Some Audio News From The Sonic Cuisine

May 11, 2014  /  Wes Maebe

Hi all,

A quick post to keep you up to date on what's cooking at the Sonic Cuisine.

I've been spending some quality time up in Bradford with the Monster Jaw lads. We've recorded 4 new songs which we're in the middle of mixing.

Also just completed a mini tour with Australian hard rock band Deth Enemy in Germany, The Netherlands and the UK. Mix work continues on the next Delta Unit instalment and I had the great pleasure of recording the amazing Elliott Randall for a Samuel Purdey song, which we'll start mixing in June.

I'll be in the Swiss mountains for 3 weeks, mixing Leelo Pascal's new album in his wonderful studio.

So, you can expect various social media updates on that. And talking about social media, I stumbled across one of Barry Rudolph's posts. Have a looksie, it's an all-star cast.

Keep in touch, see you when I get back.

Wesonator explains audio related topics for TC Helicon & VoiceCouncil

February 10, 2014  /  Wes Maebe

A little while back, Voice Council's editor, Greg Barker, and I holed up at RAK Studios to make a few short videos to help demystify those large and scary mixing consoles.

A couple of the vids have now gone live and Voice Council have just published the first part of my audio compression article.

Enjoy.
