I have a full Dolby Atmos equipped post production studio in the garden of my home in Lewes, East Sussex. It’s based around an Apple Mac Studio M4 Max running Pro Tools Ultimate with a full PMC monitoring system. I have a recording room that can accommodate four actors comfortably. I also regularly use our quiet garden and house as recording locations to give different acoustics. I can provide catering and off street parking for four cars (plus additional on-street parking). Many award winning audio dramas have been recorded here, including BBC’s “The Lovecraft Investigations” and “Silos”.

My outside broadcast rig is based around a Presonus 32 channel fully digital mixing desk with ethernet based stagebox. I have everything you’d need for a complex radio recording including eight Shure Beta 87a stage mics and six Neumann km184 audience mics, a full multitrack Pro Tools recording system and industry standard Qlab sound effect playback system. I travel with a library of over 200,000 sound effects and can make pretty much any sound given a bit of notice.

I spend a lot of my time recording dramas on location. I generally record straight to stereo using either Sennheiser MKH 1818, 8040/8030 or Neumann RSM191 mics and Sound Devices 8 track recorder (but have capability to add to this if required). I’ve made more than 100 dramas on location and have been working this way since mobile drama recording became feasible 35 or so years ago. I won BBC Best Sound Designer 2016 and am part of the team that has won BBC Best Audio Drama four times in the last decade..
