James is an incredibly attentive, upbeat and energetic producer to work with. He is patient and attentive in understanding what a piece needs, both in delivery from the artist and sound engineering during the mixing process.
I had a highly insightful session with James. His setup is second to none, with a mix of analogue equipment and digital plugins to achieve as nuanced a sound as required. He will retake as many times as needed, or offer alternative creative solutions in solving any issues or bridging any gaps.
James is also an excellent live sound engineer. I hope to work with him at many gigs and recording sessions in the future. Highly recommended!
