Our History
Jacques Sewrey started his interest in recording at a very early age. Always intrigued by sound and electronics, as a child he took stuff apart to see how it worked and at age 14 got his first audio recorder. Playing drums in rock bands all through junior high and high school he set up the PA systems and did simple recordings of the bands. Jacques entered the professional market after graduating from Full Sail Recording Workshop in 1980 with a certificate in basic and advanced recording engineering. Working in various studios around town, Jacques honed his skills until 1994 when he opened his own studio, Great Mix Recording. Since then he has recorded and produced countless bands and artists in the Milwaukee area. He also has played cello in local community orchestras, he can read a music score, and has over a decade of live sound reinforcement experience. Currently he records live acoustic concerts for many local organizations and Masters recordings for local area bands and artists.
