Tim Whitten Explained

Tim Whitten is an Australian record producer, audio engineer, and mixer. He has worked with numerous successful Australian musicians, in a career spanning 1990 - present.

Career

Whitten's first recording was Boxcar's Vertigo, where he joined Adrian Bolland as engineer.[1] Whitten has produced records for prominent Australian artists, including Powderfinger,[2] The Go-Betweens, Hoodoo Gurus, and Augie March.[3]

In 2004 he produced an EP for Signal Room,[4] and he worked on an album by Gaslight Radio.[5]

Unlike most producers, who work in a studio, most of Whitten's recording is done at his home, with artists visiting him to collaborate on works. However, he has recorded in studios on some albums.[6] He says that his role as a producer is "make a song "work"", even if this requires unorthodox techniques to achieve results.[7]

Accolades

Whitten's work as a producer has been praised by several artists. After working with theredsunband on their EP Like An Arrow, Whitten was praised for producing the new sound of the EP.[8] Scattered Order also praised Whitten's work,[9] while Powderfinger's Bernard Fanning described Whitten as better value for money than other producers, resulting in the band choosing him for Double Allergic.
