Tips'n Tricks from John O'Mahony Electric Lady

Statement by John O'Mahony after using

the TUBE-TECH CM1A Compressor:

 

“I'm blown away by the CM1A compressor, its response is amazing, I never thought a Tube compressor could react like this!”

 

Top engineers and producers Andy Wallace and

John O Mahony travelled to Copenhagen in the

summer 2009 to record the Danish band KASHMIR in their private studio.

 

We brought a TUBE-TECH RM8 rack to

the studio to add some more tools to the session.

 

Andy Wallace and John O'Mahony

immediately fell in love with the new

TUBE-TECH RM Modules.

 

After recording the band in Copenhagen, additional recording, including vocals  was done in Electric Lady, NY.

The album was also mixed in Electric Lady by John O'Mahony.

Release date: 01 02 2010. 

 

John O'Mahony has since continued working with the RM2 TUBE BOX in Electric Lady  New York,  

and he has been so kind to make samples of some of his sounds and settings for the

RM series Compressor CM1A and Eq EM1A.

 

John O'Mahony  now lists the CM1A as one of his favorite compressors.

John O'Mahony Freelance Engineer and Producer

John O’Mahony is a Grammy Nominated mixer and producer known for his indie-rock sensibilities, having worked with such acclaimed artists as Coldplay, Metric, Alberta Cross, Kaiser Chiefs and The Cribs.

Recent career highlights for John include mixing and contributing additional production to Metric’s 2009 album "Fantasties" which quickly went Gold in Canada, and topped the US Billboard Heatseekers and CMJ Album charts; mixing Metric’s 2 previous albums - including their Canadian platinum selling "Live It Out"; tracks on Coldplay’s multi-platinum Grammy Award winning "Viva La Vida Or Death And All His Friends" and mixing Depeche Mode "Live At World Cafe".
As part of the mixing team for "Viva La Vida Or Death And All His Friends" John was also awarded the 2009 Tec Award for Outstanding Creative Achievement in the category of Record Production / Album.

John moved from his native Ireland to New York City in 1998 to work as a staff engineer for the infamous Chung King Studios for 3 years. In the summer of 2001, John became an independent engineer splitting his time between mixing albums alone and engineering for legendary mixer Andy Wallace.

John first began producing when Metric front woman Emily Haines enlisted him to produce, engineer and mix her critically acclaimed solo album "Knives Don't Have Your Back".

While always interested in traveling John is currently based out of Electric Lady Studios in New York City.

"It's a really exciting time for audio technology, there are still a few classic pieces I love but today's business calls for zero downtime and reliable recall ability so I'm finding myself using more modern designs that have been inspired by the vintage legends".
