News Summary

• Kurt Martinez has been nominated for the prestigious Music Producers Guild award as Atmos Engineer of the Year.
• The award-nominated Atmos expert designed and built his own backyard office and filled it with enviable gear.
• He's worked on live and recorded music by a host of stars including Kylie Minogue, Def Leppard, Soft Play, Billy Idol and Duran Duran.
• I used to have a very similar-looking setup for my own home studio, but sadly I didn't have Martinez's high-end gear or even more importantly, Martinez's ears.
