Exciting news! We’ve added a great new service available immediately to all our customers. Full Band Production When Big Cloud Productions started it was just a small, but lovely production studio, perfect for singer songwriters who didn’t have a band of their own. I would record their vocals and guitars and add programmed drums, bass, keys, vocals […]
I’ve recently made the switch to Universal Audio Plugins and Hardware. I initially added a UAD2 PCI Duo card to my DAW and then added a Quad Satellite . I’ve also added the following UAD2 plugins to Big Clouds sonic arsenal! Universal Audio 1176 Classic Limiter Collection ATR-102 Mastering Tape Recorder API Vision Channel Strip EMT […]
Sorry about the Radio silence the last couple of months. I’ve been so busy it’s been hard to find time to change my guitar strings, nevermind anything else (That reminds me…) Anyway, over July/Aug /Sept the duo I play in The Deltatones have been crazily busy, playing up to five gigs a week , which is […]
So, I had a plan to improve my day to day set up. I decided I needed an extra rack mount with two more more preamps, a kemper and a power conditioner. I did a little doodle… First off I bought two Golden Age Projects 73 microphone preamps. I already owned one, which I loved, […]
So, Brexit happened. That was a big deal right? Jesus. I voted remain, but rather than moan and fight with everyone on social media, I thought I’d be better off writing a song. I wrote and recorded this and ‘Just a Boy’ in a frenzied week of politically charged activity. Poor Cubase didn’t know […]
I wrote this song for the Lavalamp album a few months ago. I was getting concerned with the amount of pressure my 6 year old son was being put under at his infant school. I didn’t blame his school or the teachers, but the Tory Government, who under the then Education secretary Nicky Morgan were […]
Another 3 song EP completed for an unsigned singer songwriter who is hoping to get his songs heard by a wider audience. David travelled all the way from France to Liverpool to record this EP of original songs. The session went very smoothly and David who is a lovely man, was very easy to work with. We […]
It’s been a real pleasure to have Bernz Jüngboi at the studio over the last few weeks. He’s been here tracking 3 songs for his new release, ”The Original Maids Of Honour EP’. Using only a korg kaossilator and a handful of effects. His three electronic songs are powerful and something really different. I’ve got to say, […]
I completed work on a Video project for ‘Desert Fathers’ today, a great 2014 track they had already recorded. I actually feature on the track on Electric guitar (I did some session work for them at the time.) We used bought some stock timelapse footage and set up the text as per Tim and Graeme’s request. I […]
Yet another fantastic solo track by Tim O’Neill. We recently finished the ‘Tincture O’ project ‘Needle Change X’ together with Lisa Von H and we were really pleased with how that turned out. This particular track, called ‘At The Door’ was less of a collaboration than Needle Change X, as Tim had the song already written in full […]
