I am a former Abbey Road engineer with 30 years’ experience and over 40 UK chart credits.
A specialist in live band recording and mixing, I also have a wealth of experience recording orchestras and feature-film soundtracks. I have worked with some of the biggest names in the business, most notably Radiohead, Muse and The Beatles Anthologies with Sir George Martin.
I started my career as assistant engineer at Utopia Studios, London in 1987, and later moved to the world-famous Abbey Road Studios, where I remained for 10 years, progressing to Senior Engineer.
I left Abbey Road in 1997 to work freelance as a producer and engineer, and also as a composer of music for television and advertising. I recently launched a production company providing original music for advertising and media.

check_circleVerifiedChris taught me to be my own production manager. Self producing work that includes professionally tracked strings, horns, acoustic drums, and vocal arrangements is challenging to make the decisions necessary to deliver excellent multitracks for him to mix. I owe his a debt of gratitude for his clarity in our communication. It's how top professionals operate. Chris is without a doubt a top professional in our industry.
check_circleVerifiedMy mixes sound even better over time. That's confirmation that Chris got it right. There is restraint in Chris's mixing sensibilities. Specifically, Chris understands the best use of saturation. He knows what tape saturation does to music, what preamp do, and yes, what Decapitator and others can do. So the music is alive and breathing every day forever.
check_circleVerifiedChris masterfully let the music be the feature, not the mixing techniques. We collaborated as Artist and Engineer inside SoundBetter smoothly. Chris was on point throughout. Always giving realistic expectations of turn around and providing relevant files with the highest standard in the music industry.
check_circleVerifiedChris made me grow as a self produced artist. His protocol for file preparation is impeccable. Well, being a senior engineer at Abbey Road for ten years is standards of impeccability. So my mixes took a massive step forward. I now understand how to be accountable for every detail to set up the best mix, the best music.
check_circleVerifiedOn Soundbetter, everyone has five stars, so it's hard to understand where and how intense the true professionalism lies. Everyone is enthusiastic about everyone else, and it's hard to tell who is who. I know Chris Brown for what he's done for me, and I can only say that I had the pleasure of working with an extremely experienced, talented, and experienced sound engineer. A real sound engineer and the greatest artist in mixing process I ever met.
check_circleVerifiedabsolute legend. brought my tracks to a different level
check_circleVerifiedBeautiful. Thank you so much.
check_circleVerifiedChris is a great engineer, and a consummate professional. I can say personally that it's a privilege to have worked with him.
check_circleVerifiedThanks a lot, highly appreciated your sound.
check_circleVerifiedExtremely kind and professional. Made our songs sound exactly how we wanted in a timely fashion.
check_circleVerifiedChris gave me a perfect mix on a song that means a lot to me. I didn't need any revisions. I've never had that before! He did everything I asked for, and needed with the song. Thank you again!
check_circleVerifiedChris was very responsive, and really brought out the detail of my tracks. Met and exceeded expectations!
check_circleVerifiedChris did such a great job. I was particularly impressed by how responsive he was to my insanely detailed notes. The finished product made me smile.
check_circleVerifiedFor years, Chris has been "in the room" with professionals who honor the artist and his work is listened to and assessed by millions of listeners. Choosing to trust Chris with my full-length project is a decision he has rewarded me for every day we work together.
check_circleVerifiedFirst time working with Chris I was impressed with his interpretation of the reference mix and how to improve it. Clearly a great all round knowledge of music. I look forward to working with Chris again.
check_circleVerifiedCB is a master of his craft, and his ratings/reviews are deserved. I handed him a folder of tracks from various collaborators, and without direction, he returned a mix that well exceeded my expectations.
check_circleVerifiedWorking with Chris is always easy and always a pleasure. The track always comes out better than expected. Highly recommend.
check_circleVerifiedA pleasure working with Chris and the mixes sound great.
check_circleVerifiedThank you for everything Chris, working with you has been a wonderful experience. My songs now sound as they should, thanks again. You were kind, thoughtful and detailed in your work. I am happy I trusted you with this EP.
check_circleVerifiedA surprise to find Mr Chris Brown on SoundBetter! He's really responsible to the mix requests, patient and never complaint or got tired of modifying feedback! Reasonable agreement and well-communication, hope to work with him again in the future!
