Welcome to the home of audio engineer Chris Daniels of Calgary, Canada

On this site you will find a brief biography of my 30 years experience in the Canadian Music Industry, as well as a list of the services I offer.

You will also eventually find an extensive practical guide on the use of Oktava Microphones. I apply both my initial training in classic mic technique as well as my years of experience to a variety of microphone situations that could be beneficial both to rookies and professionals. Each section will include a bit of a review of the microphones as well as PRACTICAL applications and tips. Although specifically about Oktava mics the information is useful for any similar microphones. As president of The Audio Lab Ltd, the exclusive Canadian distributor/re-seller for Oktava USA, I have fairly extensive experience with most of the mics, and am gaining experience in the new ones daily.

You'll also find a number of links to The Audio Lab, Oktava USA, Oktava-online, and a number of other people and places you might find interesting.

The Site is currently under construction but will be continually being worked on and updated so please bear with me and come on back.
