He is an example of what sound should be and captures it every time he is in the studio. His hard work and dedication bring music to a life it has never known before. It is always amazing to work with Jay and be a witness to his work."

Crystal Armentrout
"It is my personal preference, whether working in a preferred live performing situation or recording in the studio, that a comfort zone is met to enhance my creativity. In my opinion, that comfort is met by providing an environment that perfects the balance between professionalism and camaraderie between the studio, producers/engineers, and the artist. This is not an easy task but was accomplished with apparent ease by Jay Franze. A project can very easily be skewed or compromised without that balance and Jay exceeded my expectations in this area. My full recommendation, adjoined with complete confidence, goes out to anyone looking to acquire complete comfort with a creative atmosphere to Jay Franze, no matter what the project ventured may be."

"Jay is a professional working engineer who knows what he is doing and always has the best interest of the song at heart. He gets great sounds out of his mixes and can communicate successfully with a producer’s demands. I definitely will use him again on a mix."

"We contacted Jay about doing our next project and after he re-mixed one of our trax from our previous cd, it was obvious we’d come to the right place… the song sounded like it should have in the first place! We are looking forward to doing our next cd, from start to finish with Jay!"

"Jay walked us through every inch of the record business honestly and clearly. I never felt like we were being taken advantage of, which obviously is on every serious artist’s mind. Every question asked was answered and every base was covered.
When we got to recording, there were no time cards and clocks to race. Jay made sure everyone was comfortable and even offered to have us stay at his place. Every bit of the recording process was available for us to see. There was no secrecy in the mixing or mastering of the album, either. He always made it clear that it was our album and we had creative control.
I’d recommend Jay Franze to anyone trying to get off the ground and take that vital first step. We are very happy with everything he has done for us and plan on working with him in the future."

Matty McRee
"Despite my budget constraints Jay worked hundreds of hours mixing, tweaking, and mastering my project because he believed in my songs and the music I was trying to create. Simply put, Jay will not put his stamp on a project unless it is as good as it can be. Not only did he devote all his time to perfecting the album, he has also helped me with many things since manufacturing. My success means his success and he has been there for me every step of the way. I can’t imagine working with a more talented engineer or, better yet, a cooler more genuine person."

you are looking for an expert in the world
of audio,
then Jay Franze is the one to find. Jay’s
knowledge of ProTools, is so extensive, you’ll
never have
to worry about whether the sound you want to
create can be captured. With Jay, you know
it can be captured, the question is, "how
well can you create that sound?" It is a
