Interview with Jack Skuller
Q: Analog or digital and why?
A: Analog (with the exception of recording to tape). I've always enjoyed capturing audio sources with as complete of a picture as possible. I love the sound of my recordings passing through wires, circuits, and tubes on the way to the computer.
Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?
A: I got my first record deal when I was 14 years old. Later, I had a several year stint with Disney Records. I've been releasing my own original music ever since. I've also been touring my tribute acts to Simon & Garfunkel and The Everly Brothers for 9 years. I received my bachelors degree in music production at Stevens Institute of Technology, and quickly built my own recording studio. It wasn't long until I was recording tracks for other artists, too!
Q: Can you share one music production tip?
A: Always take a break for lunch!
Q: What type of music do you usually work on?
A: Typically any brand of Americana, blues, country, rockabilly, pop and rock n' roll.
Q: Tell us about your studio setup.
A: I have a small, cavernous studio that's perfect for my needs and my clients. I'm able to capture really tight, controlled sounds that are easy to manipulate in post-production. I have lots of vintage microphones, preamps, compressors, guitars, basses and amplifiers. A sizable portion of that recording gear is broadcasting equipment from the 50s, 60s and 70s.
Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
A: I'm most often singing, either on stage or in my recording studio, or crafting complete demos for songwriters who need to flesh out their songs. I also get hired to play guitar and harmonica for other artists.
