need to get back to “the craft” and do some mixing! That said, the local management have extended the offer for me to stay involved with training and clinics and seminars, so Aus/NZ engineers, hopefully you’ll still see a bit of me flying the Avid Audio flag!

What’s this about mixing? Yes, I’ve been working hard on the weekends building false walls and getting desks built and will soon have an ICON mix room to call my own on the Fox Studios lot in Sydney. This wouldnt be possible with the support of my business partners, Trackdown Scoring Stage. The studio is called “Sumsound at Trackdown” – more on that in the future, I’ve been taking photos of the build process and I’m keen to post a bit about the acoustics design and analysis. David Spargo of Praxis Acoustics has been the guiding light behind the room’s sound.

One other change for me: as most of you can tell, I love to pass on a bit of knowledge and the local Pro School at the University of Technology, Sydney (UTS Pro School) have engaged me to present the Digi curriculum throughout the year. I’m looking forwards to working with the students there in between mixing and production work.

So thats all the new stuff from me (apart from my engagement 6 months ago and buying my first house 2 months ago)!

More regular services are to continue throughout the year, so stay tuned, Happy New Year and hope you had a great holiday season!
