Great Tutorial!
Just bought the SSL bundle on sale for $249. My deciding factor was watching this tutorial before I bought it. Well explained, awesome tips, and seems quite easy to use if you take the time to tinker around with it.

1. When did you start dabbling in music?
I was classically trained in piano and voice from the age of 5. Trained through the Royal Academy of Music in London, then fell in love with electronic music when i was 16 buying my first synth, the infamous Korg Poly 800!
2. What training have you had?
Sounds corny but it really was the school of hard knocks. I knocked on studio doors until one let me in, and worked for free for the first year. When I said I was going to have to leave due to having no money left, they gave me a salary of $14,000 a year, but it was an IN and I took it. I spent all free hours, watching, listening, and learning anything I could. When the studio wasn't booked I was in there. The in house engineer used to give me copies of multi tracks that I could remix and mess with. So I learnt by making mistakes, and being around mentors, all be they involuntary ones. As far as Avid Pro Tools and Waves plugins are concerned. I spent 5 years as north america product specialist for Waves, basically being the go to guy for high end studios, engineers and artists, and then moved to Avid to be part of the pro audio team for North America. So I have an immense amount of experience with both those lines.
3. When did you get into recording?
I was 17. Hassled studios until one of them finally got so fed up with me that they said yes come in and shut up, which is exactly what I did……….for a few weeks. Then I started with the questions but they were stuck with me.
4. People you have worked with/for?
Acoustic sessions with everyone from Robert Plant and Jimmy Page, to Shakira. I had 2 number one singles with a band that we launched in Australia, a duo named Shakaya. I've been the go to person for every studio from OceanWay in Nashville to Setai Recording and Hit Factory in Miami. I was national production director for a national radio station network in Australia, overseeing producers in 40 odd radio stations. I worked with Icehouse WAY back when in the early 90s. I spent a year working with Scott Stapp from Creed working on his new album. I spent a lot of time in Jamaica for a couple of years too. Some great artists over there.
5. Why are you so good at training people?
I LOVE helping, and I love demoing. When I've been asked how to do something, I come up with analogies that I can't even think of coming up with in my own time. Annoys the heck out of me to be honest. I get a real thrill when a studio or an artist rings me and are desperate, and I manage to help them through it. Sometimes its as simple as a 5 second answer, Sometimes I'm helping them come up with ways to mould the sound that becomes the album on the radio around the world. All up its rather fun.
