Going into our recording session with Jack Gauthier at Lakewest Recording Studios we were nervous with anticipation and overwhelmed that we were about to record a cd with a producer who has made an impressive reputation for himself with his work on numerous independent projects. Among the bands Jack has produced we were most inspired by Dispatch. Knowing that such talented musicians had passed through, and how some of our favorite albums had come out of Lakewest definitely put some pressure on us. Yet, the clubhouse vibe of the studio and Jack’s carefree personality alleviated any fears immediately. The idea at Lakewest is to put yourself in the state of mind to create real music, music that you can feel. With a very laid back approach, Jack gives the appropriate guidance without taking over the musicians artistic endeavors. The result is an organic and unprocessed sound that captures real feeling and true musicianship. It is a sound that is distinctively Lakewest.

According to Ben Miller, writer and singer in The Low Anthem, “Jack’s the best person for the job because he won’t take any short cuts. His talents are obvious, but more importantly, he believes in the music he works with and gives every detail the attention it deserves. He has the emotional energy to work with us which says a lot because it can get really hot in the studio. A lot comes out and Jack has the best way of making sure that everybody is comfortable and able to perform without inhibition.”

"I chose to work with Jack on my latest album because I wanted someone professional, experienced, and with a great ear. Jack exceeded my expectations. He gave my songs the rootsy, organic feel that I was pushing for. He's easy to get along with, willing to go the extra mile to ensure that you're happy with the end product, and a lot of fun to work!"

"Jack Gauthier is a confident fellow. He doesn't have that asshole-confidence, but instead exudes that pure type of confidence that one only gains through years of experience behind the boards. He knows his equipment back to front, and as I was told in advance, he goes the extra mile. Not to mention he has a cutting sense of humor that keeps the atmosphere light, yet focused. Thus, I have confidence telling you that Jack will give you what you want in a producer and/or engineer -- someone who really cares, who listens, and who will keep you in stitches. That's my testimony to Jack. Now hopefully he doesn't let it go to his head. We don't want him developing asshole-confidence."
