Nik recorded and produced this fantastic dynamic recording of Gabby's song over several sessions. This utilised a complete pre-production, recording and mixing process that is essential when working with a solo artist. He used college-based musicians to perform alongside Gabby's main takes, including himself on drums. As well as a range of well-chosen recording techniques, Nik mixed the song in the analogue domain, using the Audient 4816 console and outboard equipment. This classic studio approach places Gabby's performance and song front and centre.
