Studio Production

As a producer and studio engineer, Jon Chinn has worked with some of the most influential and groundbreaking artists to emerge from the midwest in recent years. While co-owner of Workbook Studio (2000-2007), Jon worked closely with hundreds of bands and songwriters to fulfill their individual goals and move to the next level of their careers. In 2008, Jon teamed up with the production staff at Central City Recording to provide clients with first-rate equipment coupled with a creative and inspiring enviornment. Jon's involvement in projects ranges from writing and co-writing, to multi-instrumentalist studio musician, to straight-up engineer. His personal work includes alternative and pop rock full-length records, soundtrack music for television and film, and writing and recording for commercial applications. A few client list highlights include Top 40 darlings Saving Jane, hip-hop/indie-rock producer RJD2, break-thru Christian-pop artist Jennifer Shaw, Warner Brothers recording artists The Sun, melodic-indie-rock masters Miranda Sound, and punk rock pioneers The New Bomb Turks. Jon has also worked with renowned producers such as Tony Berg (Peter Gabriel), J.Robbins (Jawbox, Clutch) and Ben Hillier (Depeche Mode, Blur). Here is a partial listing of credits according to MSN.


HOME STUDIO OWNERS: With technical advances (and a lot of practice & patience) over the last 10 years, some musicians have been getting great results with minimal home recording systems. If performing in the professional studio setting isnt your thing, not a problem! A great way to have your home-recorded tracks sound their best is to have them mixed and mastered by a pro, in a tuned room, on extremely precise monitors, with the best creative tools available. Some prefer to record drums at the studio, record guitars at home, then bring it back to mix. We can also help you set up a home system that is affordable and compatible with most modern studios. Our system can open any digital file type, as well as transfers from ADATs. Check out special rates for mixing at THEMIXGUY.COM. Feel free to call if you have questions about us handling any part of your project..

"Jon is one of the most professional, competent sound engineers I have ever worked with, both in the studio and in live venues...I never worry when he's behind the board. ”
-Marti Dodson (Saving Jane)

“There are rare occasions in the music industry when you come across someone who does what they say they are going to do, acts professional, gets the job done with great results, and you walk away thinking how easy it would be to hire them again. As a studio engineer, Jon was my go-to guy in Columbus. As a front-of-house engineer on tour, Jon was an added perk on the first day of tour. By the last day, he was an indispensable part of the show. One of the hardest workers i've ever met, easily.”
-RJD2 (Producer, Turntablist Extrordinaire)

Please call the studio to arrange a meeting & studio tour with Jon to discuss your next project.
