Jack Thompson on SoundBetter

I am an up and coming mixing/mastering engineer looking to expand my horizons.

I am a mixing/audio engineer from the Brighton area in the UK. I have years of experience in multiple DAWs including Logic, Ableton and Pro Tools.

I specialise in modern metal and also have a lot of experience with recording rock bands in the local area. I have a massive list of audio software and plugins available for me to use on your unmixed tracks. I will get you the modern sound you hear in many modern metal records.

I will work closely with you and take onboard any feedback you provide until you get the perfect sound for release!

Interview with Jack Thompson

Q: Analog or digital and why?
A: I love the workflow of analog and try to emulate it when working in the box. For more fine tuning, I prefer digital because of its transparency and accuracy.
Q: What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?
A: Communicate how you feel about a rough mix, even if you feel like it's a harsh thing to say. If you don't tell me what you dislike then you won't be happy when it comes to release.
Q: If you were on a desert island and could take just 5 pieces of gear, what would they be?
A: My laptop, headphones, guitar and interface. It's all I really need!
Q: Which artist would you like to work with and why?
A: I would love to work with Periphery, Muse, or Northlane.
Q: Can you share one music production tip?
A: Check the phase!!!
Q: What type of music do you usually work on?
A: Rock and Metal are my favourite genres to work on.
Q: What's your strongest skill?
A: My strongest skill is doing whatever it takes to get a mediocre recording to sound good. I have worked on some less-than-stellar recordings before from when I was a beginner so I know how to enhance them and get them to a good standard.
Q: What's your typical work process?
A: I usually put all of my faders down, bring the most important part of the mix up and then set my levels based on that. After that I will do basic EQ and compression and then do the more complex processing and sends.
Q: Tell us about your studio setup.
A: I work entirely in the box, but I occasionally get to try some analog gear.
Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?
A: Adam 'Nolly' Getgood is a big influence on my drum processing techniques and, for me, set the gold standard for real drum sounds in the modern rock and metal space.
Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
A: I mainly mix and master clients' songs to ensure they are sounding as good as they can, ready for release
