Kenneth Clark - Rabid Dog Studio Submission

[Kenneth HughParticipant]

Location:
Johannesburg, South Africa

Bio:
Pretty new to all this mixing stuff as I thought it was reserved for the chosen few. After mixing my bands first EP a few people commented that I might be able to do this mixing thing. Making a living in the music industry is a dream I have had for 23 years and I am looking forward to giving it a bash.

DAW
I use Sonar Cakewalk as my prefered DAW

Genres
Currently I have only done mixes in the metal and progressive rock genres but I am keen to expand my horizons

Favourite Plugins:
Favourite plugins include the FAB Filter EQ, De-esser and multi band compressor. I am also fond of the LA-76, LA-2 and LA-3 compressors. The SoundID (Sonarworks Reference) is a huge help as well.

Guitar amps: Marshall JVM210 and JTM45 and EL34 50/50 Dual Monobloc, EVH 5150 III Stealth and EVH 5150 III 50W, Mesa Boogie Stiletto and Dual Rectifier, Orange Dark Terror, Peavey 6505 and Classic 20

Bass: 5 String Precision, 5 String Sound Gear (active)
Headphone preamp: Mackie HM-400

Gear I have my eyes on:
I would love to get myself some high end ribbon and condenser microphones, I feel that is all that is missing.

Social Media:
The studio isn't on instagram or facebook yet, want to hone my skills before advertising

Neat story:
The only cool thing about this studio is that it took me 23 years to build it. Been chieseling away at gear and finally, by God's grace, it all came together. Time to put it to use!
