Hi, I’m Shuta Shinoda, an audio professional specializing in record production, mixing and recording engineering. Over the past 15+ years I’ve led sessions at RAK Studios, Strongroom and private London studios, working with artists such as Ghostpoet, Hot Chip, Spiritualized, Anna Meredith, Jehnny Beth and more. My credits span releases on 4AD, Domino, PIAS, Moshi Moshi, Bella Union and Warner Music Japan, and I’ve contributed to Mercury Prize-nominated and SAY Award-winning projects. I translate creative direction into practical technical decisions, guiding artists through pre-production, mic choice, tracking, editing, overdubs, mixing and final delivery. I run hybrid recording and mixing workflows that blend analogue tape (Studer A80 2-inch) with modern digital systems, keeping sessions organized, deadlines on track and artists comfortable in high-pressure environments.
