Public Spaces weekly article

Hi guys, thanks for visiting my humble little blog site

Just to let you all know, this week I was invited to write a weekly Audio article for Public Spaces Netlabel (@publicspaceslab / http://lab.pubspaces.com) . I’m pretty excited about this, as I do seem to be heading down the writing road as well as hands on doing the stuff (I’ll never stop that ). Seems like a great opportunity to hand out some info that may help readers polish their sound skills, and become more effective in today’s competitive and ever changing music industry.

Now I just have to work out some stuff to waffle about

Check out their website, and keep watching for upcoming posts.

Hi. thanks for stopping by. My names Tony a.k.a Pure-Tone.

Mastering engineers can be renowned for being unapproachable, sometimes arrogant and slightly secretive. This can be due to a few things…spending too much time with computers, disappearing farther into audio than is healthy for a person, and possibly a feeling of elitism. Well you can forget all of that with me!. I may spend the day with working with computers, but I have no intention of becoming one. If you want to chat about audio/ask questions etc, come find me on Twitter . If I’m not working on audio, I want to be talking/writing about it.

So whats this blog all about?? . mainly Mastering and general audio etc, but its also about the road that brought me to where i am now. hopefully, some of the readers will take away a few positive points to help them make the most of their own potential.

Take it from the top!!

took to learning guitar at about 13.became a reasonable player, including some good lead work. first guitar was a strat….only a squier, but one of the early ones with staggered alnico pickups etc…..i digress , but even at that age people would comment on my sound. i was never the most technical player, sure i could do some fancy sweeping (no..not with a broom ) but my sound was always my best attribute.

Early recording endeavours

Dad owned a small local studio. 16 track 2 inch tape multitrack and a huge soundcraft desk, neither of which were in great working order. Revox 1/4 inch open reel, a few good mics, including u87,414 etc, very minimal processing, 1 stereo comp, 1 delay/adt. plate reverb then a yamaha rev 7 in the late 80′s. Oh….not to forget…the biggest pair of wall mounted Tannoys you ever saw!. I feared for my life when walking under those. The material we produced was nothing to be proud of, but at a time when most musicians could only dream of such luxuries, we were pretty lucky.

this page is under construction. doin bits as i get time
