Episode Show Notes:

A special episode this week as Benedikt sits down with Self-Recording Syndicate graduate Dewi Thompson.  

Dewi is a songwriter from the UK who also produces and mixes his own material as a solo artist and collaborates with another artist under the names Altered States and Brave New World.

Dewi felt that there were some holes in his audio production knowledge and after aimlessly watching hundreds of hours of conflicting YouTube content (we’ve all been there) on how compression is the most important thing to have ever existed, he decided to reach out to Benedikt for some personal feedback and coaching.

It was clear the Dewi was a talented musician and songwriter but there were some blind spots and a lack of direction.

During Dewi’s 18 months in the Self-Recording Syndicate he has developed systems and a reliable process to get amazing results consistently and with confidence.

This journey goes all the way back to the 90’s when Dewi began recording on an Atari ST with some outboard gear including the coveted Alesis QuadraVerb GT.

These days Dewi prefers a more modern setup and is a proficient Cubase user.  

Now that Dewi has the knowledge and skills he needed, he has some very exciting projects in the pipeline. So watch this space.

Let's welcome Dewi and hear about his fascinating journey from where he was to where he is now.
