Bio
Alex Davison
I've worked with Nathan in a church setting - he's always been invisible when things are going well, quick to sort out problems when they arise, courteous and cheerful. And the sound has always been good!
Dalene De Bruyn Joubert
Among everyone to whom I've sent audio for processing in the past 5 years, Nathan has done the best job as far as the improvement of problematic audio is concerned. He has discernment not to over-cook the mix when processing raw recordings, but shows the ability to easily find that "sweet spot" when rounding off audio content. He has a good and sober understanding of international industry standards for audio and doesn't cut corners as far as the archivable and re-processable quality of raw or reworked audio is concerned. Nathan understands the nature of audio! He is furthermore a good program and project manager. He has a way with people. His word carries authority because it is based on good foundational and expert knowledge of the field. He doesn't need to try and impress anyone; his sober knowledge of audio does it for him. He has the ability to take people with him and to empower those he leads. Nathan is a person of influence and therefore a true leader. And the leading he's able to do by example and in a quiet and non-paternalistic way. Priviledge to know you, Nathan.
