Music Creation, Mixing and Production

Steve has two decades of experience in creating music of all tastes and genres. Currently most of this work is done at his home based studio in Hastings. Most of the tools Steve uses are in the box (Computer) such as Cubase, Native instruments, Maschine and various other plugins and tools. Steve currently writes for a NZ based music library known as Woodcut. This supplies music in various formats to TV and Radio.

Steve also mixes his own work but is also involved in Live Mixing for a range of bands. Steve has had experience with Streightup - a covers band, Toi Toi Event Centre, Deja Blue and his current band The GunSmiths.

Writer and Transcriber

Steve spends a lot of time writing and transcribing music either in to study workbooks for students or for other asking patronage. This something he loves to do and there is a thrill in writing out something from an audio file or just being creative and writing from your head to see what works. Tools he uses are mostly Cubase, Transcribe, Guitar Pro and recently Dorico.
