Sadly, Paddox farm was sold in the Autumn of 2005 & I had to move on from my mobile home. I am now living in Netherbury, also near Bridport, but my recording equipment is still available to use for recording purposes, & it's pretty quiet here too... Just get in touch & I'll let you know the latest....

My project studio (for those who'd like to know) is based around a Carillon AC-1 Audio PC running Cubase SX & Wavelab 4.0 & uses an Edirol DA-2496 (8 in / 8 out) interface. This gives me, along with various outboard modules & a Yamaha Motif 6 master keyboard, a great deal of flexibility in multitrack digital recording & editing at very high resolution (up to 24 bit/96Khz). I can record either in the studio, or outside (but currently restricted to the limits of mains cabling) by using a portable 8 track digital hard-disk based recorder, the recordings from which can later be transfered to the PC for further editing. I can provide anything from a basic one-off stereo live recording, to multitrack work, editing, mixing & mastering (with as much or little creative input as required); single tracks or whole albums.

As an end product, I can produce either DATs or Red book compatible CDRs (the standard required to be copied from professionally) to take away for mastering or reproduction yourself. I can also produce relatively small runs of CDRs (up to 50, or maybe 100) here & possibly also deal with CD artwork if required too. All costings are open to negotiation. I am aiming to make a living from doing things that serve the greater good & so my time would be an important parameter. I won't be able to provide the kind of service that you would get from a fully professional studio, but then you won't be paying anything like those prices either! Give me an idea of what you would like to do & I'll send you some costings....

Staying with me:

Seasonally grown organic salads, fruit & vegetables are often available from local growers - Bridport has a great Local Foods network. More exotic organic fruit & veg etc can also be bought fairly locally along with any other supplies. I am only 5 miles from the seaside & the local lanes around here are ideal for cycling.

Ethical diets are no problem. I myself have been vegan for 20 years & have followed a raw diet on & off for 7 years now. Studio users who appreciate good fruit & vegetable juices will value the opportunity to use my Green Star juicer & I also have an Excalibur Dehydrator & a Nut & Seed milk maker.

If you are interested in booking time in the studio, please email me the full details of your requirements & I'll see what I can arrange. Thanks.
