We caught up with Dave at top London studios, The Strongroom, while he was doing a 5.1 mix for Motorhead.
Dave is an experienced and sought after engineer and has recently been gaining a respected reputation as a 5.1 mix engineer, a skill which he has been perfecting over the last year. Projects include Carl Cox, Quintessant, Motorhead, D*Note, Jamelia, Kitachi, JTQ, BT, and most recently Orbital and Eagle Eyed Cherry (track featured in the hit British film, 'Billy Elliot').
Dave began his career at London studio Strongroom, Europe's largest and most successful independent studio. He then made the transition as a freelance engineer and has worked with a host of different producers, artists and bands including Kitachi, JTQ, Beverley Knight, D*Note to name a few.
He has recently completed working with Orbital, mixing their forthcoming album in both stereo and 5.1 surround sound. This is an area in which he has been working hard at and has mixed projects now for Prodigy, Orbital, Eagle Eyed Cherry (the track 'Burning Up' was included in the soundtrack for the forthcoming British film 'Billy Elliot') BT, Carl Cox and Motorhead.
