I'm an award-nominated audio engineer with 30+ years of experience in immersive mixing, studio recording, mastering, and live sound. I specialize in Dolby Atmos spatial audio and have delivered immersive mixes for U2's catalogue and new releases, including Days of Ash EP, Easter Lily EP, the 2025 Atmos re-release of How to Build an Atomic Bomb, Achtung Baby, and Songs of Surrender. I run Slipway Audio, a dedicated Dolby Atmos mix studio in Belfast, equipped with SSL and Neve hardware. I use Pro Tools as my core workflow toolset (since 1996) and bring a broad range of credits spanning world-touring with U2 (The Sphere, Las Vegas), an Emmy-nominated streaming production with Bono and Dave Letterman, and broadcast appearances including The Grammys, The Oscars, Saturday Night Live, Coachella, Glastonbury, and Jimmy Fallon. I’m also excited by how AI-driven audio tools are evolving and I’m well placed to evaluate immersive and stereo outputs alike, always aiming for balance, clarity, and spatial depth in every project.…
