James Lloyd-Wyatt

James Lloyd-Wyatt is a musician, producer, owner operator, and chief engineer at Ginger Studios in Melbourne, Australia – a world class recording studio capable of delivering the highest level of music production. 

 Drawing on 20 years of experience, James has worked with many big name international  recording artists such as Justin Bieber, Wu Tang Clan and Flume. But his real passion is working with artists at the beginning of their journey, at the start of their recording career, where he can affect a positive change in them and give them a great first experience.  

 James’ primary focus has been harnessing and showcasing the best features in artists’ music. His primary tuition in mixing came from the watchful eye of the legendary Mike Shipley, known for recording and mixing Australian and international artists such as Alison Krauss, Maroon 5, Def Leppard, Joni Mitchell, and Greenday. Michael passed the secrets of his trade to James, who has taken those special skills and integrated them into a modern workflow. In 2008-2009, James also worked with Jonathan Burnside whose studio is known for his recordings of the Australian groups Sleepy Jackson, Dallas Crane and  Grinspoon. 

In this month’s Part 2,  we will explore further the intricacies of  the set up – in particular the various approaches for  capturing the best vocal performance and sound replication for singers both in the popular and classical genres – the recording process and the aftermath.
