About me
I'm an award winning sound engineer from Edinburgh. Rich in experience with live audio equipment such as d&b audiotechnik's P.A. systems and proficient with modern consoles from manufacturers such as DiGiCo and Yamaha. I have a good understanding of theatrical programming such consoles. I offer a modern approach to audio engineering with efficient operation and setup. Audio technology has always been a keen interest of mine since high school where I was involved early in audio re-enforcement for school bands, school theatre and local amateur theatre groups' sound reinforcement. This lead to professional work in the area and has extended to international tours along with sound design work for large scale musicals. I have an extremely technical mind. Other's generally turn to me for advice when problems arise with audio systems. Generally I solve them or know the route to a solution.Additional skills:
* I Have a skilled ear for audio. I have good frequency perception and know how to balance and tune a system effectively. I also tend to get irritated when something doesn't sound good and won't stop until the issue's cured.
* Proficient wtih d&b Audiotechnik amplifiers and speakers and have had use from an early age.
*Owner with a good understanding of Smaart V.8, DPA4007 and lectrosonics wireless measurement system.
* Familiar with Radio Microphone systems such as the Shure Premier UHF and Sennhesier System 5000 and later. Capable of tuning, fitting discreetly to performers and ad hoc servicing.
* Strong IT and Networking skills. Can touch type.
* Hold a Full UK Driving License
