I used a little bit of time during this quarantine to throw together a cover of Johnny Cash's "Folsom Prison Blues". I really enjoyed doing this one!  Recorded / mixed / mastered in about a day here at Wired Studio.

I did stem masters for Brent's debut E.P. "Weymouth". Check out the video for the single "The Best We've Had" below.

Fallstate release their new E.P "Disorder and Symmetry" which was mixed and mastered at Number 8 Wire Recording Studio. Check out the link to the video below!

Flirting with Disaster have just released their latest album "Redundant". This 19 song (40 minute) album was recorded / mixed / mastered at Number 8 Wire Recording Studio. Check out the lyric video below for "White Noise".

Tonight I tested my MXL Genesis FET vs Blue - Blueberry vs Shure KSM 44.  Obviously the differences between the distances of the vocalist and the mics will be SLIGHTLY different (cms max) and the gain is set to the same for all mics, but you get the picture.

Preamps:
Neve Portico 5012 - set to 36 db gain
Buzz Audio Elixir - set to around 36 db gain

My favorite is the combo of the MXL and the Neve. 

The other week I had a great pop punk band called "Selfhood" come up from Christchurch to record a single with me here at Wired Studios.  It was a great experience and I'm really happy with the way the song has turned out.  They are currently working on a video for it, so if you are into MXPX / Good Charlotte

Just made another great purchase for the studio. A Mesa Recto Cab 4x12.  All tested and sounding amazing.

I recently Recorded / Mixed / Mastered "Braves" debut E.P.  They are a killer pop punk band from New Zealand, so make sure you check out their tunes.

Just finished an 8 track EP for Auckland based Punk band "Prowler".  This band is well worth checking out.  Aggressive vocals, Hard hitting drums and chuggy bass and drums!  Just the way it should be. 

I recently wrote / recorded / mixed the theme tune for "Ginger Bread Kids" new amazing app "Math Machine".  Such a beautiful app that is designed to help teach kids maths at the same time as being fun.  Check it out https://itunes.apple.com/nz/app/math-machine/id660016354?mt=8

I also recorded and mixed the English and Maori voice overs for this!

Single "Get On Fine" for Auckland City based - SUPER talented "Nick McCabe" is finished and sounding amazing.  Can't wait for everyone to hear this tune.  Fully produced / recorded / mixed / mastered here at wired studios.  This song is going to swamp the radio!  Its insanely catchy.

Exciting times at the studio!  Recording and mixing some great artists, including Annabel Fay - doing an acoustic version of her latest single "Warrior" and Nick McCabe doing a full single.  Both are incredibly talented artists so make sure you check them out !!!

Bridey Rose's E.P Has been finished / Mixed and Mastered at Wired Studios.  Now currently working on 3 Songs for Sam French.  Coming along nicely !!  All acoustic tracks have been done, now onto the vocals.
