“Working with Jim is the best time and most laughs in the studio ever, and I always learn something new. He believed in me when I had no one and took a chance on me by helping me make a record that would shape my entire career as a producer.  Jim, you are the wind beneath my wings ;-)

“Jim Ebert is one of the finest engineers I’ve ever worked with. He’s that rare combination of soul and scientist. Meaning he can define perfectly that sweet spot between gutteral feel and sonic math. That’s a rare talent.”

“Jim is a pleasure to work with and a great asset in the studio. His clear head and wry humor keep things running smoothly and productively. Even when he shows up in a ridiculous hat.”

“Producer Jim Ebert is able to take our rough demos (sometimes very rough) and original ideas and transform them into complete thoughts with a modern, relevant sound, all in an relaxed and fun atmosphere.  His musical sensibility and production know-how lets us trust him so we can focus on our own performances, knowing the final product will be great.”

“I spent years trying to capture the songs in my head through home recording and sporadic studio time, but always ended up frustrated with the result. When I finally got serious about making my first real record, I was lucky to come across Jim Ebert. Through our preproduction meetings, Jim developed a plan to translate my vision into reality. Jim brought all the necessary pieces together. He knew the right musicians, he knew the right engineer and he knew the right place to capture what had eluded me for years. Beyond the project management side of his work, Jim’s ear and musical sensibilities helped me to develop and define textures that I would have missed without him. Jim helped me realize my vision and I know that my record would not be the same without his contributions. I had a great experience with Jim  at Cue Studios working in the Red Room.”

“Jim Ebert is the guy to go to if you’re serious about getting your music from where it is to where it needs to be. He’s just one of those guys who really understands what makes rock, well… rock.”

“Jim Ebert was the first producer I ever worked with.  I was 15 years old when we recored the EP The Other Side of Me.  The songs that I had started just as vocals and acoustic guitar, Jim brought to life and helped define a sound that I could never have achieved at that point in my life.  Since then, I’ve recorded another EP and full-length record, Lush, which brought me more credibility than any other records to date.  Jim brings total relaxation to the studio (maybe it’s the weed?), which is probably why my vocals takes sound better than any other recordings I ever do (or maybe it’s that damn Telefunken… hmmm…).  More than just a producer and co-writer, Jim has been a friend (and a grandfather).”

“Crooked Crow was honored to work with Jim Ebert on our last 2
recording efforts at Cue Studios. Jim is not only a master of the art
of production he is also an accomplished musician and quickly earned
our respect and trust. I literally don’t think Jim could make
anything but a stellar recording of any band or individual musician.
He is intricately involved in every part of the process from
pre-production to recording, mixing and the final polished product.
We would never trust our music to anyone less than the best…and he
is as good as they get!”
