Marcus and Luke are joined by Grammy Award Winning Mixer, Engineer and Producer Daniel Moyler (Olivia Dean, Dua Lipa, George Ezra, FKA Twigs), discussing his philosophies and approaches to recording and mixing, maintaining a genuine and unique sound in a world where music production tools are becoming more and more universal, and how important making good relationships are in the industry.

Also up for debate are the top music and food pairings, the worst travelling food on Uber Eats/Deliveroo, and why windows are the most important thing in a studio.

Marcus and Luke welcome Jon Hucks to The Guestafield, discussing the creative use of distortion and deliberately messing with sounds via pedalboards, plugins and amps to create a sound that is unique to you.

The trio test out a new coffee whilst discussing guitar pedal waiting lists, reminiscing about Pro Tools versions from their youth, hearing how Marcus made a fortune from the Uber Eats referral scheme, and sharing stories from their beginnings as assistants through to the present day as experienced engineers.

In this episode, Marcus and Luke discuss the four main mic polar patterns, investigating how you can use them both technically and creatively.

They also put some key studio debates to bed. What’s the best tea to have in the studio? What’s the best button on an SSL? Who wins - Attack, Decay, Sustain or Release?
