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 J Franze of Franze Music. A project can very easily be skewed or compromised without that balance and J 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 Franze Music, no matter what the project ventured may be."

"We contacted J 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 sould have in the first place! We are looking forward to doing our next cd, from start to finish with J!"

Hazin' Jane

"J 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. J 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 J Franze (Franze Music) 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."

"J has always accomplished what I have asked of him in a very professional manner. He has a deep understanding of what clients need and expect in the music business. He has always kept his technical "chops" up, staying on top of the quick moving technology that is required to be an engineer/producer in our field. I will continue to work with J in future endeavors."

Matty McRee

"Despite my budget constraints J 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, J 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."
