If music was the language of politics, what kind of world would we live in now,
simply a peaceful coexisting world of light and love! - Phat Monkey 2019
Hello and welcome to my humble Phat Monkey
homepage hailing from Wales in the United
Kingdom. I dabble with music production,
mixing, basic mastering, a sprinkle of ghost
writing and other boomage as well as being a
photo editor. In the distant past I have been
involved on the Dj side of things and had a slight
resurrection a couple of years ago when I
released the chart topping annual mix series ‘Ibiza Beach Bar Grooves’ which was made available via
Beatport, volume one reached chart position 8 followed by volume 2 at chart position 4!!
Unfortunately as of December 2017 Beatport no longer support DJ mixes. I recently in 2019 created a
profile called V.C.A for ‘VoiceAttack’ which allows users to use spoken words boasting over 321
commands for Cubase by Steinberg speeding user work-flow by up to 20% or more. Cubase is a
professional digital audio workstation by Steinberg allowing users to create awesome music, go check
Cubase out today!
If you have any questions feel free to ask me, I am nobody special, just a normal humble approachable laid
back guy on a journey through life same as you. All that is left for me to say now is peace love and respect,
may your journey lead you to your chosen destination xXx
WELCOME
V.C.A
AVAILABLE NOW, ONLY $8USD!
I am pleased to announce V.C.A (Voice Command Assistant)
profile for ‘VoiceAttack’ to use alongside ‘Cubase’ by
Steinberg is now available to buy. Steinberg were kind
enough to allow me to give reference to Cubase in the
description and the awesome developer of ‘VoiceAttack’
has given the green light. I have spent countless hours
programming in and testing over 321 commands, yes I
went crazy over the top, I just kept adding but at some
point I had to stop. To purchase simply click the shopping
cart above to be taken to my DLG store, all sales are
handled by PayPal. You can download the PDF manual for
a full list of available spoken commands or watch the brief
overview video on this page.
There is nothing worse while starting out trying to remember all the keyboard short-cuts for your DAW that may interfere with your creativity and
that feeling of being totally lost. V.C.A can help with all that but on the other hand it is very important to learn keyboard short-cuts in your own time
simply because not all studios will be using V.C.A and knowing short-cuts will help you look professional in front of your friends and clients.
Many years ago I had to use another studio to produce my music as I could not afford the equipment involved, I remember the studio was owned by
a wheelchair bound music engineer John, he suffered with a muscle wasting disease and thinking back something like V.C.A would have been perfect
for him and I am sure right now as I type this short story there is someone in a similar situation, I really do hope V.C.A can help and assist you in the
studio no matter your circumstance, everyone deserves to make music…
06/04/2019) News on the music front, Phat Monkey announces new moniker under the name
‘AWYR’ which is a Celtic Welsh word for ‘ Air or SKY’.
04/03/2019) Today was the secret soft launch of V.C.A for Cubase which means V.C.A is now
available to purchase on my dedicated V.C.A page! I am calling this a soft launch because I have
not created any ads and a new demonstration video is in the works. But for those that cant wait
a few weeks you can download the manual for V.C.A today which gives an extensive list of
spoken commands you can use in Cubase, in fact over 321 spoken commands!
24/02/2019) Unfortunately yesterday I had to lay my mother to rest, the last few weeks has been
difficult for me and many projects were placed on the back foot, but I am back now. The V.C.A
page has been updated with the latest information and I plan to have everything ready Mid/End
of March 2019, thank you for your patience.
05/09/2018) ‘Late Night Techno Sessions’ is a brand new live mix from master Phat Monkey

Ryan Anthony Welcomes You To His Studio £60
WORKSHOP
Do you want your DJ mix to stand out and sound consistent?
Then this is the service for you, I was a DJ for many years starting in 1998 and being a music
engineer with his own home studio gives me countless tools at my disposal to master your mix.
Why Master A Dj Mix?
Imagine the scenario, you are DJing live (or not) and your volume is bouncing all over the place,
in fact listen to your mix first few songs then skip to the last few songs and I can guarantee a
noticeable volume change. Most people may be tempted to reach for the normalise option but
this can mess with the dynamics, my approach is to dynamically compress the mix getting them
volumes under control. Sometimes songs that feature in a DJ mix can sound lacklustre and weak
compared to the original track, this is usually because of extra processing during the mix session,
I can warm things up by gently adding harmonic distortion to the mix warming the mix back up!

DJ MIX MASTERING
I have over 12 years experience in editing photos professionally, I have edited several celebrities
over the years. I am now offering my skills to you and if you are serious about your music then
this is something your should consider.
Photo Editing?
At some point you will have to create a portfolio, you will need amazing photos both for your
portfolio and your online presence such as a website or social media page. Unfortunately no
camera takes the perfect photo no matter how much it costs, all photos need editing, it is a
question of how much do you want to invest in yourself and your brand. I can take your photo to
the next level providing you send me a good quality photo which is very important.
