Jack Joseph Puig is among the most sought-after producers and mixing engineers in the music industry.
Jack Joseph Puig is world-renowned as a producer, mixer, and engineer, blending the sounds of the past three decades to create a unique contemporary aural tapestry. As one of the industry’s most in-demand engineers, Puig has manned the controls for a veritable who’s who of major artists.
Recently, Jack Joseph Puig collaborated with Waves on The JJP Analog Legends, which features four precision-modeled plugins based on rare gear from his own studio. Here are some photos of a recent session with Jack as he explains the front and back end of the plugins.

About JJP Analog Legends
JJP Analog Legends is the result of an ongoing Waves research and development project that has lasted over 3 years.
Fairchild compressors are among the very rarest pieces of recording gear; it’s rumored that less than 50 were originally manufactured. One of the first things we discovered when testing Fairchilds is that each model sounds different. In fact, even within the same stereo module, each channel can sound and behave differently! Only a few fortunate studios in the world have multiple units, with the opportunity to compare the subtle differences between them. And so, our quest for the best sounding Fairchild led us to producer/mixing engineer Jack Joseph Puig, well-known in audio circles for his enviable collection of hard-to-find gear.
Jack loaned us his very best sounding unit, and we painstakingly analyzed and modeled its every attribute, replicating its sound and behavior to the point where the software was virtually indistinguishable from hardware. Jack was an indispensable part of the development process, greatly assisting the Waves team by testing and fine tuning the software models of his hardware, as well as contributing an extensive library of his personal presets.
So when you fire up the PuigChild, it’s almost as if you were working together with Jack Joseph Puig in Ocean Way studios. Better yet, it’s as if he loaned you a Fairchild. And not just any Fairchild; his BEST Fairchild.

Among his clients:
The Rolling Stones, U2, Black Eyed Peas, Green Day, Fergie, John Mayer, Sheryl Crow, Klaxons, Panic At The Disco, Weezer, Counting Crows, Pussycat Dolls, Goo Goo Dolls, The Black Crowes, Switchfoot, No Doubt, Mary J. Blige, and more.
Puig has produced hits for the Verve Pipe (“Freshmen”) and The Black Crows (“Good Friday”), among others. Calling Ocean Way his home, Puig has spent time both as an engineer and as a producer and sees the duality as a plus when dealing with today’s Top 40 rock acts, many of whom ask him to mix their albums as well. He has also mixed albums for Hole, Collective Soul, Green Day, Mick Jagger, Lisa Loeb, and others.
Puig’s Picks
The vintage hardware modeled in the JJP Analog Legends are among the rarest, most coveted pieces in the audio world. The PuigChild 660, PuigChild 670, PuigTec EQP-1A, and PuigTec MEQ-5 are based on these acclaimed units.
About Fairchild: Among gear aficionados, the stereo Fairchild 670 is considered the most coveted of all compressors, not only because of its pristine sound, but also its rarity and price: 670s routinely go for tens of thousands of dollars on the vintage market. (They originally cost less than $1000.) With 20 vacuum tubes and 4 hand-wired transformers in a hefty 6 rack-space chassis, these hard-to-find units weigh in at a robust 65 lbs.
Designed by Estonian-born Rein Narma in the early 1950s, both the stereo 670 and its mono counterpart the Fairchild 660 use single push-pull amplification stages with extremely high control voltages. Both variable-mu limiters are unique in that they use tubes for gain reduction as well as amplification. Compression takes place directly in the audio path, rather than being routed to a separate circuit.
Prior to the 660 and 670, Narma’s Gotham Audio Developments had built consoles and components for such luminaries as Rudy Van Gelder and Les Paul. Shortly after Paul asked Narma to build a limiter, Sherman Fairchild caught wind of the project, licensed the design, and hired Narma to come onboard as the company’s chief engineer. After his stint at Fairchild, Narma relocated to the San Francisco Bay Area and became vice president of Ampex, pioneers of multitrack recording equipment.
About Pultec
Custom-engineered and built by hand, the original Pultecs have long been a top choice of leading recording and mastering engineers. Pultecs are renowned for their ability to accentuate individual frequency ranges without significantly altering other frequencies.
In 1951, Gene Shenk and Ollie Summerland of Pulse Techniques Inc. introduced the first passive program equalizer, the EQP-1. Using equalization circuit designs licensed from Western Electric, the initial Pultecs suffered the gain insertion losses typical of passive filters. So, they added a gain makeup stage, using a push-pull design with multiple vacuum tubes. The result is the classic we’ve come to know as the EQP-1A.
Conceived and created for broadband equalization, the EQP-1A features four low boost/cut frequencies, three high-cut frequencies and seven HF boost points, along with a bandwidth control for shaping the high boost curve. The EQP-1A and the MEQ-5 together comprise one of the best known equalization chains in audio history.

I had a joy editing this video for Grace EV Free in La Mirada for our 2010 Thanksgiving service. Enjoy.
From a harp recording session by Brian Petersen with a piece written by Trevor Gomes on November 20, 2010.
Miced with a Neumann TLM 49 cardioid directional large-diaphragm studio microphone running to a UA LA 610 into Pro Tools LE8 running Waves Mercury Bundle.
People may ask, “How do I record a harp?” A couple rules always apply for any recording. I use a nice large room with high ceilings, a good player, good charts, and a good producer and engineer. I used two mics in with one pointing at the soundboard and the Neumann is bit higher aimed at the strings. I loved the result and will use this in the future.

I love being part of a team where I get to see people live out their adoption in Christ and defend the rights of the orphan and widow.
Project Hope at Grace EV Free celebrated its third Orphan Sunday by hosting Sunday services called, “Defending the Fatherless.” November 7 is internationally recognized as Orphan Sunday and the event was tailored for the church body with preaching, sung worship, testimonies, prayer, and exhibits with tables from local ministries to help Christians defend the fatherless. I’ve included the sermon video below with some photos of the fun event. Enjoy and God bless you!
You can download the sermon audio or listen online by visiting the Grace EV Free website here.
