Jeff Ellis

Jeff Ellis is a Grammy Award-winning recording engineer and Grammy-nominated mix engineer. His most notable work was on Frank Ocean's critically acclaimed album 'Channel ORANGE'.

"I got my start at the famed EastWest Studios in Hollywood California, (formerly United/Western Recorders) where artists such as Frank Sinatra and The Beach Boys once recorded. I worked with countless top artists during my tenure at Eastwest and rose through the ranks to become one of their main engineers."

In 2011, Jeff left Eastwest Studios to engineer Frank Ocean's channel ORANGE. The Album was a critical success, earning him a 2012 Grammy for Best Urban Contemporary Album, as well as nominations for Album of the Year and Record of the Year. The album includes the Platinum selling single 'Thinkin' Bout You' which was his first platinum selling mix. Since going freelance, Jeff has worked with many other notable artists such as Akon, Skylar Grey, Kate Nash, Vic Mensa, Tyler the Creator, Earl Sweatshirt, Linus Young, Ryan Beatty and many more.

After the release of Blond, Jeff transitioned to focusing on mixing and has since worked with many other notable artists such as Doja Cat, JOJI, The Neighborhood, Kali Uchis, Rico Nasty, Snow Aalegra, Omar Apollo, Vance Joy and many more.

In 2021 Jeff returned home to EastWest studios as a permanent resident mixer in Studio 4.

Jeff Ellis and FabFilter

"Pro-Q 3 is the first plug-in I have owned where I feel like as much programming effort was put into the user workflow experience as the sonic quality. The hotkeys within the plug-in allow me to change parameters very quickly and the spectral analysis display combined with the 'intelligent solo' feature make frequency carving a breeze. These features are shared within other FabFilter plug-ins as well."
