Acclaim for recording work by QE old boy & teacher

QE Music Technology teacher and alumnus Tim Adnitt (1988-1995) has won acclaim for his work as a professional recording engineer on a recently released Robin Jones & King Salsa album.

The CD of Latin music, entitled Sabroso Mambo, was largely recorded in QE’s recording studio in the Music Block. The studio has state-of-the-art equipment including a Pro Tools HD system, a Midas Verona 320 console and Neumann and AKG microphones. Tim recorded, mixed and co-produced the CD.

Sabroso Mambo has been released to very positive reviews in the music press. “It’s always a joy to receive a new CD from the UK’s Godfather of Latin music – percussion maestro Robin Jones,” wrote the reviewer in bluesandsoul.com. “A special mention must go to the recording and mixing, which really enhances the strong songs, taking them on to another level.” Similarly, Jane Cornwell, writing in Songlines magazine, praised it as “a record that pulses with energy and experience”.

In addition to teaching the School’s Music Technology course, Mr Adnitt is a composer, sound designer and audio engineer. He recently co-produced and mixed the Loose Tubes album, Dancing on Frith Street – Jazzwise’s Archive Album of the Year 2010 (Critic’s Choice).

Weave Records, the record company which released the album, is one of QE’s Music Department sponsor companies.
