We’re thrilled to introduce you to the brilliant audio engineer, Jill Zimmermann. In this episode, Jill shares her journey in the world of audio engineering and offers invaluable insights into what it takes to be a successful audio engineer.

Jill's accomplishments are awe-inspiring, having engineered on 2 Gold Singles and a Gold Record, as well as working on Juno award-winning albums by AlexIsOnFire and July Talk. Other bands Jill has worked with are Three Days Grace, Alice Cooper, City and Colour, and so many more.

Jill tells us how her unrelenting work ethic and passion for sound and music have led to her not only making a career as an audio engineer but flourishing in the music industry.

Jill has a unique approach to pitch and explains how her skill as a violinist informs her approach to tuning vocals. As well as giving some solid gold advice on the best starting points for creating vocal harmonies. 

Jill Zimmermann is going to be a speaker at this year's  Studioszene Event - Hamburg 2023 (Book tickets here), showing how she produced vocals for the hard rock band "Rise in Vein". Her masterclass will cover the remote-recording process on that record, insights on vocal editing, how to create great vocal arrangements and how to coach and guide singers in a studio session.

This episode also explores her experiences as an audio engineer adapting to the industry during Covid, particularly in remote recording. Jill discusses the importance of a good, consistent set-up, and talks about building a vocal booth in somebody’s home out of necessity.

So, let’s dive into this episode packed with life lessons, personal experiences, and professional advice from one of the industry's most talented and committed audio engineers.
