Testimonials
Mattie quickly understood what I was after, and made it happen. He co-produced, engineered, mixed – and much more. Patient, helpful, calm, full of ideas when they were needed, and nothing was too much trouble. I’ll never forget my time at Heriot Toun, a great place to be. - Scott Murray
the best mics, an amazing set of ears and expertise, and so homely you can record in your slippers. A special place to create, with someone at the helm who really cares - Lauren MacColl
Think 'recording studio' and images of wee dark basement holes come to mind. Not so with Mattie's studio - it has inspiring views with lots of lovely light pouring in, fabulous equipment, peace and tranquility, comfy chairs and of course Mattie and his amazing ears presiding over everything - I miss my time there - it was very relaxing, despite the pressure of making an album - highly recommended - Gillie MacKenzie
"lovely place to make music... we made a beautiful, special, recording there with a great sound...
.....unfortunately mattie took alot of drugs and accidentally deleted the whole weeks recording while he was watching porn....in fact we lost a lot of takes because he was watching porn and forgot to press record" - Tom Bancroft
"Mattie produced my first solo album and he took my music up to a level I never had dreamed of. He's the great combination between a organized man and a creative and inspiring one at the same time." - Annlaug Børsheim
“I recorded ‘Songs Lost & Stolen’ with Mattie at Mobile With a Home. The set up is perfect, chilled out and relaxed, but with everything you could possibly need, and an understanding of time restraints for any artist on a tight budget! Heriot Toun is an incredibly beautiful and inspiring place to be based when you’re working. And most importantly, Mattie, with his musician background, understands your ideas and knows how to get exactly the sound you’re looking for. Everything conspires to get you in the best mindset to make the record you want. Mattie also produced my record, and played drums and percussion. He took my songs and my ideas and made them ten times better. For the sake of anyone’s music, I’d recommend they spend time at Mobile With A Home with Mattie.” – Bella Hardy

“One of my favourite Harp sounds” - Corrina Hewat
“Mattie is a fantastic producer, engineer, and musician. Not many folk offer such a comprehensive service to the artist. His approach is positive and professional and he works with a great team of musicians. Heriot is also a delight to record in – intimate with beautiful views overlooking the Borders’ hills. I thoroughly enjoyed my ‘MWAH’ experience!” – David Ferrard
