Adrian Hall

About Me

MIX ENGINEER | PRODUCER | RECORDING ENGINEER

Adrian Hall is a Grammy-nominated mix engineer, music producer and recording engineer with over 8 billion streaming credits to his name. He has a wealth of experience working on all kinds of projects with artists at all levels of the industry, from worldwide household names to up-and-coming unsigned bands. Equally at home tracking a live band with a studio full of musicians or being left to mix tracks on his own, Adrian is both a technically adept and creative engineer.

As a house engineer at Metropolis Studios from 1997 until 2004, Adrian has been a valuable member of the production team on many high-profile releases and coped with many demanding sessions. In addition, he has worked on a number of independent releases, producing the band involved, as well as handling tracking and mixing duties.

Since going freelance in 2004, Adrian has been a much in-demand mixing engineer and producer. Comfortable working in a traditional large-console analog studio or working from his garden studio located in London, UK, Adrian offers online remote mixing or attended recording and mix sessions. His studio is equipped with Pro Tools HDX and a large selection of outboard gear. Adrian has worked on a wide range of genres throughout his career, meaning he can turn his hand to a broad spectrum of projects.

Adrian has worked with artists ranging from big names like Tori Amos (including a Grammy-nomination), Depeche Mode, Goldfrapp, The Black Eyed Peas, Alicia Keys, Robbie Williams, Shakira and Robyn to more independent artists like Nova Twins, Anna Calvi, Big Deal, Young Knives, and Amber Run. Most recently, projects that Adrian has been involved with include mixing the new “In Times Of Dragons” album (in both the original stereo and Atmos versions) from the legendary Tori Amos, mixing Nakhane’s acclaimed album “You Will Not Die” for Sony BMG, Bess Atwell‘s album “Already Always” , an EP from Naomi Banks and several albums from AA Williams, for Bella Union.

Adrian has mixed major live releases in both 5.1 and stereo for Depeche Mode, Simply Red, Robbie Williams, Shakira and Youssou N’Dour. He was also the mixing engineer for the incredible Philadelphia leg of the Live8 concert, which had an audience of over one million people. The DVD features performances from legendary artists such as Stevie Wonder, Destiny’s Child, Bon Jovi, Maroon 5, Linkin Park, Keith Urban, Dave Matthews Band and more. Adrian’s studio is now equipped with a full 7.1.4 Dolby Atmos speaker system, for those projects that require Atmos delivery.

Adrian is represented by Zita and Alex at Z Management.

SOME LABELS I’VE WORKED WITH

What my clients say about working with me…

“I have worked with Adrian frequently over the last 25 years. He is a consummate professional with impeccable taste. He brings quality to everything he does but in addition, he has an understanding of producers and artists which makes a session run smoothly and successfully. I recommend Adrian highly for all production, mixing and recording scenarios.”

Andy Wright, producer - Simply Red, Jeff Beck, Simple Minds

“Since I began working with Adrian he has been nothing but a joy; not only as an easy-going person, but also as a brilliant mixing engineer. His touch is detailed and sensitive, and his expertise will elevate your music. You will hear what you’ve been working on for years with fresh ears.”

Nakhane, artist - Sony Records

“We worked with Adrian on our first EP. He was really supportive at an early stage in our journey, we had fun exploring outside the box and he was always up for leaning into creating something new and unique.”

Nova Twins, artist - Marshall Records

“Adrian has completed several mix projects for me and always delivers brilliant results, beautiful mixes with great care taken over every instrument and perfectly placed vocals. A master of the craft.”

Greg Haver, producer - Manic Street Preachers, Melanie C

“Adrian has worked on a number of projects for the artists I represent. One thing that really stands out is how he gets so close to the definitive mix on a first pass. He really listens to what’s required, and then very sympathetically delivers a mix that’s spot on but with a degree of creativity sprinkled on top to take it into an even better realm.”

Jonathan Morley, manager - Amber Run, Bess Atwell, Tina Dico

“Adrian is a brilliant producer/engineer. Our band Love X Stereo had the privilege to work with him many times. We were quite hopeless because we couldn’t find a person who can actualise our sound here in Seoul. But luckily, we get to work with him, and our initial thoughts were, ‘wow, we were not wrong’, because we could hear our vision being fulfilled in real time, and it was such an amazing experience. Recently, he’s done our Dolby Atmos mix/master which got picked up by K-Pop: Dolby Atmos playlist via Tidal. He is a master of his craft, super fast, almost like a mindreader.”

Love X Stereo, independent artist

“Adrian is an excellent mixer, considerate to the artists desires and approaches each project with an enthusiasm and nuance to achieve wonderful results. Looking forward to working with him again!”

Tim Dellow, label owner - Transgressive Records

“Adrian did an incredible job at mixing my latest record and was an absolute pleasure to work with! I’ve never worked with a mixer who has made such a difference to the quality of my recordings before – it was magical!! Adrian has an excellent ear for what a song needs and went above and beyond to achieve this, adding textural and percussive elements that elevated the tracks even more. Not only this, but he’s been extremely generous with his time and energy when I’ve emailed him for advice etc. He’s my go-to guy and I couldn’t recommend anyone more!”

Bess Atwell, artist - Real Kind Records

“I have worked with Adrian on multiple records and have been repeatedly blown away by his going above and beyond in the pursuit of sonic perfection and artist satisfaction. He is incredibly professional whilst being totally approachable, patient and kind. He is an absolute pleasure to work with and I can safely say the records I’ve made are all the better for his involvement in them.”

Alice Costelloe, artist - Big Deal | Mute Records
