I'm available for hire as a freelance Pro Tools or Sadie engineer, specialising in speech and sound for broadcast, and have been working in busy London sound facilities for 13 years.
Well regarded as a studio sound engineer (don't just take my word for it), I can offer recording, editing, and mixing for radio programmes, TV documentary dubbing, commercials, podcasts, games, ADR, corporates, live radio PR/radio days, as-live sports programmes, foreign localisation dubbing and more.
I decided to leave full-time work in late 2011, to return to freelancing, and as such am now fully available.
You can also download my printable CV for more detail.
Home and portable Pro Tools recording/editing/mixing
As well as being a freelance sound engineer, I have my own portable Pro Tools 9 rig, along with an extensive sound effects and music library. I'm set up to work with video files and OMFs, so I'm pretty compatible - along with a quiet spot in the City of London for editing and mixing work if you would like to attend.
With my fast broadband connection I can either work remotely at home, or you can direct the edit/mix via Skype.
Detailed information on my home editing/mixing service can be found here.
Please note, I am an experienced engineer for broadcast sound, and am not a sound engineer for music.
Sorry, I will not come to your studio/office to set-up your equipment. I do not offer advice on Pro Tools or Sadie. I do not do installations nor maintenance or repair. RTFM.

Per hour (min. 3hrs) £30
No VAT involved. Prices exclude any dry-hire studio costs, however my own studio or equipment carries no additional charge.
As I get increasingly busy, clients often book me weeks in advance, so please book early to avoid disappointment.
Contact me to discuss your project - like someone with rubber bones, I'm very flexible.
Please thoroughly read the terms and conditions before booking.
