Favourite VSX room and monitors combo has to be the Zuma Studios far-field with the modelled ATC SCM110ASL Pros. It has such a great dynamic range that you can really zoom in on sounds without losing any frequency response.

The Keylab 88 Mk3 sure does look a nice bit of gear. Arturia’s design team have done well.

Hitchcock’s “Vertigo” is ultimate film noir psychological thriller, but the score from Bernard Herrmann is a masterclass in romance.

On high rotation is the score to “Death Count” by Scott Glasgow. Would love a physical release of this. **insert Futurama meme of Philip J. Fry - Shut up and take my money**

The Nektar Panorama CS12 looks like a fantastic alternative to the Steinberg CC121. Being able to have tactile control of the modules and parameters within the channel strip based on the selected channel is just fantastic. The Cubase integration seems tight.

Is anyone still using actively SoundCloud to showcase your compositions? Weighing up the pros and cons and so far the benefits are minimal.

Maybe TikTok is ultimately the answer, but we need an alternative to Insta so we can all leave the Meta verse once and for all.

Insta nowadays really reminds me of Twitter. Full of useless ads, content from others you have zero interest in and posts which are just not even plausible.

Reimagining the soundscape of Arrival. In this score rework, I’ve combined music and sound design to put my own twist on this powerful scene from the film. I recommend listening through headphones or a proper setup. Respect to Jóhann Jóhannsson.

Currently having a little trial of Softube’s Flow Mastering Suite. It’s been positive so far. The concept of the mastering chain with simplified macros is a nice feature.

My score rework of a scene from Ridley Scott's "The Martian". The scene is based around Sol 494, where Watney's isolation and despair grow heavier as his mission continues. This hybrid sound blends electronic with orchestral elements to capture the solitude and resilience of Watney's journey.
