Q: Tell us about your studio setup.

A: Extensive work has been done to ensure an accurate listening environment. I have been working daily in my current room for 5 years and know how things should sound. My setup is hybrid by design and revolves around a Pro Tools system with Metric Halo 2882 for conversion. Monitoring is handled by a pair of Dunlavy SC-ll with a set of Focal subwoofers. Amplification is a Valve Audio Exclame which is a hybrid amp with valve input stage and power handling driven by a solid-state design. Processing is handled by a mix of choice of outboard from Chandler, Crane Song & Manley mixed up with some well-loved plugins from Softtube, Waves and Izotope.
