Cormac Caines on SoundBetter

Cormac is a London based Recording and Mix Engineer, Producer, Guitarist and Bassist, working out of Canopy Studios in East London alongside Mercury Prize nominated producer Andy Savours. Cormac has access to a world class selection of instruments and recording equipment to take your next musical project to the next level.

About myself - I'm a Producer, Engineer and session musician (primarily on Guitar and Bass) from London and lucky enough to work in one of London newest, purpose built recording studios - Canopy. A state of the art facility, filled with high end equipment and in house production, recording, and mixing expertise to match. Having played in bands for years, I transitioned into the recording world under the tutelage of Andy Savours (Mercury Prize nominated producer known for his work with My Bloody Valentine and Black Country New Road) who in tern trained under world renowned producer/engineers, Alan Moulder and Flood. Under this mentorship you could say that I have inherited the DNA of making gritty, atmospheric and visceral sounding records that have a three dimensional quality to them. I really enjoy the textures you are able to achieve when pushing certain elements to the limit, but I am of course able to use a softer touch when called for. I am particularly fond of working in Alt Rock, Indie, Shoegaze, and Psychedelic genres but have also have a soft spot for classic Rock n Roll, Folk and Blues - music that I grew up on. I think blending classic and modern influences is how I am able to create music that sounds relevant in the current landscape whilst taking inspiration from the best the came before.

I'd love to hear about your project. Click the 'Contact' button above to get in touch.

    Mr Caines’ attention to detail and work ethic is second to none, having worked with him over the course of a few months on my groups EP, I can say not only am I thoroughly pleased with the result, but the process itself was a wonderful experience. Mr Caines knowledge of everything technical to magical spans the full musical experience, and I would recommend him to anyone, be it indie or platinum artists. You will not regret it.
