Diverse Mandolin Player with Extensive Touring Background, for folk, rock, reggae, and more for $200

Jack Hogsden — Session Melodeon Player

Based in Brighton, UK, I’m an experienced session musician specialising in mandolin, with a broad palette covering improvisation, melody, harmony, rhythm, and more. Whether laying down parts in professional studios or remotely through my home studio, I deliver high quality studio tracks to a professional level using Logic Pro X and UA Luna DAWs. I have a selection of vintage microphones, including original valve sE Gemini II, and have access to many more microphones through studio connections.

Technical Setup:

DAW: Logic Pro X and UA Luna

Microphones: sE Gemini II, sE Mini Matched Pair, WA-47jr FET, RED5 Audio RV12, Audio-Technica AT831b, Shure PGA98H, Rode NT1-A. I also have access to U47s, U87s, C414s, and many more.

Recording Environment: My home studio uses close-mic techniques and acoustic treatment to ensure clarity, warmth, and dynamic control, yet I can also record with distant microphones for desired reverb effects.

Tools: I have Full UA Spark subscription, allowing me to have the best emulations of the most historic and iconic gear in the world, as well as Waves Diamond Bundle, and many more plugins. I also have some external hardware, including vintage echo machines, preamps, EQs, and compressors.

Instrument: 1981 Fylde Octavious Mandolin. Custom Newtone Strings.

I have worked with artists including TROI, and performed with iconic artists such as Saul Rose, Simon Care, and Leveret.

This price is for 1 track only; more can be discussed if needed.
