Glenn J Thomas is a Canadian Mastering Audio Engineer at ITuneAudio located East coast, Canada. Glenn has been in the music business for nearly 30 years and started at the age of 10 while living in the small town of South Brook, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. He would record himself playing bass with a cheap drum machine jamming to a cassette tape recorder. Then take another cassette player to play what he just recorded and record on the other unit while playing guitar. He started recording for other people in 1990 while playing in a band. In 1997, Glenn left Newfoundland and Labrador with his wife and moved to Ontario, Canada. In 2006, Thomas returned to Newfoundland and Labrador with his family and settled in Springdale, just a few steps away from Indian River and designed his home with the idea of having a studio attached. Due to the internet he is mastering some of the world’s top Mix Engineers. Thomas is using the internet for 95% of his work and the internet means studio location is now much less integral to success. He is truly grateful and enjoys the relationships and contacts from all over the world that he has made. Thomas has worked with Grammy winners and professional icons in the music industry including Jim Annunziato (Jennifer Lopez, Celine Dion), Marc Mozart (Bob Marley, Sly Stallone), Pensado’s Place regular Bob Horn (Everclear, Usher). He has also done projects with some of the artists whose output he loved growing up, including working on projects with Kenny Aronoff, with credits such as Johnny Cash to John Mellencamp, and Honeymoon Suite’s Derry Grehan. Glenn is also and talented guitar and bass player and decided he wanted to work on the technical side of the music industry. He realized he heard music a little differently than the normal musician and is able to hear it in 3 or 4 components or whatever was in the song separately, all at the same time. This unique ability was a driving force to take the path he has chosen. He appreciates many genres of music and this was a contributing factor in his decision to being an engineer and producer if he entertains taking on a full production project from time to time.

Thomas approaches each job like a friendship while trying to avoiding those who are arrogant and hard to work with. Music is just to personal to have it become work. He has a friendly manner and his pleasant approach to professional relationships makes him a joy to work with no matter if the client has an impressive resume like Aronoff’s or is just starting out. He treats everyone with a polite and professional attitude.

Thomas also blogs on studio equipment and many of his writings have been used in manufactures websites and even published. Many kind words on how he explains the use of compressors and such in a more understandable convo. He also works with a media design company for websites and artwork for album jackets. When Glenn is not mastering, he is still associated with music, playing bass in the California band X-Sinner with his best friend and lead singer Rex D Scott. If he is at home, one can always find him in his studio connecting with other friends that also have studios like Jim Annunziato, Bob Horn, Ward Pike or Mark Schroor and making music or just talking shop.
