Production

Artec's Chief engineer, Pal Sheldon has been working as a producer engineer since he was a young lad. Back then he recorded Mark of Cain's first 2 records.. yes... records, and can remember the Greasy Pop days in Adelaide.

Pal's experience in the studio runs from live band recordings to simple voice overs for advertising and everything in between. Recent productions include Dave Calandra's "Blood and Water" CD, music tracks for Mitsubishi and retail clothing giant Millers.
