Welcome! I'm happy that you have landed here.
The chance is that you're looking here because you have already heard some of my work.
If you came here by accident, my marketing talk wouldn't change anything.
During the times when there's no work, I spend time with my family, I love traveling, taking photos, cycling, so there's always something for me to do outside of the mixing world.

I have worked with Jacek and have found him to be patient, totally competent and a pleasure to be with. As a sound engineEAR I can confirm that he has not one, but two, very good ears.
Highly recommended.

Jack is an amazing mix engineer. He's patient and thorough and has great ears. He understands all there is to know about both vintage analogue and the latest digital gear. And he's a lovely guy to boot!
We (Fruhstuck from Poland/The Netherlands) are finishing up our 3rd (!) full length CD with Jacek. I've been in the studio with Jacek many hours, he's a pleasure to work with. Patient and wise in his ways with the musicians. A good musical ear, and great knowledge of gear, analog as well as digital. A lot of fun after work and great food!
The Hookline Shakers are a two piece rock band from Christchurch New Zealand.
When our album tracking was finished we sent the first track to several potential mix engineers all over the world. Jacks mix was by far the best and we hired him to do the full album.
Jack is a pleasure to work with and his mixing is just fantastic.
Highly recommend!!
Interview with 5dB Ride / mixattic / Jack
Q: Tell us about a project you worked on you are especially proud of and why. What was your role?

Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: Another set of ears with a different view that is likely to bring some good quality to the overall result.
Q: What's your typical work process?
A: I bring the files into a Reaper session, I start mixing, after an hour or two I have something that I can present for feedback and I do a few rounds of feedback / mix revisions over the course of few days to satisfy the needs of the artists and producers.
Q: Which artist would you like to work with and why?
A: The most amazing ones.
Q: What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?

Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?
A: I started from playing drums. I recorded myself to cassette tape using a couple of mics. In 2001 I started doing live sound mixing for bands and it slowly shifted towards recording studio.

Q: If you were on a desert island and could take just 5 pieces of gear, what would they be?
