Two years today since my “official bootleg” live EP came out which received a limited release, so it’s not easy to find (just like my social media posts !)🫣 - follow me for more marketing strategy tips! 😝- thanks to @distrokid.com for the promo card

One of the benefits of digital audio (CD etc) compared to LP and tape was greater dynamic range but most modern recordings are less dynamic than many old analogue ones. I follow the advice from @ianshepherd.bsky.social and try to maintain the dynamics in my work, especially CD masters. Thoughts?

I’m starting 2025 in different surroundings. We’re having some work done in the room behind my home studio so I have relocated my mixing gear (minus monitors and acoustic treatment) to a bedroom for a week or two. I can make progress with headphones but looking forward to having speakers again

Love this song - I’ve played it a lot!!

So, Bluesky is my only social media platform now. I’d invested a lot of time in the 3 Meta apps but, like X, the decision to make facts optional doesn’t work for me. One good thing is I don’t have to decide what to post where any longer 🙂

Highly recommended if you’re interested in mastering. Also…as @ianshepherd.bsky.social found in his interview with the legendary Ken Scott, understanding mastering can help with developing mixing engineering skills

I recorded three songs for the Narrowboat Sessions last year. The second one has just been released. The boat has a custom analogue desk and, I think, achieves amazing sound. I’d love to know what you think youtu.be/8aSeGaKFc50?...

Sorry for the recent silence - I’m struggling to work out how to manage posts to the plethora of social media sites. Anyhoo, this song is getting some positive comments at live shows so I have released it as a single, featuring Susy Wall on vocals. songwhip.com/stevemcgrady...

The rain couldn't dampen my enjoyment recording three songs for The Narrowboat Sessions today - warm welcome, fascinating chat, genial host and an amazing technical set up in such a small and unlikely venue. Looking forward to the video in a few weeks time.
