A massive, massive year for the studio this year. Not only from a work point of view but also from a transformation one.🤓
The refit I’d been planning for years FINALLY got done, and once it was complete it was time to install some new toys. And this is where the fun really began.😃
The sub taught me that having a box solely dedicated to low frequencies is something that I should have done years ago. I always thought of a sub a luxury item. It isn’t, it’s an absolutely game changing necessity. My low end has never sounded so tight.🤯
The Angry boxes found a place on the desk and became an excellent pair of reference speakers. Brutally honest and exactly what was needed.🆎😎
My consoles got an upgrade from the MKII’s to the new MKIII’s and Softube absolutely knocked it out of the park with this system. What was already good is now truly incredible and it’s still getting better with new features being rolled out.🔥
A couple of new amp additions in the form of the HT5 MKIII which is a perfect little studio amp packed with features, and a PRS MT15 which I’ve wanted for SO long!! A lovely birthday treat from my even more lovely wife who absolutely spoiled me with that Tremonti amp.❤️
The true hero of the year however goes to ARC Studio from that highlighted how my studio should really be sounding and fixed the issues that my refit didn’t. This is the best my studio has ever sounded.🙏🏻
I worked with some great artists, I produced and mixed some great songs, I even recorded some voiceovers and audiobooks for a bunch of really great companies.🤓
All in all, 2024 was awesome. A fantastic year. And if I had to sum everything up in one word it would quite simply be “grateful”. And with what’s already in the pipeline 2025 is looking pretty awesome too. Let’s go!💪🏼
Happy new year everyone - All the best for 2025.🎇
