Alan Gregson on SoundBetter

Hi, I'm a musician, composer, arranger, sound engineer and producer with decades of experience producing music of every conceivable genre. I have two Gold Discs, one for a UK number one single - Brimful of Asha by Cornershop. I have also arranged music for the some of the UK's top orchestras and produced music for film, radio and TV.

Hello! I'm an English composer, producer, arranger, engineer and musician based in South-west France, having recently moved here after running a successful professional recording studio in the UK.
I have a pro studio set-up including Pro Tools and Logic (with a good selection of plug-ins and virtual instruments) as well as a large collection of microphones, instruments and analogue gear. I have been working in music for over 25 years in a variety of styles and genres. I am used to working to deadlines and to producing exactly what the brief requires whilst always aiming to be creative.
I have produced a great many albums over the years, in every conceivable style from R'n'B, through punk to classical. I have two Gold Discs, one for a UK number one single - Brimful of Asha by Cornershop.
I'm also an arranger and have worked with some of the UK's top musicians ranging from recording big bands in AIR studios, London, to orchestras such as the Hallé and City of Birmingham Symphony playing my pieces in concert.
I've written music for film, TV, Radio and online media.
In the studio I've worked with hundreds of solo artists and bands, helping them to get the best out of themselves in order to create recordings that they're happy with.
I have ten years remote session experience and have many contacts for session musicians who I use to remotely record strings, horns, drums etc.

    Alan really threw everything into my tune, playing guitar and using many orchestral samples, which was a lot of work for the fee, and i received a classical-pop classic which i hope will inspire listeners. And he gave me the essential lift in the chorus i wanted. Thanks Alan for helping me out again with your excellent freelance musical expertise.

    Working with Alan again was such a pleasure. Alan was able to come up with a first class string quartet arrangement in a very short interval and was even able to source a very accomplished live string player to do the parts for me for a very fair price. I would definitely work with Alan again. Five Stars!

    My first time working with Alan and he was an absolute pleasure to work with. I need someone who could mix live strings and he nailed it. And a really pleasant and personable person to deal with. Thanks again Alan! Hope to work with you again.

    One of the best musicians around. Alan helped me with a piece of arrangement which was extremely difficult and he nailed it within a week with little changes.

    Alan did a full orchestration on one song for me and his arrangement was so beautiful and intuitive. He knew just what the tune needed and was gracious with any little tweaks we had to make along the way. I really appreciated how quickly Alan was able to provide the original tracks and any subsequent revised versions of the arrangement. He is very patient and a real pleasure to work with. Great experience. Would definitely hire Alan again!

    I found Alan was very professional and very easy to work with. He was super quick to reply to messages and delivered a really lovely professional piece of music in double quick time. Alan has real musicality which is so important and he got the gist of my idea quickly and then added nice bits and appropriate emotion to my basic idea. He understands production, how to build a track and add variation in the arrangement and so on. Also his virtual strings sound really good, smooth and realistic. A+

    It was a total pleasure working with Alan. Not only is he super-talented - he brought a ballad of mine to life with the most delicious, sensitive, moving string arrangement - but he is also great fun to collaborate with, a won derail human being.

    Highly recommended! Thanks Alan and look fwd to the next time...

    Alan Gregson is quite simply amazing, if there is an aspect of music creation, arrangement or production that he hasn't completely mastered I'm unaware of it. His attention to detail and professionalism is second to none and his musicality unquestionable.
    I've been working with Alan for 25 years and would have no hesitation in recommending him for any project, in any genre. Alan is that rare thing: a highly skilled technician and a complete musician.
