Tom Elmhirst

Bio

Mixing over the last twenty years, Tom Elmhirst has accumulated a long list of chart-topping tracks working with the likes of Adele, Amy Winehouse, Lady Gaga, Frank Ocean, Florence & The Machine, Mark Ronson, U2, Peter Gabriel, Travis Scott, Daniel Caesar, Lil Yachty and many more. The list emphasizes Elmhirst’s position as one of the world’s leading mixers, something also reflected in his 17 Grammy Award wins.

Drawing upon his early experiences at SARM in the UK and his work with Trevor Horn, Elmhirst demonstrates a strong preference for working on a combination of analogue boards and cutting-edge digital technology. After 10 years at Electric Lady Studios in New York, Tom recently set up Studio pH in the Flatiron District of Manhattan where he creates his magic using his Rupert Neve Designs 5060 Centerpiece, an extensive collection of outboard, his favourite ATC SCM50 and Auratone monitors, and of course, the ubiquitous Pro Tools rig. For Elmhirst, working on a Neve has always been central to his approach as a mixer, as have faders and outboard gear, however, he praises the use of Pro Tools, naming the combination of the two as, “marrying the best of the old and the best of the new”.
