Robin Freeman

Robin Freeman has been in the music business for over 40 years. He is a recording engineer, producer and musician, with a long track record. He started in the early seventies at TPA (Tin Pan Alley) Studios in Denmark Street, London, as maintenance engineer and after a while became a balance engineer. He was pretty much self-taught and instead of following the traditional path of tape-op and tea-boy was thrown in at the deep end and learned by trial and error. In 1975 Robin became chief engineer at Relight Studios which was one of the first 24-track facilities in the Netherlands. He has recorded and mixed numerous gold and platinum albums and produced a few too. Nowadays Robin has his own mixing and mastering room where he works on various projects. He is a regular lecturer at Abbey Road Institute Amsterdam, teaching the history of production.
