It’s possible that you haven’t even heard of Recording Engineer Jake Jackson; but you’d have to be living under a rock if you hadn’t heard of the projects he’s worked on. A 12-year veteran of North London’s Sir George Martin-founded AIR Studios, Jackson began his career as a runner. In time he progressed to become the score recording and mix engineer on quite literally hundreds of film and television projects – projects such as 127 Hours, About a Boy, Sweeney Todd and the modern Dr Who, to name but a few. With clients such as Danny Elfman, Hans Zimmer, Howard Shore and John Williams on his CV, it is unsurprising the industry took notice.

After going freelance in 2010, Jackson received the UK’s prestigious MPG (Music Producers Guild) Breakthrough Recording Engineer Award earlier this year. Since Genelec were sponsors of this award, Jackson additionally received a pair of 8240A Bi-Amplified DSP Monitor Speakers, and the GLM™ software calibration system with AutoCal™ (to calibrate his monitors in-situ) – all courtesy of Genelec.

At the same time, the deeper capabilities of Max let Oli fine-tune Kasio-M4L. “Max allows you to go very deep if you want to,” he says. “Being able to use my own C++ externals [low-level code within Max/MSP] for aspects of the synth is one thing that really appeals to me.”
