Recording & Studio Engineering in Sydney and beyond

From vocals and single instrument overdub sessions to full band, strings and large ensemble sessions, Adrian captures performances that sound true to the performance, and showcase everyone at their best.

Get Your Sound Captured the Right Way

Based in Sydney but available to travel, Adrian’s recording experience includes not just the usual drums, guitars and vocalists, but string sections, big bands, and anything else you can put a mic in front of.

Over the past twenty years, he’s worked in many studios in the UK, Europe and Australia, engineering for both his own projects and for other producers. During this time he has developed a reputation as someone who gets the sound captured in the most appropriate way with the minimum of fuss – to allow the performances to shine, and the session to flow.

Producers that Adrian has engineered for in recent years include Khaled Rohaim (the Kid LAROI), DNA (Ricky Martin/Delta Goodrem), Jesse F. Keeler (Johnny Hunter) and Guy Simpson (“Dream Lover”/“Muriel’s Wedding” musicals), and in 2013 he was Grammy-nominated for recording Alicia Keys on Pharrell’s “G I R L” album.

Whether it’s a full band tracking live, layering guitars, or getting the perfect vocal, the goal is always the same, performances that feel true and recordings that hold up anywhere.
