Michael Jack

************************************************************ *** I am a producer/recording engineer based in Toronto and Central Ontario. I've been in the music biz for over twenty years, initially as a musician, then making the transition to the studio in the late 80's. I owned my own studio back in the late 80's - early 90's and freelanced at several studios around Toronto, York Region and Barrie after that. I've had the fortune of being awarded ten gold/platinum albums...so far. For the past eight years I had been senior engineer at Phase One Studios. I'm presently behind the controls of a new studio at Lenz Entertainment working on several music, film and TV projects. We've put together a fantastic studio based around a full Protools HD system and a SSL AWS-900+ console, Genelec speakers, Universal Audio and Drawmer mic pre's, Universal Audio 2192 converter, Waves "Platinum" and McDSP plug-ins, TC Electronics reverb and a grand piano. I've engineered sessions for The Trews, Bono, Nelly Furtado, Hilary Duff, Rush, "Song For Africa", Big Sugar, Kardinal Offishal, Ludacris, Leahy, Jann Arden, George Canyon, Sass Jordan, Anne Murray, Jesse Cook, Natalie MacMaster, Michelle Wright, Olivia Newton John, Simon Wilcox, Billy Ray Cyrus, Engelbert Humperdinck, Amy Sky, Men With Brooms Soundtrack, Atomic Betty Soundtrack, Canadian Idol, Caroline Neron, Edge City Outlaws, Somerset Entertainment, G.Q., Xquisite, Red Grammer and many more. As a producer I have worked with Peter Murray, The Rails, Bluestone Band, The New Black, The Itch, Lifted, Big Beat Collective, Steve Middleton, Kirk Elliott, Aiti Maa, Pup, In Blue River and others.

I was the mix engineer for that project. The Cd will be released nationally in Canada on April 10th on the Sonic Unyon label and will be released in the U.S. on May 11th. (The previous song on my profile was "Song For Africa" which I recorded & mixed. It peaked at number two - week ending Sept. 7th 06 on the Canadian-Soundscan singles chart....also heard was "Yearning" by the Trews, attaining gold sales status and producing 4 top ten singles) I will be changing my profile song every once in awhile. It'll alway be from a project I worked on.********************************************************* *****For a more complete discography and bio visit my page on the Phase One website.http://www.phaseonestudios.com/PHASE_ONE_WEBSITE/sta ff/michael.htmlor have a look here.http://www.artistdirect.com/nad/music/artist/appears/0, ,1038932,00.html******************************************** ****************** I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4
