Josh Bevan and Meris at Snap Studios London

We hooked up with Brighton singer and writer, Josh Bevan and engineer Donal Hodgson at Snap! Studios London to test out the Meris 440 and Ottobit in a live recording situation. Funky Junk brought the Meris Pre’s and expertise while Bevan and keys player Ben Jackson Cook lay down a solid performance of his original song, “Promise”.

Josh’s vocals as well as both the guitar and Rhodes’s amps were miked with DPA d:dicate mics preamped with Meris 440 mic pres. Donal Hodgson (Sting, Duran Duran, Counting Crows, Brand New Heavies, to name but a few) engineered the session. The mix was treated very sparsely to maintain the live feel, quality of the mics/preamps and natural ambience of the studio space at Snap Studios.
