Hi, I'm Marshall, a sound artist combining technical expertise with creative musicianship. From beta testing for Ableton to working with independent artists, I help you create professional audio that connects with your audience.
Marshall Fairbrother is a non-sighted sound artist in Derbyshire who combines professional studio engineering, session musicianship, and accessibility consulting to create inclusive audio experiences for both mainstream and disabled artists.
Learn MoreI provide recording, mixing, and mastering services, as well as session musician work on guitar, bass, and drums. Whether you need a polished final mix, high-quality mastering, or a professional musician for your track, I can help bring your vision to life.
My blindness does not hinder my ability to deliver high-quality audio. I use specialized tools, software, and techniques that allow me to navigate and manipulate sound with precision. For example, I use Voiceover, the mac’s native screen reader. This comes on all apple devices natively. My approach is highly focused on listening rather than relying on visuals, which often results in deeper attention to detail in the music.
I work with Logic Pro and ProTools and use a combination of professional-grade plugins and hardware to achieve top-tier results. My setup is designed for efficiency and accessibility, ensuring a smooth workflow from start to finish. I use Waves Plugins, as well as plugins available in the universal audio spark subscription, and SSL native plugins.
Absolutely! I frequently collaborate with artists and clients remotely. You can send me your tracks, and we can communicate through email, video calls, or phone calls to ensure everything meets your expectations.
Turnaround time depends on the complexity of the project. A mix might take a few days, while mastering can often be completed within 24–48 hours. Session musician work varies based on the arrangement and recording requirements. I will often give people a custom timeline depending on their specific project, and we can communicate through email, phone, video calls, etc. If you would like anything specific such as updates in a consistent timeframe, for example, updates once every day or 2 days, please specify.
