My name is Jamie and welcome to The Dark Place, my recording studio based in the Shetland Islands, UK. I've been performing in bands in the Shetland music scene for 20+ years and have been involved in music related projects such as co-creating Heavy Metal Buffet (The Shetland Rock Festival) and The Bop Shop. While my specialty is mixing and mastering your recordings to sound exactly as you imagined, I also offer a full range of services including:
Full Production - I can work with you from the beginning of your project right to the end, helping to mould your songs into the final product you envision.
Programming & Instrumentation - I've been programming drums and synths for over 20 years. If you have a song that's missing a bit of ear candy, I can help bring it to life.
Teaching - I fully believe that with the tools available today, anyone is capable of recording a full song from the comfort of their home. I can teach you how to record, use plugins like MIDI instruments, and create a competitive-sounding song using affordable hardware and free software. This service is available in person (Shetland) or remotely over video.
