Welcome To The Blog
It’s common for people working in the music and audio industry to wear several hats, so to speak. I would definitely include myself in that, as I’ve not only worked extensively as a studio engineer and producer, but have also written over 100 features over the years as a music tech journalist for publications such as Computer Music, MusicTech, Future Music and the MusicRadar website.
As well as writing cover features and tutorials on topics as diverse as recording, studio design, mixing, mastering and synthesis, I’ve also been lucky enough to review equipment, plugins and soundware, along with interviewing artists such as Beardyman, Klute and Plaid.
Whilst the music technology publishing landscape has changed considerably over the years, I’ve felt for a long time that I still have plenty to offer when it comes to my passion for music tech and the written word. Therefore, after some prompting from a number of colleagues and friends in the industry (shout out to Joe Minosaur!), I’ve decided to launch a blog as part of my recent website redesign.
Over the coming months, I’ll be posting regular pieces related to my work in the studio. Whether it’s insights into current trends, production techniques and tips or guides answering commonly asked questions from clients, I’m very much looking forward to putting some words down on virtual paper to share with everybody.
One thing I’d like to ask: what would you like to see as part of this blog? Feel free to send me a message and let me know. After all, I want this blog to be something that’s useful and interesting to as many people as possible.
Thanks,
Leon
