Jack Skinner is the New York mastering and lacquer-cutting guy who can make a tape punch without turning it into sandpaper. His cuts feel like a clean blade: tight lows, crisp transients, no hype. Sometimes credited as Jack "Supercutter" Skinner, he worked through Sterling Sound, K Disc Mastering, and Europadisk. Early 1980s: helping hard rock and metal hit clean, including Metallica (1983). Mid-’80s: dialing in Talking Heads (1985–1988). Late ’80s into early ’90s: still in demand on records tied to Savatage (1987), The Afghan Whigs (1992), and Peter Murphy (1992).
