Audio Engineer

I run a Midas M32C connected to a PC (rack-mounted Intel Core i5-10600k, NVIDIA GTX 1660, ROG Strix B460-I Gaming, 32GB RAM) for all my processing needs.
My setup includes a Midas DL251 stage box, offering 32 channels (and 16 redundant) of classic British analogue preamps and 32 channels of bi-directional audio over Dante. This setup gives me the flexibility to manage a large number of backing tracks, access DAW-based plugins (like Autotune and Waves), and ensure recording redundancy.
I use a MOTU Midi Express XT for SMPTE output and 8 in/9 out channels of MIDI, enabling show automation for audio, lighting, and video, to help enhance the overall performance.
The rear patch panel connects 32 inputs to the stage box and splits them to direct out, maintaining the perfect monitor mix while allowing full access to in-house consoles or premium touring rigs.
Up to eight individual artist mixes are provided thanks to four Sennheiser G3 transmitters so you can hear what you want when you want. If In ears aren't enouh I have 16 analogue outputs or 96 channels of AES50 covering you in even the trickiest of situations.
With audio over IP (Dante & AES50), my network hub provides direct access to system processing and easy console switching via compatible system processing such as Lake.

My primary DAW is Ableton Live and I have an extensive plugin library that allows me to emulate an immense variety of instruments, sounds and classic analogue equipment. I have variety of top brands such as Sounttoys, Waves, Arturia, Antares and Focusrite allowing me to recreate a immersurable blend of sounds.
I also run AVID Pro Tools for situations where I need more flexiblity, such as film audio or final mixdowns and mastering.
On top of my Audio software I am running QLC+ and MAonPC to control lighting rigs of any size. Paired with my MOTU I can also provide SMPTE and midi triggers to lighting operators for automation or timecode keeping the show in sync at all times.
I handle video mixing and sstreaming through StreamlabsOBS and Resolume Arena to syncronise video to your performance as well as broadcast it to a global audience.

Live Production
I am currently the Australian touring engineer for Jitwam and James Keith. This work has seen me on tour at numerous bars, clubs and festivals around the country.
On top of my Live Sound duties I am often called upon for tour management and logistics management as I provide a great partner for communicating the artist vision as well as their technical requirements at all levels.
