The gap between digital theory
and physical reality.
We solve the problems that software manuals don’t mention and AI cannot see.
Modern music production is a war between legacy hardware, bleeding-edge software, and physical cabling. When these systems clash, they create “Silent Errors”—problems where the computer reports everything is fine, but the audio is broken. We don’t just troubleshoot DAWs. We act as the interpreter between your creative vision and the chaotic reality of studio engineering.
The Invisible Infrastructure
Your DAW meters are moving, but your speakers are silent. Or your interface works in Spotify but dies in Cubase.
We trace the invisible signal path through the “Middle-Man” layers—UAD Console, RME TotalMix, CoreAudio, and ASIO. We find the hidden “Mute” buttons that don’t exist in the manual.
The Physical Layer
Random disconnects, digital crackle, or hum. An Operating System cannot see a broken cable. It assumes every connection is perfect.
We bring forensic diagnostic tools to identify “Physical Layer Ambiguity”—where a £10 cable is strangling a £6,000 Mac Studio.
The Digital Time Machine
You bought a new computer, and now your old projects won’t open. “Migration Assistant” often corrupts studio setups.
We surgically restore legacy projects, resurrect “Missing Files,” and bridge the gap between 1990s formats and 2020s processors.
Creative Translation
The system is stable, but the result sounds “thin,” “fuzzy,” or “wrong.” Sometimes the error isn’t in the code; it’s in the gain staging.
We analyze your signal chain not just as technicians, but as producers. We fix the aesthetic issues that computers can’t measure.
Beyond Troubleshooting:
Digital Archaeology.
For problems that defy categorization. We have recovered data from 1985 Atari ST floppy disks, repaired liquid-damaged synthesizers from the 90s, and built custom MIDI scripts for hardware that hasn’t been manufactured in decades.
If the internet says it’s impossible, ask us first.
“Paul has a wealth of knowledge… he found the problem which was hidden deep within my system.”
System Expertise
I don’t just “know computers.” I understand the entire signal chain, from the voltage in your pre-amp to the buffer size in your DAW.
