Jacknife Sound

Whether it is the brooding, dark intensity of post punk heroes ACTORS or the hazy dream pop of Frankiie, there is no nailing down what kind of sounds will come out of Jacknife Sound from one album to the next. Jason Corbett has been using his experience as a musician, songwriter and producer to capture what is best for every single band he records. From the late night drone of dance floor purveyors Gang Signs to the crystalline pop perfection of Art d’Ecco, Corbett has set the tone for what top quality production sounds like in Vancouver and all around the world. 

With his background of over 20 years of experience as a musician and songwriter to a producer, mixer and mastering engineer, Corbett has sharpened his skills to a razor point and has made Jacknife Sound into one of Canada’s most sought after recording destinations. His skill not only behind the glass but with the artists on a personal level has contributed to the major release of many of the records he works on. 

Albums aren’t the only thing coming out of Jacknife Sound. Corbett has also turned his skill set into a promising career composing music for film and television series, such as Letterkenny, as well as remixes for prominent artists worldwide. From pre production all the way to a gloriously, shiny mastered product there is no better place to get the most out of your creative endeavour than with Jason Corbett at Jacknife Sound. 

 TESTIMONIALS

"I've known Jason for 15 years.  Over that time, I've heard every song he's written/produced in studio and watched him perform every song he's written/produced live.  I will say that he's my pal but I'll speak freely at the risk of stroking.  When Bell Media green-lit my comedy "Letterkenny" for a national television audience, I looked no further than Jason for original score.  He produced the material under uniquely specific (odd) guidelines and delivered it before we circled back.  We'll be circling back down the road as well."

“I've had the opportunity to work with Jason Corbett after the recommendation of a mutual friend. I've since got him involved in all of my projects whether it's music (Ladyfrnd, Gang Signs, HUMANS) or on my feature film Dead Shack. What makes Jason stand out, from some of the other producers and engineers I've worked with in the past, is his acute sense of melody and tone, his ability to play many instruments with ease, his knowledge of many different styles of music throughout the decades, his knowledge on production, mixing and mastering when it comes to either live music or electronic music, and the mixing of both genres together. He's also very charming and funny.”

I've worked with Jason in various capacities from mixing to mastering to producing, and the results have always been stellar. He is a thoughtful, artistic, and professional engineer, and a pleasure to work with. I would recommend Jacknife Sound to any of my business associates.

"Working with Jason was a great experience for our band. His experience in recording studios, both as a musician and a producer, lends to his relaxed confidence and professionalism. We left knowing we had captured some magical moments thanks to his patience and suggestions"

"We're currently working on our sixth album in this studio and I can honestly say it has been one of the best recording experiences we've had by far. Warm, comfortable environment that is proving to be very conducive to creativity and collaboration. Top-shelf."

"Jacknife Sound is the studio Vancouver has needed for years now. It features all the musical references of a studio 30 years older than it, but Jason Corbett never tries to shoehorn you into "his" sound or gloss you over with something suited for the dying-racoon-under-your-porch that is FM terrestrial radio."

"Exceptional quality comes to mind when trying to think of a way to describe Jacknife Sound. Having watched the process in action and been on the critical side as a label manager, I can say that this is THE place to realize your project."
