My Conversation with Dom Morley

Send us a text


Dom Morley is a Grammy-award winning British engineer, producer,
and mixer who has worked with artists such as Amy Winehouse,
Adele, Sting, Nick Cave, and many others. He has worked as a
staff engineer in several top studios in London and now has his
own studio in Oxfordshire. Educating aspiring engineers and
producers is important to Dom, and he is in demand as a teacher
and lecturer. He often conducts workshops at the NAMM Show.


An educational service he offers is the Mix Consultancy, where
anyone can submit their mix for Dom’s personal evaluation and
suggestions. https://www.themixconsultancy.com/


I recently spoke with Dom about his early influences, breaking
into the business, working with artists and producers, and
helping those coming up with solid advice on developing their
craft.


For this conversation, Dom was using a vintage RCA 77 microphone
into a Wunder Audio PA-Four mic preamp and D.W. Fearn VT-7
Compressor.


I am using my usual AEA R44 mic into a D.W. Fearn VT-2 mic
preamp. Both mics were sent through individual D.W. Fearn VT-4
Equalizers, and the mix goes through a  VT-7 Compressor. The
conversation was via Skype, so there is an occasional delay of my
voice audible in Dom’s mic when we overlap. The recording is 24
bit, 96kHz PCM digital before the podcast conversion to MP3.
