If you’re a student or young person (21 and under) and want some discounted studio time, book a session before 31st December 2022 and get two days in the studio for £500. Sweet deal.

(The recording date can be next year, you just have to book the session before Dec 31st 😉)

This has to be one of my favourite and go-to mics. The C414 EB (silver). Complete with CK-12 brass capsule this thing delivers and was one of the first mics I managed to get my hands on when I started the studio.

Hand built by .Kedwards this preamp is lush, has tons of headroom and overdrives really nicely. With NOS and custom transformers throughout and a hand built opamp based on the 990, this thing is a beaut.

Posted • Have you ever been asked to work for free or discount your rate in return for the a project or performance will give you in return?

These are called .

Sadly, you can’t buy food or pay rent or electric with them.

If you’re an artist, musician or other creative, sooner or later, it WILL happen.

Here are three questions you can ask your (potential) client if you’re offered so you don’t feel tongue-tied in the moment and end up agreeing to something you’ll wish you hadn’t.

Of course, there ARE times you’ll agree to reduce your rate - for your best and most loyal clients, for a cause you believe in or because you’re developing your skills.

But that’s very different from a client offering to pay you with that don’t provide exposure OR the means to pay your bills.

Gently ask the 3 questions and your (potential) client will realise what they’re asking for is unreasonable - allowing you to re-frame the conversation and negotiate for your full fee.

Have you worked for before? How did it go?

On the bench today - my trusty ASP008. Only half the signal on channel 5. Seems to be some dry solder joints but may need a recap at some point! For now though, all is good in audio land.

This is my #lockdownchallenge - to nail this beautiful song by @thebroslandreth (thanks for pointing me in the right direction with the tuning!) maybe @joeylandreth can show me how it’s done. Progress is being made - and yes I’m still in the bathroom #quarantine #togetherathome

FINALLY figured out this B-E-A-UTIFUL @thebroslandreth tune. Took me awhile to realise it’s in DADGAD 🤦🏼‍♂️ (and yes I’m in the bathroom) #lockdownpractice #athometogether #guitarpractice #guitarplayer @tombutlersings you got me into this! Thanks bro, big love.

Our Story

Masterlink Productions is the home of producer James Welch, our clients include: Jamie Lawson, Bill Laurance, Will Todd, Tiny Leaves, Stefan Redtenbacher, Sour Kix, Helen Jayne McKellar, Tom Butler, Claudia Stark, Mr Little’s Noisy Band, Sam Tanner, Thom Worth and many more.

The studio is centered around ‘The Big Five’ classic keyboards, these include: a 1975 Hammond Organ A100 (same as a B3) with a Leslie 142, Wurlitzer EP200, Rhodes Suitcase Mk1 from 1976, a Hohner D6 Clavinet, and a beautiful Kawai BL-71 upright piano from 1973.

The belief behind classic vintage gear is that it creates something special for the player, something that can’t be recreated with a virtual instrument, something tangible that is immediately noticable to the listener. Some current artists haven’t had the chance the play these beautifully made classic instruments, ours are in pristine condition, ready to go on your next record. www.masterlinkproductions.co.uk
