That was some time ago, huh?! For a long time I decided to concentrate on production, but I am now recording tracks for an album of my own. I'm working this around the production/engineering I'm doing for other artists, so it's taking a while. In fact I'm doing a little re-amping of the guitars for a new track next week, then planning sessions with my tame vocalist. I'm very pleased with how it's going. There will still be a prog-rock synth-bias to my new music, but it will be different to the electronic-fest of my past! These days I really enjoy hearing some real drums and guitar in there, which brings my music to life. Thank you for the kind words about my solo albums. That was some time ago, huh?!

I'd really recommend Paul's two albums to anyone interested in synth-based music (if they're still available anywhere!) Any more albums planned Paul? For similar tips and techniques there's a great channel on YouTube by Jem Godfrey of Frost*. http://www.youtube.com/user/planetfrost The "Geek Reports" are more focussed on Pro-Tools trickery There's a great example of using a circuit bent kids toy for re-amping guitar at 2min 30sec of this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zyex-ZnLCKI Great interview.

And Paul... yes Using the right trick for the right occasion is the answer and sometimes the trick is not to do anything clever or to use toys but just to do it right!! Steve Ryan..

I had a great time and it really went over well with our audience. We will have to do a part 2 sometime. Thanks again for doing the show Paul!

It's good to hear people are getting something out of hearing about my crazy world! Many thanks to the HRS guys for having sufficient interest in my work to spend so long letting me ramble. I wouldn't want to give the impression that I simply do these things all the time without an ear for the music. The examples I gave were, of course, highlighted to emphasise the techniques, but I use a lot of less extreme tricks in my productions too, to create mood, space, clarity and, well, to serve the song. If anyone is interested you can find my last album project for the UK band Tastebuds on Facebook. There I've used saturation techniques to create softness and subtelty too - try 'When I Think of You' as an example. My inbox is chock full of emails at the moment, but I'll get around to answering as many as I can. Thanks to everyone for showing an interest and maybe we'll end up in the same studio some day, so I can unleash my toys on you too! BTW, I actually prefer my little Tandy amp to the Marshall but I don't have it back from repair yet - well worth seeking one of those out. By for now and keep on making music. Shucks!
