Gareth Jones

Gareth Jones is a British producer, mixer and noise maker. Educated at Prince Henry’s High School, Evesham and Trinity College, Cambridge (with an IBM Bursary) and trained at the BBC, he began working at Pathway Studios in the late seventies, where he recorded and mixed John Foxx's Metamatic album in 1980 and the first Madness single, 'The Prince', in 1979. He also helped to build The Garden studio in Shoreditch for John Foxx and worked with Tuxedomoon and Depeche Mode there.

"Shortly afterwards I moved to Berlin and worked at the famous Hansa studio, where I continued experimenting with recording atmospheres and creating my own sound, making the 'Berlin Trilogy' with Depeche Mode. I was a pioneer in the use of digital equipment (including the then new sampling technology), combined with analogue recording techniques and synthesizers. I worked with many other bands in Berlin including Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, Fad Gadget, Diamanda Galas, Einstürzende Neubauten, Wire, Nena and Rainbirds. I also recorded and mixed two film soundtracks for Wim Wenders. In the early nineties I moved back to London to a production room at Strongroom Studio, where I was for 10 years, and am now again since 2013."

More recently Gareth has mixed for David’s Lyre, Efterklang, The Futureheads, Grizzly Bear, IndoChine, Interpol, Josh T. Pearson, Liars, Merchandise. Mogwai, Sons and Daughters, Yann Tiersen and Young Dreams. He also remixed for Can, Erasure, Goldfrapp, MGMT, Neu, Orbital, Pizzicato 5, Plastikman, SCUM and To Rococo Rot.
Produced (often including mixing) Clinic, Emmy the Great, Erasure, Polly Scattergood, These New Puritans and We Have Band.

Gareth is a Logic Pro guru, modular synth geek, Ableton Live enthusiast, keen and active MPG member and a JAMES assessor. He has lectured at Madrid Red Bull Music Academy and has given many interviews and seminars. His 'Tech Talks' are available at www.youtube.com/user/geniusJonesTechTalks

Gareth Jones and FabFilter

"I think I knew about FabFilter since FabFilter One, your early software synth. Nowadays I have become a fan of the mixing plugins, initially Timeless 1 and Volcano 1 and moving on to version 2, later FabFilter Saturn. Now I am exploring the FabFilter Pro-L limiter, Pro-MB and Pro-C dynamics plug-ins and Pro-Q 2. All great stuff - part of my life in the box since the beginning!"
