Rafe McKenna
Sound mixing engineer in Beaufort, France
Rafe started his career in the music business in the summer of 1975 when he joined
De Lane Lea / C.T.S studios at the age of 17 years old as a trainee tape operator and
Assistant. He worked for the next few years learning all about different aspects of
recording and microphone technique from orchestras to four piece bands.
In 1977 he started engineering bands who came in to do demos and by 1978 was a
fully fledged engineer.
In 1980 Rafe moved to Marcus recording studios as one of the chief engineers until
1982 when he became freelance.
From 1982 worked at almost all of the major London studios and residential locations and
worked extensively in New York,Los Angeles,San Francisco and Memphis.
Also worked extensively in Holland,Germany,Denmark,Portugal,Spain and France.
I now mainly work from my own mix suite.
