your audio and DAW skills

Eugene regularly monitors musicians forums and as part of this website would like to start offering tutorials to assist you in developing your skillset as a musician. The tutorials will concentrate on best practice in getting the optimum usage and sound quality out of your system.

Eugene has noticed that a number of tutorials on other platforms go into too much detail and end up losing the user. Therefore, Eugene's aim is to get you up and running as quickly as possible with the least amount of pain.

The Manchester Punk scene was a big part of my life. Originally I studied art at Manchester Polytechnic and worked part time at a garage with Vini Reilly of the Durutti Column who was one of the first artists signed to Factory Records.

I later went on to work with Ian Curtis of Joy Division and introduced him to Vini. A normal weekend for me was stood shoulder to shoulder at various Manchester venues with the likes of Tony Wilson, John Cooper Clarke, The Buzzcocks and The Fall. If you’d like to read a bit more about the scene, I can recommend the book “Torn Apart” by Mick Middles in which I get a mention.
