A Cat Sock Studio project

Thirty years of music and eleven behind the board, out of one room built for it. Start with what it sounds like.

Selected work

A/B

Same take. Before and after.

Mixing is hard to describe and easy to hear. These are unmixed and mixed passes of the same material, switched back and forth. Headphones or decent speakers, if you have them.

What happens here

Music for every medium.

Some projects begin with a blank session. Others begin with a captured performance, recorded dialogue, or a box of old tapes.

Songwriting & Recording

Guitar and songwriting since the mid-90s, recording since the late 90s. Songs built from the ground up and tracked start to finish.

Hybrid Mixing in Studio One

Balance, EQ, dynamics and signal flow. Writing, tracking, editing and mixing all happen right here, with hardware on every mix bus.

Live Sound & Multitrack Recording

Church FOH mixing since 2015, with multitrack capture of live performances for editing and mixing back in the studio.

Podcast Production

Voice-acted, sound-staged podcast shorts, start to finish. Casting, recording, soundscape and a broadcast-ready mix.

Tape-to-Digital Transfers

Old cassettes and VHS tapes digitized and cleaned up, so what is on them outlives the format they are trapped on.

The room

One room, built out over a decade.

I have been writing songs and playing guitar since the mid-90s, and recording since the late 90s. Under Cat Sock Studio that experience goes into songwriting, recording and sound production, tracked, edited and mixed right here.

The Sound Shed brings those threads together: a practical home studio for songwriting, tracking, editing, mixing, sound design, live-recording production and audio restoration.
