Mastering Southern Hayze with Dominic Shiner

RECORDING LOG:

Artist: Southern Hayze
Producer: Various
Engineer: Nick Breton, Dominic Shiner

RECAP:

 

This month has been very busy for Dominic and I but we finally had a full day in the studio to play around with the new gear and master an album for our client Southern Hayze. I was very excited for today as Dominic has been a long time mentor of mine but we’ve only actually worked at the studio together a handful of days. He showed me the special characteristics of each new piece of gear we bought (Bax EQ, Vari-Mu, Burl B2) and we made our way through the album. The Burl B2 is a special piece of gear.. Just simply passing signal through it gives this beautiful musical character to anything you give it.
