Meet The JCMC Team

"Upon entering the room, one feels that great art has been realized here before. One senses that the ghosts of wunderous recordings are sitting on the walls of the studio cheering on the new-comer. The electricity fuels our aural sense and inspires our quest for audio greatness. We put on our black lab coats and our masks as to not be seen (or heard) as our fingerprints should not be detected and then, we fight the devious frequencies that have clouded judgement for as long as the phallic tools of audio reproduction have committed them to life. Whoa." - Author Witheld

Short of the engineers at JCM wearing the masks (well maybe sometimes) we think that sounds about right.

From consistently creating great sounding masters to being efficient and timely on deliveries of final media to any location on the globe, the friendly staff at João Carvalho Mastering make the whole mastering experience painless from start to finish. No question is too small and no task is too large. We are always available to assist you .

Tim Branton
Senior Mastering Engineer

Tim R. Branton grew up next door to Gordon Lightfoot's drummer. His first drum kit, borrowed from his kind neighbour, soon replaced Tim’s first instrument, a green plastic pail. Tim's early studies in electrical engineering evolved into a more creative degree in Radio and Television Arts from Ryerson University, specializing in advanced audio production. After graduation, Tim managed Ryerson's School of Radio and Television Arts’ Audio Library, assisting with 1st and 3rd year radio and audio production classes by day, and cutting his teeth in Toronto's booming independent music scene of the early 90's by night.

In September 1995, Tim co-founded Inside Music’s Greenpail Studios in Toronto's Eastern Beaches area. Since then, Greenpail has established itself as a premiere production house and recording facility, with interests expanding into all aspects of the music industry, including development, promotion, marketing and management of up-and-coming acts.

In early 2003, Tim moved his freelance Mastering Engineering services from a small room at Greenpail Studios over to Canada's first and only world-class Mastering facility, Joao Carvalho Mastering. Tim’s technical expertise and “golden ears” have made him the “go-to guy” for independent mastering in Canada, serving clients from the Yukon to Newfoundland and overseas. Tim’s discography includes Carole Pope, The Fembots, Sebastien Grainger, These Electric Lives, Crash Kelly, The Novaks, Shobha, Jane Siberry, The Show, The Midways, Helix, The Makitas, Ron Hawkins and The Lowest of the Low, among many others.
