Jacob Kleinberg

I’m Jacob Kleinberg (BARE), a professional Gold-Certified music producer, songwriter, mixer, and mastering engineer with over 10 years of experience in the industry.

I produced, co-wrote, mixed, and mastered “North Face” and the full Analogue album by ODIE.

My work on “North Face” contributed to the record earning an RIAA Gold certification in July of 2023, which recognizes over 500,000 units sold or streamed in the United States. That experience gave me a deep understanding of how professional records are developed, refined, and brought to release.

In addition to my studio work, I have also worked closely with artists in live performance settings. I served as the musical director for ODIE’s 2018 tour supporting the Analogue album and again as musical director for his 2024 EP tour. In that role, I was responsible for translating studio productions into live performance arrangements, preparing playback and session material, and ensuring that the musical direction of the show reflected the sound and emotion of the original records. This experience further strengthened my understanding of arrangement, performance dynamics, and how production decisions translate beyond the studio. 

I specialize in:

• Advanced Logic Pro X workflow
• Professional vocal production
• Mixing & mastering
• Electronic and alternative production
• Song finishing and record polish

My approach to teaching is rooted in real-world professional experience. I don’t just teach how to use Logic Pro — I teach how to think, decide, and execute like a working producer.

I focus on practical application over theory-heavy lectures. Every concept we cover is demonstrated directly inside Logic Pro X so you can see, hear, and implement it immediately.

My method emphasizes:

• Workflow efficiency and session organization
• Critical listening and decision-making
• Understanding why something works — not just how
• Developing your ear and taste
• Finishing records, not just starting ideas

I tailor every session to the student’s goals, whether that’s improving mix clarity, tightening arrangements, building better vocal chains, or completing release-ready tracks.
