This time last week I was at 2000 Trees Festival on TM and monitor duties looking after my guys in Fangs Out. The guys crushed their set and it was great to see them pack out the Cave tent!

A little sticker restock as the first batch of ‘Temple of Tone’ and equipment rack stickers have all been snapped up! There’s a new QR code logo sticker in this run too (scan for a surprise 👀).

As always help yourself to stickers when you’re at the studio and if you’re not heading to the studio anytime soon DM me your address and I’ll drop some stickers in the post for you to slap on stuff!

15 years of Loud Noises Production……. here’s a look back at the evolution of Loud Noises and the 9 studios I’ve worked out of regularly in that time! (in 2011 I also built a studio that we never even loaded the gear into but that’s a story for another day).

• 2023 - present: Loud Noises Mk 4 - The Temple of Tone - My forever studio, expertly designed by Wise Owl Acoustics, the rooms sound incredible, it’s the most comfortable studio I’ve ever worked in, it’s full of amazing equipment and I still have to pinch my arm to remind myself it’s real.

• 2021 - 2023: M2 (Mad Hat) Mk2 - This one was a curve ball when the old studio was redeveloped a new one to be built super quickly this is where I developed a love for the Audient console workflow.

• 2015 - 2023: Loud Noises Mk 3 - Soundproofed garage conversion with a control room and booth. I filled this room from floor to ceiling with equipment and worked on so many great records in that sweat box!

• 2015 - 2021: M2 (Mad Hat) Studios Mk 1 - I started tracking at Mad Had in 2015 with the intention of being there for a few months but that turned into 7 years over the two M2 studios….. This one was in a farmhouse and such a great space, loads of local rock and roll history. The EQ on that quirky Amek was great on drums!

• 2015: Makeshift mix room - I don’t really have any pictures of this but there’s my trusty studio cat Giz! This room was just a space to mix in whilst I was building my first home studio.

• 2012 - 2015: Loud Noises Mk 2 based in JJM Studios - This is where I really started to step up my game investing in Pro Tools HD, amps, outboard etc…..

• 2011: Vigor Studios - Dav at Vigor helped me out massively when I was in between spaces. This studio was cosy and fun to work in (there were always lots of audio toys around to play with)

• 2011: Rapture Audio - James also helped me out with a space to track whilst I was in between studios (this is where my love of Framus Cobra amps began)

• 2009 - 2011: Loud Noises Mk 1 - My first studio DIY build in a barn. Pro Tools LE 7.4 and a Soundcraft Ghost I bought from my studio day 1.

This month marks 15 years of Loud Noises Production 🤯

I started recording bands when I was 16 (with a super DIY setup), I then landed a job in a studio and in May 2009 I finally plucked up the courage to move into my own studio and have never looked back.

Over that time I have worked in a ton of different spaces with amazing musicians, made so many friends far and wide and have worked on countless records.

I’ve seen the music scene go from html websites and flyers, to the explosion of MySpace, to the fall of CDs and rise of streaming services! So much has changed and I’m forever grateful that I get to work on music with so many amazing people and learn something new every day!

Here’s to another 15 years!

Over Easter the studio decking area has had a glow up ready for those summer recording sessions.

It’s the perfect spot to kick back with a coffee, matcha tea or beer and enjoy the surroundings after nailing a take.

I’m real fortunate to work with amazing emerging rock / metal / punk / alternative bands and artists daily! When we finish working on a record I want to see them succeed and get their music in front of the biggest audience possible. Years ago, I sent bands I’d worked with a spreadsheet that was full of useful contacts for radio play and magazine reviews to help them promote their music.

Things have really changed since I curated that list 10 years ago, so over the next few weeks I’ll be creating a new and updated resource to help support artists I work with in the ever-evolving world of music! I’ll be putting together a new spreadsheet that focuses on social media content, blogs, vlogs, podcasts and playing shows!

Check out what I had to say about DF-Clip 2 (it’s a staple in all my mixes)👇🏻

DF-CLIP 2 is a staple across kick and snare buses in all of Loud Noises Production’s heavy mixes!

“Drumforge plugins are a staple in all my productions!,” he shared. “DF-CLIP 2 is my go to clipper to bring kick and snare to the top of a mix. Being able to manipulate 3 different frequency bands separately is super useful for shaping them even further. If you’ve not tried it, go buy it and add some multi-band clipping to your tool box!” 🤘🔥

As with anyone studio based I’m terrible at keeping my website updated…. but I’ve been struck down with man flu for most of the week and unable to mix I took the opportunity to finally build a new site!!!

I deactivated this account a while ago as I wasn’t keeping it up to date but the Loud Noises Production page is back and there’s a lot to update everyone on!

A year ago, I finally moved into my new Wise Owl Acoustics designed studio and since then I’ve been super busy working on so many amazing records. This studio has been a game-changer! Not only is it the best-sounding studio I've ever worked in, but it's also the most comfortable. It’s a dream being able to work in a space like this every day!

Over the past 10 months I’ve been building a new private studio (designed by Wise Owl Acoustics) and I'd planned on releasing monthly vlogs documenting my progress but I just haven't had time to go through all the footage yet.....

So here's a little sneak peak of where I'm at with everything, we'll call it a pre vlog update 😉
