Sound Engineer
Sound Engineer
Tony's engineering chops are considerable, from audiophile pristine reproduction to gritty, huge rock sounds. His amalgamation of rich analogue signal path, vintage mics and analogue tape with the latest in digital tools means rich, deep, smooth sound that never interferes with the creative process.

Tony is equally at home mixing on large format analogue consoles, in-the-box, or in his own hybrid home setup. His blend of traditional analogue signal path and modern digital workflow ensures the best tools are married with the right job.

ABOUT ME
I’ve always had a knack for music. When I was three, I would sit at the piano and plink away at it instead of getting ready for school. At five I began piano lessons and at eleven I was gigging with my own jazz trio (as well as arguing with my brother about who got to play air-bass on ‘Another One Bites The Dust’).
In my early teens I spent a number of days in recording studios for various projects. I was mesmerised by them. Why does the engineer need all these buttons? Why are they seemingly speaking in codes of numbers and letters and ratios? Why is this door a foot thick?
At fifteen I decided to find out for myself and began recording my own songs. Then I started recording other people’s songs. I went to school for it, convinced a local venue owner to let me do the sound and record gigs, then went to university to study it. I assisted at local recording studios for free between lectures and gained work experience with industry heavyweights like Alan Moulder and Mike Crossey. Then I graduated, and people started paying me to record their songs.
Not a lot has changed since. I’m still that same kid that’s passionate about music, songs and sonics. I live for the studio, for amazing sound, for unstoppable grooves, for emotion that pours out of the speakers. I’m here to make records.
