Sound Engineer

Michael Whight with James Dickenson and Nick Stringfellow of the Villiers String Quartet
" Naxos’s sound, engineered by Michael Whight, is beautifully balanced and the best these works have enjoyed."
Gramophone Magazine

I am a music producer with experience of recording a variety of different ensemble and solo projects. I have the specialist equipment and know-how to deliver professional quality recordings, as well as the expertise to encourage artists to give their best performance.  I usually work as a 'one man band' either on location or in a recording studio to provide a turnkey service but also work happily as a member of a bigger team. 

My unique strengths as a producer come largely from my experience as a classical clarinettist, having held principal positions with the Philharmonia Orchestra, Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and the Royal Northern Sinfonia.  I have performed on hundreds of recordings and have spent many hours in recording studios, alongside  world-leading recording teams and musicians, listening to and analysing performances in order to create the best recording possible.  This experience has enabled a deep and thorough understanding of what is needed to create a great recording and has given me the knowledge to do what is required on the 'other side' of the microphone. 
​
My equipment allows recordings from solo instrument right up to full orchestra. 
​
If you have an idea for a project that you would like to discuss, big or small, or any questions, then please contact me via the contacts page or by phone. I am always happy to give advice.
