Stereosonic is led by Robert Kelly, a sound engineer with over 15 years of experience in music and podcast production. Originally a drummer in a local band, the journey into audio began out of necessity: someone had to figure out how to record and mix the tracks! That someone quickly became the go-to engineer, and the rest followed naturally.
Since then, he has worked on projects that have been broadcast on radio, streamed on Spotify and YouTube, and heard across hundreds of podcast episodes. The real reward, though, lies in helping artists and creators bring their work to life and seeing each project come to fruition. Stereosonic has worked on projects from rock to brass bands, and from string quartets to podcasts.
Detail-oriented but always relaxed and efficient, he focuses on understanding each client’s vision and crafting a practical, creative plan to achieve it. He’s just as comfortable offering technical support as he is giving creative input when needed.
His approach to music is about capturing a moment in time, where the musicians are emotionally and sonically on the day of recording. For podcasting, it’s about delivering the message with clarity and impact.
With a particular passion for drum recording, he works with mics from AKG, Sennheiser, Shure and others, and counts room sound as the most important element of a great drum take. Favourite tools include the REAPER DAW, and mics like the AKG 414 and Neumann U87. Sessions take place in top facilities like Camelot Studios and Slane Studios, or on location using a dedicated mobile setup—a key feature that sets Stereosonic apart.
