Producer / Engineer  |  Frank Zappa, Van Morrison, John Lee Hooker

"I've been recording guitars of all styles and colors for over 30 years, and the Waves GTR is the best guitar amplifier emulation plug-in I have found so far - and I've tried them all".


Mick Glossop’s production career began in the 1970s with new wave and punk bands such as Magazine, Public Image Ltd, Penetration, and The Ruts. He also had huge success collaborating with many other artists, including The Waterboys, Furniture, The Wonder Stuff, Frank Zappa, Ian Gillan, John Lee Hooker, and Lloyd Cole. At the beginning of the 1980s, he began an association with Van Morrison that persists to this day. In recent years he has extensively mixed Van’s archive material, as well as live performances from the Montreux Jazz Festival, in 5.1 surround sound, for release on DVD. He is currently working with several singer-songwriters, including Talitha MacKenzie, Rachelle van Zanten, and Naomi Bedford.

Glossop is renowned for his forward-looking attitude to sound production and processing techniques. Since the early 1980’s, he has worked with MIDI programming, digital samplers, and computer-based mixing systems, and in 1994, invested in his first (of many) Digidesign Pro Tools hard disk recording and editing system. These have been major tools in his work over the past 12 years. Although, like many of his contemporaries, his work has traditionally encompassed the analogue domain, he has fully embraced the latest developments in digital technology.
