Nailbed - Don’t Have Time to Lie
Alternative Metal
Nailbed are good friends of mine from my hometown of Ipswich. I recorded, mixed, and mastered their song Don’t Have Time to Lie over the course of late 2025.
During the whole process, I worked closely with the band to ensure the track was to spec and exactly as it had sounded in their minds. This meant a few mix and master revisions which in the end proved to be absolutely worth it as the track came out sounding amazing.
Overall, this was a formative experience in terms of my career. My first real-world project, I was able to learn a lot about my approach to recording, mixing and mastering.
For example, I learned the importance of maintaining a fun feeling in the studio. Recording can be a long process, maybe the longest process for the artist overall. Therefore, it is important that recording never begins to feel like a job.
In this case, though we definitely got some really solid recordings, I couldn’t help but feel the vibes may have been even better if I had provided the band with the ability to record together as if they were jamming, rather than defaulting to the typical separation-centric approach.
Tristan Latchford - Rain
Classical
I was introduced to Tristan in January of 2026 when I volunteered to record and produce a dual-piano concert he had organised with the wonderfully talented pianists Marion Caldwell and Kristin Barone-Samadi. Together, they were performing pieces from the likes of Rachmaninov, Brubeck, Milhaud as well as “Rain”, an original piece Tristan had written some years earlier that had secured him a place studying at Durham University.
Tristan asked me to produce a version of rain with more of a “studio feel“. To do this, I mixed the track entirely in analog, making use of Anglia Ruskin’s flagship recording studio which is built around an API 2448 desk.
After printing the track with some manual live-panning and fader moves and going through some of the outboard EQ available in the studio, I mastered in-the-box as I normally might. Mastering “Rain“ taught me much about the intricacies of mastering, particularly for a genre where such a fine balance is necessary with compression, or really any dynamic range tool.
Tristan’s brief included conveying somehow the presence of two pianos. This provided a really interesting challenge, and one I think I was able to tackle well as well as creatively, utilising careful panning and EQ to do this, keeping the lowest frequencies central and carefully avoiding phase issues.
