Being able to change the filter slope from the classic Moog 24dB per octave is a great feature retained from the Subsequent 37. You can now change this to 6dB, 12dB or 18dB via the hidden parameter settings. Within the envelope section, there are four knobs on the front panel relating to the attack, decay, […]
My attention was first brought to Moog’s Sub Phatty after viewing an interview with music production duo The Chainsmokers. They used it on their hit track “Roses”. From what I understand, the days are numbered for Moog’s Sub Phatty. This became apparent recently when trying to purchase one. Many of the big retailers no longer […]
Before you decide to send your song to be mastered, it’s worth spending some time referencing your mix. Compare it with other mixes in your library, listening carefully to the frequency range, dynamics and levels of the instruments. It’s important to choose a track that is similar in style to yours. Choosing a rock track […]
Living in a studio flat in central London back in 2005, it was impossible for me to play music through speaker monitors without being a nuisance to the neighbours.

If you succeed in pulling off the rest of the components in your production, you only need an epic bass line to finish off your awesome pop song (you probably wouldn’t leave bass until the very end, but let’s pretend you did). Any pop music producer worth his or her salt should know there are no rules […]
If you aren’t a professional recording artist then you could be forgiven for not knowing exactly what a music producer actually does. In a previous blog, I highlighted exactly what I and other pop music producers in the UK do on a day-to-day basis, but now it’s time for me to really showcase why you […]
Mastering | Music Producer London The final process of audio post-production is known as mastering. The reason for mastering is to attain a sonically balanced stereo mix in order to optimise playback across all formats and systems. A long established practise, the mastering process is usually carried out by a mastering engineer, although music producers […]
Vocal Editing | Music Producer London You could say that the vocal is the most important element of a song. Pop songs on the radio have nigh on perfect vocals. The singers are incredible. Timing and tuning is usually as good as it is possible to be, and the vocals are well mixed, leaving us […]
