Jason has worked on some of my favorite artist's records so I was happy for him to put his ears on my song. Super communicative and underpromised/over-delivered on the timeline! I'll be sending more over as they come! Thank you Jason!

Interview with Jason Richmond
Q: What type of music do you usually work on?
A: I work on all types of music, but I generally get called for Americana, jazz, and world music projects.
Q: How would you describe your style?
A: Although I have a strong technical background in recording, I'm a musician first and I bring a musical, artistic, and creative approach to what I work on.
Q: What's your strongest skill?
A: The ability to listen closely to a song and find it's direction.
Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: I hope that I bring a fresh approach and unique perspective to any given song, but the main desire is that I find the strength of the artist and the song itself and enhance that in a way that not on captures what the artist is trying to create but surpasses it.
Q: Tell us about your studio setup.
A: I work out of many studios, but do most of my mixing in my home studio. I have a hybrid system running Pro Tools HD and sum through a summing mixer with Apogee Symphony converters. I utilize a variety of outboard gear including Chandler TG2 preamps, Chandler LTD-2 master compressor, Dramastic Obsidian Compressor, Crane Song Ibis EQ, and a variety of other outboard gear. I generally use plugins from Massey, Sound Toys, Waves, Brainworx, and Avid. I monitor through a Crane Song Avocet and Focal Twin monitors.
Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?
A: I'm inspired by all types of music when it is built on great musicianship, brilliant songs, and interesting production. Some people I'm inspired by include; Tchad Blake, Bill Frisell, Bob Dylan, Miles Davis, D'Angelo, Paul Simon, Jacquire King, Quincy Jones, and Brad Mehldau. Just to name a few.
Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
A: Primarily more and more of my work is mixing, although I still do quite a bit of tracking and production work.
