Where to start....what an absolute legend Shaun is. This is our 3rd album and the experience could not have been better. He guided us every step of the way. His sound engineering skills are amazing, but on top of that his ear is top notch. Shaun became the de-facto producer of the recording. We bounced ideas off him constantly. His input cannot be underestimated. Shaun came onsite to do .some live overdubs , which worked perfectly for us. His on-site studio is very well equipped and the friendly family environment is most welcoming.
We can't recommend Witching Hour Audio enough !

What an unbelievable experience working with Shaun . Always upbeat , positive and encouraging . I’d label myself a basic meat and potatoes guitar player , so playing in front of a Melbourne Metal Legend was very daunting indeed .. but I never felt that way in person .. things moved along nice and quick , being a very experienced knob twiddler Shaun kept me fresh and not dwelling on anything … can’t wait to record again 🤘

“Working with Shaun was one of the easiest studio sessions I've done. He's super organised, supportive and absolutely and knows his stuff in all aspects of audio production. I've listened to and admire a lot of Shaun's music from both his musicianship to his technical ability to bring music to life. Highly recommend.”

“Having worked with Shaun for the last 12 years and tracked three full length albums, I can safely say that he is not only technically proficient but musically gifted. He has a great ability to make every session a comfortable and creative experience and has assisted me through many instances of writers block with suggestions that improved the quality of my playing and the albums. Shaun has also assisted me in understanding the recording process and taught me alot about recording guitars and achieving better tones through the use of effects. Couldn’t recommend him enough.

Ginny McNabb
“Whether you have a lot of experience within a studio or none, you’ll have a fantastic time here and be thrilled with the results! Shaun was awesome at calming my nerves and getting the best takes of my vocals possible, and did an incredible job of mixing, even when I was being pretty particular and difficult about what I wanted. We got so much recorded and it was such a wonderful experience, I can’t wait to do it again! Cannot recommend highly enough!”
Ra-Ra
”I hit up Shaun to record session guitars for my upcoming album and he delivered in spades. Though he may specialize in metal, Shaun delivered impeccable guitar tracks for my hard rock/grunge project. His ability to analyze a song, style & mindset while staying true to his own musical voice was exactly what I wanted & needed. Shaun always had one eye on delivering high quality performances, and the other on high production value. He was an absolute pleasure to work with, and I can't wait to work with him again. Thanks Shaun.”
