My guest today is musician, songwriter, author, and producer, Jack Rubinacci. Born in Rome, raised in the UK, and now residing in Norway. Jack has been through the music industry on both sides of the glass including recorded his debut release with Tchad Blake Peter Gabriel’s Real World Studios, he’s sold produced and mixed his own releases, he’s opened for Joe Cocker, Lionel Richie, and Arcade Fire to name a few. Like many in the industry, Jack suffers from Tinnitus. He’s written two books on the topic and it is the focus of our conversation in today's episode. Jack came as a referral from our good friend and studio rat James Ivey. I felt it was important to have Jack on to discuss this topic of tinnitus since many people don’t. In this episode, we discuss:TinnitusMonitoring lowEarplugsMeeting Dad at 10Sleeping By The Hotel PianoTchad BlakeSympathetic ProducersIPad ProductionDealing with TinnitusGetting inside the SongEar Nose and ThroatPrepping Your Ears for Sonic AssaultTools to Counteract TinnitusSound TherapyMatt's Rant: The Great Al SchmittLinks and Show NotesJacks tinnitus website www.helpmytinnitus.comOvercoming Tinnitus. 12 Tools That Helped Me Overcome TinnitusA Musician With Tinnitus: 14 Tools That Help Me Perform And Cope With TinnitusJack's InstagramJack on SpotifyJack's Site: http://www.jackrubinacci.comJack on YoutubeJourney of Sound to the BrainWCA on Instagram: @working_class_audioConnect with Matt on Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mattboudreau/Current sponsors & promos: https://bit.ly/2WmKbFwCredits:Guest: Jack RubinacciHost: Matt Boudreau Engineer: Matt BoudreauProducer: Matt BoudreauEditing: Anne-Marie Pleau & Matt BoudreauWCA Theme Music: Cliff Truesdell Announcer: Chuck SmithAdditional Music: The License Lab
