David Dalton’s Driftwork Sound Studio is a brilliant reminder that great records do not require a massive commercial room. https://t.co/dKbMekME56

Huge thanks to @soundonsoundmag and Joe Matera for featuring me in their How I Got That Sound series, talking about the guitar sound on The Fray’s “Never Say Never.”
We recorded it at the legendary Record Plant in Sausalito, with @TheFray becoming the last band ever to record there before it closed in 2008.
The goal was for the guitar to stand alongside Isaac Slade’s vocal, not hide behind it. A true duet between voice and instrument.
’65 Fender Deluxe, Vox AC30, Telecaster Deluxe, real room ambience, and a lot of emotion.
Have a marvellous time recording and mixing.

Perfectionism has stopped more music being made than lack of talent ever has.

I’ve seen incredibly gifted artists sit on songs for months, sometimes years, because the vocal wasn’t “perfect”, the guitar sound wasn’t “there yet”, the lyric needed “one more pass”, or the mix wasn’t quite finished.

At some point, perfection stops being a standard and starts becoming fear wearing a very convincing disguise.

R.I.P. Sonny Rollins.
I first heard Sonny as a little kid in my Dad’s record collection. A Night at the Village Vanguard was fearless, alive and completely inspiring.
Years later, hearing him on The Rolling Stones’ “Waiting On A Friend” blew me away. My Dad was so impressed that the Stones used someone of Sonny’s calibre.
That solo is pure beauty.
A true giant. Thank you, Sonny.

Herb Trawick changed our industry.
Alongside Dave Pensado, he helped pioneer open access to high-level audio education. Before it was normal for top engineers to share their process publicly, Herb helped make it happen.
He wasn’t just a manager. He was a strategist, a connector, a believer in people.
Not always embraced by his peers, however true pioneers rarely are. He built platforms that shifted culture and gave engineers a voice.
As someone who has dedicated much of my life to education, I recognise what that takes. Resilience. Vision. Thick skin.
Herb, thank you for helping all of us believe knowledge should be shared.
Rest in peace.

Dax Liniere just opened up the full session for Leanne Castley’s “What I Missed”
Master bus glue, punchy drums, stacked country acoustics, subtle kick/bass sidechaining and a bright, upfront vocal chain.
Plus… what he’d do differently today.

• Harmonics & grit
• Extreme low-end compression
• Unity gain honesty

Happy Birthday to David Gilmour.
Like so many musicians of my generation, the music of Pink Floyd touched my life in a profound way and helped shape the way I hear and feel music. Every album felt like an event. From the haunting beauty of The Dark Side of the Moon to the emotional sweep of Wish You Were Here and the sheer ambition of The Wall, these records were more than songs, they were journeys.
David’s guitar playing has always been a masterclass in taste and emotion. A single note from him can say more than a hundred from someone else. The tone, the phrasing, the space between the notes, it all serves the music in a way that reminds us what great guitar playing is really about.
His solo work has carried that same spirit forward. Albums like On an Island and Rattle That Lock showed that unmistakable sense of atmosphere, melody, and emotional depth that defines his playing. And his latest record, Luck and Strange, feels like a true masterpiece, reflective, beautifully produced, and full of the kind of expressive guitar work that only he can deliver.
For many of us growing up, those records were part of the soundtrack of our lives. They inspired us to pick up instruments, experiment in the studio, and chase sounds that move people emotionally.
So thank you, David, for the music, the inspiration, and the countless moments where a single guitar note seemed to say exactly what words never could.
Happy Birthday, and here’s to many more years of beautiful music.

Happy Birthday to my friend Jared James Nichols!
I’ve had the pleasure of writing and recording with Jared over the years, and watching him grow into one of the most exciting blues-rock guitarists out there has been incredible.

If you start your mix this way, you’ll:
• Make better decisions
• Avoid over-processing
• Hear the song clearly

[Produce Like A Pro @ProduceLikeAPro]

If you don’t know where to start a mix…
this will change everything.
Most people reach for plugins first.
The best mixers don’t.
Here’s the real starting point https://t.co/f9EPHLO0Ji

Dense metal mixes sounding huge… however cloudy and fatiguing?
Try this:
• Pull down high-end on the SIDES
• Add dynamic presence back in the MID
Result: clearer, punchier, more focused.
It’s not about adding more…
it’s about moving energy.
