Jacquire King

Jacquire King is a record producer, mix engineer, songwriter/musician, and artist manager. Some of the artists he has worked with include Tom Waits, Modest Mouse, Kings of Leon, Mutemath, Cold War Kids, Norah Jones, Tim Finn and Buddy Guy. He is a multiple Grammy Award winner and nominee. Jacquire is a managing partner of Radical Notion (independent media), an artist management/development company.

King utilizes traditional analog techniques and equipment such as tracking to 2" analog tape, and combines that with modern recording technologies like computer-based recording via Pro Tools and software plug-in digital signal processing, using plug-ins that emulate classic outboard Universal Audio and Neve signal processing gear. ^[1]

The upcoming Punch Brothers album "Who's Feeling Young Now?" was recorded in Studio D at Blackbird Studios, Nashville, TN. The recordings were made as live performances with all band members playing in the same room facing each other in a circle. Multitrack editing and overdub recording was used to enhance, correct, and compile certain aspects of each master. Each instrument was also individually run through an effected amplifier in isolation to achieve an additional character sound for sonic embellishment. Contrary to some speculation this album was executed by superlative live ensemble performance with visionary studio production.
