    Game Changer

    I went to Paul Smyth Music to record my ‘Bucket List’ single.

    His professionalism; musicianship; knowledge and unbiased guidance throughout made it a joy!

    The result was more than I could have hoped for.

    I highly recommend his services for any recording; mixing; engineering; production and mastering needs!

    Working with Paul was a joy.  Being an old beardy, organic, folk singer type, I was apprehensive about working to a click, but Lem and I got down a live take, hit on an appropriate tempo and Paul started building from my guitar up.  The process was a revelation!  Paul suggested ideas and seemed to have understood the song right from the start.  By the time we were layering on Lem’s vocals, the track was transformed and yet the vision remained constant.  I can’t describe how happy I am with it.  Best thing I have ever done.  Also, the most fun!

    Hey Paul - thanks for getting involved in the ‘Home Studio Simplified’ mix contest, and congratulations on winning.

    Your drums were awesome!

    Your acoustic guitars were spot on as far as tone and feel go!

    The artist loved your vocal chain and was staggered with what you did to bring the vocal to life in this mix.

    Great Job!”
