Drifting Classroom Album Mastering for CD, Vinyl and Download

http://www.skinnydogrecords.com/hello-world/


Meticulous time getting this job right results in a journey of melody and song that tells a good story and describes moods in a lyrical and engaging way.

Thanks to Dave Sefton at Skinny Dog Records for bringing this project to us.

All aspects of Mastering and Compile of the album were performed at our Manchester Recording Studios. ProTools, Fairchild Mastering Equalizers, AML EZ1072 and Apogee AD16X were used to finalise the results.

Happy Mondays - Panama sessions for GoggleBox Entertainment




Happy Mondays & Embera: Ooo La La To Panama


Inch mixed and Mastered this Happy Mondays song which was written by the band to be included in the TV show commissioned by GoggleBox entertainment called "Singing in the Forest".

The show features the full band living and working with a native tribe in Panama, many of whom had never encountered cameras, microphones or technology of any kind before.

The song has since been released with all profits going to the people of the Embera Village.

Dan Broad brought the project in who has been involved with the Happy Mondays as band member and studio hand for over 10 years.

An absolute pleasure to be involved with Manchester legendary 
talent.

All post production, mixing and mastering took place at our Manchester based Recording Studio.
