Stavrou mixing with your mind license#

I couldnРІР‚в„ўt be happier with the final result and Mike Stavrou had a massive part in its success.РІР‚СњР”В¬LICK HEREР’В to listen to Alex GibsonРІР‚в„ўs album РІР‚ВThis Is LifeРІР‚в„ў that Stav worked on. Mike was able to capture the ambience, energy and cohesion of all the musicians and create an energy that emulates the feeling of going to live gig but with the high end sound that Mike is renowned for. РІР‚СљMike Stavrou was the recording engineer for all the live tracks on my debut album РІР‚ВThis is LifeРІР‚в„ў. Thank You Stav, we love you and we love your work mate.Р”Вave, Dean, Derek, Mark, & Tony РІР‚вЂњ Faceless Mirror / NSW

Stavrou mixing with your mind license#

We allowed Stav artistic license on many of the tracks, and were never disappointed with the outcome. On headphones you can hear how much time is put into little things like reverse reverbРІР‚в„ўs, fading delays, effects, and panning. One of the most amazing aspects to the mix of the Faceless Mirror album is the difference between how it sounds on speakers versus headphones. We feel we have made a connection for life, and that Stav will always be part of our team. We started to hear excitement in his voice as we delivered another song to him. He understood the music, and enjoyed the songРІР‚в„ўs written by Dave Cavanagh. StavРІР‚в„ўs technique and experience was something you just canРІР‚в„ўt imagine finding. So we did РІР‚вЂњ and we finished at the top!! It was like having our very own George Martin.lol. When we were looking at finding someone to mix, Christine Beatty (DeanРІР‚в„ўs Fiance) kept telling us РІР‚ВStart at the top, and work your way downРІР‚в„ў.

Each time we heard a new mix of a song, our minds, and senses were just blown away. The mixing process took 3 months of us visiting and sitting with him, as well as conversing through email and phone. We were lucky enough that Stav liked what we did. We explained to him that we had produced an album in a lounge room over the past 3 yrs and that we had no idea of what we were doing. His passion for what he does best, truly showed. What more could you ask for?! Stav doesnРІР‚в„ўt just mix your song, he creates a whole microcosm of a world within it.РІР‚СњР”В®mily Toner Singer / Songwritter / Producer РІР‚вЂњ Byron Bay NSWР”Р‡rom the very first time we met Michael Stavrou (Stav), we knew he was the man for the job. Stav collaborated with me on the mix from start to finish and delivered a final track that not only captured the emotion of my song but amplified it about 100 times. His book РІР‚ВMixing with your MindРІР‚в„ў literally blew my mind when I read it. Mike Stavrou is a legend in the audio production world. РІР‚СљHaving studied music production at Abbey Road Institute, I knew there was only one person I wanted to mix my first original track. George surprised me with this as the forward for my book.

Sir George Martin (Grammy Award winning Producer, The Beatles) Ask our greatest classical guitar player, John Williams, who his chosen engineer is and he will pick Mike Stavrou without hesitation.РІР‚Сњ

Over the years he has built an impressive list of clients who, like me, appreciate his skill in obtaining a fine sound both during recording and afterwards in the mix. He has never been afraid to experiment and he helped me on many sessions, achieving great sounds without any input from me. Mike thinks deeply about both the music, and the technology that we have to use to make music work. Later, when I got to know him really well, I began to understand his approach to recording and mixing. He was not the run of the mill sort of extrovert recording engineer that one expects in a busy studio and I was struck by his quiet and modest way of going about his tasks. РІР‚СљMike Stavrou came to work with me in London at the old Air Studios in Oxford Circus РІР‚вЂњ a long time ago.
