Endorse Jak

I hired Jak to compose music for my soon to be released video game Dakka (wishlist on Steam ! lol). He did everything from start to finish. I know nothing about music, only code. It was so nice to be able to simply share my vision and he delivered exactly what I needed.

Jak did an incredible job on my single! Will definitely be asking him to do my whole album!

Interview with Jak

Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: Life. My primary goal, regardless of what role I play in the creation of a song, is to bring it to life and give it a soul.
Q: What's your typical work process?
A: For a typical mix I'll sit down and import all files into my pre-built template and organize them. From there I'll pick a focal track and begin to fade in everything else around that. I'll build out the volume levels and stereo imaging long before touching any EQ plugins.
Q: Tell us about your studio setup.
A: My studio is located in a large refinished 3-bay cinderblock garage. No sound is getting in or out of this monstrosity. Inside is my life's collection of instruments and audio gear. About a dozen guitars/basses, Live and Electronic MIDI Drumkit, and Marshall/Carvin/Fender Amps all run directly to my Audient iD44 and asp800. Depending on the project I do my editing on either a Mac Mini with Logic Pro or my custom built Windows PC with Pro-Tools.
Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?
A: Bob Ludwig - Gateway Mastering Adam Ayan - Ayan Mastering
Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
A: The most common work I do it Mixing & Mastering individual songs and full albums.
