This was the session that started it all. Using the Rupert Neve Designs RMP-D8's Class A Preamps with mastering-grade converters.
At the heart of every Mercenary Magnetics recording session sits 32 channels of Rupert Neve Designs RMP-D8 Class A preamps — the same legendary Neve sound that has shaped decades of hit records, now in a portable, Dante-networked package.
These aren't just preamps — they're instruments. With mastering-grade converters built in, the RMP-D8s deliver the full warmth, depth, and clarity that Rupert Neve is known for. Whether we're recording in a cabin in the Hill Country, a living room in Austin, or a live stage anywhere in the world, we bring world-class sound to you.
Combined with our professional microphone collection, headphone system, and Dante networking, Mercenary Magnetics delivers a complete mobile recording rig that rivals any fixed studio — at your location, on your terms.
Mercenary Magnetics is a mobile recording service built around one idea: artists make their best work in the spaces where they feel most comfortable. Whether that's your home studio, rehearsal room, living room, or a venue stage — we bring world-class recording gear and decades of experience directly to you.
With our Rupert Neve Designs RMP-D8 preamps, professional microphone collection, and Dante-networked rig, we deliver the same sonic quality as a top-tier studio — anywhere you want to record. No travel to someone else's room. No unfamiliar gear. Just your space, your vibe, and our expertise behind the glass.
With over 30 years of experience in professional audio, I've had the privilege of working with some of the industry's most respected artists—from Grammy-nominated songwriters to multi-platinum acts. My journey spans from analog tape machines to cutting-edge digital workflows, and I've applied every lesson learned to the Mercenary Magnetics facility. As a longtime member of the Recording Academy, I understand what it takes to deliver award-worthy recordings. At the core of what we do is a simple commitment: your music deserves the best.
