As of mid May 2008, PowerBook Studio will take me to Thailand, demonstrating the portability and the reach of the studio, especially when combined with the potential of the internet.

For the foreseeable future PBS will be focusing predominantly on providing an online mixing & session service. Over the last year or so I have been pleasantly surprised at the number of people who have approached me wanting a mix of some pre-recorded tracks or requiring additional instrumentation and also those who require pieces of music for use in their multimedia material. It seems that many bands, songwriters and other artistes track their recordings in one place and then look somewhere else for the mix and additional production elements.

It’s possible I suppose that some people mix it all themselves and others attempt to, but then decide that they either don’t enjoy the mixing process or they want a better job done. In any event, it suits me because I get an opportunity to keep myself occupied in a varied and enjoyable way, which is always a good thing.

Additionally the studio will be working on it’s creative output in the form of music & song composition for TV, Movies, Multimedia and for other artistes with a view for more projects in the future comprising of various sound & sample products for use with audio applications like Garageband & Logic etc…

My own services as a guitarist will be available for online session work. Imagine sending a track to me at midnight that needs some guitar parts added and then waking up in the morning to find the finished parts in your inbox! The same thing will apply to mix projects too.

Don’t forget to check out the sister site PowerBook Producer which is the place to discover insights into the PowerBook Producer’s philosophy on recording great sounds. it’s early days over there, but there will be a lot of great stuff to take in over there as time goes on.
