Jason Baker
I'm Jason. I love extended range guitars and snares that slam. I have 20 years experience as a guitarist. I've toured and recorded in metal bands since I was 17 years old. For the last ten years, I have placed my focus on the audio production side of music creation. I've done producing, recording, mixing and mastering. Guitar tones are a passion that will always be close to my heart. I've worked extensively in my studio and on stage with more traditional tube amp and pedal rigs, as well as more modern digital modeling solutions. I love big powerful mixes that hit like a ton bricks. In my time in production, I have had the pleasure of working with talented musicians from all over the US and globally. I've done albums that have gotten bands signed to labels and broadcasted on the airwaves. I love helping people along the path to unlocking their creative potential. I have a long running and deeply engrained passion for music making and the creative process. I'm a problem solver at heart, and I firmly belive that the best way to learn is to dive in head first and do. I can't wait to help you build your dream rig, rather that's a guitar rig, or a full production capable studio. I'm happy to be a resource to you as you take the next steps on your musical journey.
As your personal contact here at Sweetwater, please let me know anytime I can offer help or advice.
