Production Advice

“Everything you have advised us on has been invaluable… We learnt a hell of a lot from those emails. We will absolutely be in touch regarding future mixes”

- Josef Sykora from www.freefallmusicco.com

“It’s easy to get lost in the details of a recording and mix, but Ian sees the bigger picture.”

- Ben Burns (Largo, Natureboy, Cagedbaby, Long Range)

“Ian made me feel as comfortable about my music as anyone has ever made me feel. Look him up… He’ll make it sound beautiful, and soothe your soul.”

- Rose from the millionstars

“Brilliant! So much great information in there, that goes beyond just dealing with the bass… balance, space, and how important instrument/sound choice and arrangement is before you even get to the mix.”

- Adrian Ellis, Composer

“Every now and again, one of those ‘pay me for my advice’ services is WELL worth the money – Production Advice is great ! I need to remember to flag up the service more often. It’s the future : )”

- Steve Lawson - Bass Player, Dude

“Your ears should be insured for trillions. Thanks for all the superb work on my tracks.”

- John Howard

“When Ian points things out in my songs, I listen back and think ‘bloody hell – he’s right!’”

- Ben Leitch from Electrostone

“Ian is that rare thing amongst technicians; a bona fide musician able to appreciate “the major lift and the minor fall” – whilst simultaneously noticing frequencies only audible to dogs. He answers my queries, rather than presenting his own.”

- Dan Ecclestone from EM

“I’ve come to the conclusion that @ianshepherd is the most useful person I follow on Twitter. I love this post!”

- Nick Moreton from Trails By Aeroplanes

“I am very impressed by your feedback, it is spot-on… this has indeed been a fruitful coaching session and I am looking forward to working more with you!”

- Kim Jasper from Jakito Music
