The anxiety levels when you deliver an EP to a client that you've mixed and you're waiting for a reply. Yeah, that. (Even if you're confident in the mixes it still brings the unease)

#Recording | #Mixing | #Mastering HPR is a music studio offering recording, mixing, and mastering services. And rehearsal rooms. Get in touch to discuss your music. Bon plays in Flange Circus and on his own as Hol Weg. Likes weird sounds/music.
This is devasting news for all those that work there (and the music production community who've got so much invested in their products)
Peter Kirn@pkirn.bsky.social · 7mo agoUnfortunately, this is confirmed news. Not remotely what you want to see. Wishing everyone at NI the best in a tough time, and hoping that in the restructuring process, the tools find a good home. Details:
Yes, ALL the companies, I'd love to join you at NAMM. Fancy paying for my air fare, visas, accommodation, various sundries?
Studio owners. It a client approaches you for a recording session and your gut says ‘seems a bit of a wrong ‘un’ trust your instincts.
Some recent releases that I’ve had the pleasure to work on in various ways. Give them a listen and support grassroots music.
Shout out to all the UK engineers and producers who’ll be topping up their studio tan by spending the weekend in a windowless control room and missing out on the lovely weather. Like me.
Hi all. Thanks for the support for my album. This is a polite reminder to let people aware that there’s just 8 of these limited edition cassettes left over at cavendishhouse.bandcamp.com Happy a lovely day x
It’s nice to get nice reviews. Get in touch if I can serve your sonic needs.
Conjuring new tunes for Album number 4 last wekeend at @highpeakrecordings.bsky.social
Two wonderful alt-folk and trad folk releases that I’ve mastered here recently. First up is ‘The Frog, The Mouse, The Ship, The Cabin Boy’ by @bitybooker.bsky.social which is something else. And second is the superb compilation ‘Sing Yonder 2’ curated by @karlsinfield.bsky.social. Big recommends.
I seem to have become a top-down mixer and I’ve no idea how or when it happened. Seems to be working though (I hope).
Tonight I was in a pub with a bunch of artists (of a variety of disciplines) and just felt so uncool and mostly out of my depth. I’m not alone, right? Always the bridesmaid syndrome. Z
I have been at @highpeakrecordings.bsky.social today doing vocals for what will hopefully be a forthcoming HawaiiWorms release, but I forgot to take any photos whatsoever so you'll just have to imagine it. It was so much fun though.
Love it when a client drops off a CD of the music we recorded together.
Excited to unleash this upon the world!

First time I’ve ever had a beer in the control room. Cheers! (Apologies for the Scumdog beer - all I could get)
The Long Way Home is now available in one our our fave Manchester record shops - @piccadillyrecs.bsky.social!
Who would have foreseen that by effectively stealing music from artists by stopping paying out on songs that have less than 1000 streams in the past 12 months would result in a first ever annual profit for Spotify? In related news: PLEASE USE BANDCAMP
I seem to be working on a lot of pop recently and I have to say I’m loving it!
That’ll be @samleoh.bsky.social mastering the Prophet 6 yesterday whilst we work on her next releases.
Some new gear pron for you on a Friday. Vanguard Audio Labs V13 (Gen 2).
Tickets booked for this. Shall I wear my badge @stoneclub.bsky.social? www.visitderby.co.uk/events/well-...

Studio owners Do you take a deposit for recording sessions? Getting fed up with people booking then cancelling. Thinking I need some financial cover.
