TESTIMONIALS
A Passionate Drummer
Jay has been nothing short of a true pleasure to work with. He immediately could see potential in the songs presented to him. His drumming technique in combination with production, mixing and mastering has leveled up every song. Not only is his skillset astonishing to me, he is a kind, patient, and truly, he encourages me to bring the best I got to the song. His production skills have me singing on FM ready music, and I know this is because of the meticulous processing and dedication he puts in to each song, making it truly the best it can be. I am glad to know him, and will continue to work future projects with him.

I just wanted some drums for a record I'm producing right now. Jay finished a whole mix for me and really took the song to the next level. I'm really happy with the result and hoping for another collaboration. Jay was fast and professional and even gave me insights on the mixing process. He understood the song and added his own style in a creative way.

I've worked with Jay on several projects now and found his playing to be spot on for the material, ranging from ska to 80's Hard Rock. His timing is as solid as it gets and he brings great feel, with restraint, to the material. His drum comps are very cleanly mixed and his seps are perfectly dry and ready for mixing. His recording setup is excellent - the seps have just the right amount of isolation on kick, snare and toms while the overheads have the perfect bleed to compliment and round out the full drum sound. As other's have mentioned, Jay knows how to set and meet expectations. Material delivered when he says it will be - this can be crucial when on a deadline. I would recommend Jay Carros Recording Studios to anyone who wants a professional, ready to mix drum track done.

This is my first time working with Jay but hopefully not the last. I have done a lot of recording the last 30 years and it have always been a hassle with the drums. But not this time! As others have been writing, I emailed my tracks to Jay and got back more than expected. What a great drummer, a little to the heavy metal side ;) This is the first time I have got drum tracks where I had to do absolutely nothing. Perfect timing, great sound quality and maybe the most important part, a good understanding of the music and what my tracks needed. So thanks again Jay, Your work is much appreciated.

Professional in every aspect. Jay laid down drum tracks efficiently for a couple of my songs, his mix was perfect. The attention to detail and his versatility in different genre is the reason why I will keep coming back for top quality drum work. Thank you Jay for taking my songs to a whole different level!

Guitarist / Bassist - Philadelphia
I just completed my first track with Jay, and the drums came out perfect. I was able to incorporate the finished drum track into my project with very little effort on my part. Balance, tone and chops were all spot on. I look forward to doing my next project with Jay.

Just got my first drum tracks by Jay. Exact timing, great feel, and nice communication. Hope to hear some more!
Michael Becker
Bassist / Germany
In my 25 years as a guitar player, Jay is by far the most accomplished drummer I have ever worked with. I recently had the pleasure of recording with him via his online drumming studio. I emailed my tracks, he emailed his. His turn around was quick, I had his beats in my email on the exact day he said they would be there. The thing that struck me the most was the quality of the tracks he sent me. They were eq'd and compressed perfectly. From the optimal amount of shimmer on the cymbals to the thumping throb in the kick drum, I didn't have to adjust anything except the volume. If you are looking for value in both ease of use and awesomeness of sound, Jay is the way to go.

I've played with Jay for over a decade on multiple projects with multiple musicians. No matter what the scale of the project he has always made sure that every aspect he contributed was done professionally and as close to perfection as can be humanly obtained. His drive to perform is relentless and I always knew if Jay was involved he had things covered and I had nothing to worry about. Despite his high standards he was always a joy to work with and driving force behind the success of any project.

I have been working on an all original CD @ Jay C's studio for the past few months. I just wanted to say thank you to Jay for the professionalism he has shown me, & for the amazing production, drumming, & patience he has shown me. I have been in the music business in one way or another for the last 25+ years, & this is my first experience in a studio that I don't feel pressured, or unhappy with the results. Thanks again Jay. I would recommend Jay Carros Studios to anyone who wants crispy clear recordings with everything one will need to get the results they are seeking.

I have experienced many recording studios and engineers and have to say that Jay was not only a pleasure to work with but highly skilled. He took the time necessary to help me get it right but kept us on track to make an efficient use of our time as well. Nothing like a skilled sound engineer to help the recording process go smoothly.
Randy R.
Keyboardist / Composer
I have known Jay as a friend and fellow musician for nearly fifteen years. Recently it was my privilege to work with him. His skill level as a musician coupled with abilities and talents in sound engineering make it easy for me to recommend him for your recording needs. Jay is highly motivated and professional. My experience was very enjoyable.
