DAVE MILLER - DIRECTOR 

Dave is a professional sound engineer, producer and musician based in Dumfries, Scotland. Dave began his career in 2006 as a live sound engineer, mixing pub and club gigs. Throughout a decade involved in live music production, he has carried out work at a high level both locally, and internationally. During this time, Dave began to record and produce records for those he met along the way, drawn to him for a "live" and "raw" sound. He began recording on-location with a portable rig, hiring cottages and town halls throughout the region. 

Honing his craft as a recording engineer and producer throughout this time, Dave eventually took the plunge and opened a bricks and mortar studio in 2016, in which to base his engineering, production and playing work. From his space at Circa 16 Sound Recording, Dave is still active within live music, and currently produces records and works on a range of content for youth development services across the country.
