Control room is based around the DAW Logic Pro and is used for everything from working to picture, arranging, mixing and mastering to producing scores to print out for sessions.

In terms of digital recording I use a selection of high quality plugins for effects processing (reverbs etc) and samples. Orchestral sample libraries include the stunning Spitfire Albion I & II, VSL, East West Platinum Plus, Miraslov Vitous, Cinematic Strings II & LA Scoring Strings.

I am a professional pianist and violinist and also play guitar, bass guitar, percussion and organ. Where there isn’t the budget to record everything with real instruments, a blend of sampled instruments and the real thing can produce excellent results.
