PRODUCTIONS

I’ve put this studio together to satisfy my needs as a musician. Pitch correction, Cut & Paste or Quantising do NOT have any place in my studio! I love big natural sounds performed by real talent on live instruments!

       No Computers!! 

THE GATCAT STUDIO

HOW I RECORD GUITARS & BASS

First, I choose a guitar depending on what tone I am after.

(Not even half of my guitar collection)

Then I select the pedals/pre-amp based on the tone I am after

I can then use one of two methods of manipulating the tone

90% of the time I'll double/triple track the guitars to get a full tone. If I need stereo effects I use a Zoom 5050 through the IR200's stereo effects loop

HOW I RECORD VOCALS

Vocals sent into valve mic pre-amp compressor then EQ'd

Everything else is sequenced on my Kronos

Everything recorded to 32+ track Tascam
