People Say:
'I've worked with Dave on numerous projects over the last 4 years and each time has been a relaxed and enjoyable experience. His professionalism in the studio is accompanied by his friendly and fun approach to recording. Dave has acted as engineer/producer for two of my EP's and on both occasions I felt like my songs were in safe hands. During our time working together he had endless innovative ideas regarding recording and was always accommodating of any request put forward to him. I would highly recommend Dave to anyone searching for an engineer or producer who desires a friendly atmosphere, a cooperative creative partner and a resulting sound that pushes boundaries.'
Helen Croome (aka Gossling)
"We love working with Dave, he has a great temperament, attention to detail and is also a creative musician himself, so any advice is always well measured and has understanding of the overall picture. He pulls greats sounds very naturally and quickly and he does pretty good impersonations of Texans and goldfish."

Dave has engineered and mixed every album I've produced in the 8 Track Shack......I wouldn't have it any other way.

Bio:
Dave Manton has been recording, mixing and performing with bands for over 15 years. He has worked with the likes of Gossling, Luluc, Matt Walker & Ash Davies, Jeff Lang, Broderick Smith, The Down Hills Home, The Hello Morning, Wagons, Jen Cloher and Jaimi Faulkner. Dave has also worked with ABC Radio, JJJ, 774, Radio National and Radio Australia producing live and recorded music for National broadcast.
His Philosophy is that successful music production is the sum of all the parts - good song writing, arrangement, recording and production. Dave endeavors to seek out artist's musical key ingredients and work alongside them to refine their sounds and develop their music to its fullest potential. He believes in creating strong 'visual' sonic and emotive landscapes through experimentation with sounds, textures, arrangements and instrumentation.
