Studio & Gear

A real studio matters. Here's the signal chain — from mic to monitor — Jon uses to mix hit records.

Console & Summing

Rupert Neve Designs 5088 — 32-channel discrete analog console. Mixes sum through this for analog glue, width, and depth.
Shelford Channel strips — for critical vocal and bass bus processing.

Reverb & Time

Bricasti M7 — reference reverb for lush, natural tails.
Lexicon 480L — when the record wants that 80s/90s hit sound.
Eventide H3000 — vocal doubling, pitch, chorusing.

Microphones

Neumann U47 — main vocal chain. Matched pair available.
Neumann U67, AKG C12, Sony C800G — on-call for vocal color.
Shure SM7B, Royer R-121 — instrument and amp work.

Monitoring

ATC SCM45A — main reference.
Yamaha NS-10M with subwoofer — the midrange truth-teller.
7.1.4 Dolby Atmos setup — Genelec overheads, ATC fronts, matched subwoofers.

Digital

Avid Pro Tools | Ultimate + Avid MTRX conversion.
UAD Apollo X16 + Satellite stacks — real-time plugin processing.
Plugins: FabFilter, Waves, Soundtoys, Plugin Alliance, Valhalla, and you know which secret sauce ones.

Remote collaboration

Source-Connect Pro — real-time tracking sessions with artists anywhere.
Audiomovers Listento — high-fidelity monitoring during mix approvals.
