The Studio:

Precision Cuts have moved studios. The old studio in elephant and castle became too expensive so in January 2005 Tam began a studio share with top breaks producer Christian J. Chris J is also mixdown engineer for Meat Katie, Dylan Rhymes, Soul of Man, Lee Coombs and plenty more. Tam has been steadily honing his skills for a long time now and the new studio (and a little help from chris) has allowed him to sharpen them to deadly effect. The current PC sound is heavier than ever, much to the annoyance of the studio neighbours Meat Katie, Dylan Rhymes and Metric.

The Technical stuff:

The studio is based around a G5 Mac running logic 7. Two UAD cards give the whole system some serious beef. This is all running through an Allen and Heath GS3000. Currently there 16 outputs but this will be expanded to 24 shortly. The main outputs of the mixer run into an Apogee mini - me, so the final mixdowns sound SWEET. Speakers are Dynaudios, NS10s and also Mackie HR824s. There are a couple of synths in use , the NORD rack, a Jen monosynth and also the old favourite Poly 800. There is also a vocal/recording booth for vocals, percussion and drums. In the picture above we see badboy drummer Dave De Rose laying down some heavy funk beats for yet another PC production. There is a Fender twin tube amp that often gets used to distort acid bass. The main acid bass on "Smartbreaks In The Place" was recorded in exactly that way.

Tam Precision is available for mixdown work. For a good example of the sound check out the Zero and Mr B remix of "Takin Over" on streetwise records. This was mixed down at chris j's studio and is definitely sounding rather obese.... contact us here for more details and prices
