About

Franze Music

Franze Music is a full service production company founded in 1989 by J Franze. J has taken his talents nationwide developing and recording artists of all genres. He is a seasoned producer/engineer who has worked extensively in Nashville, New York, and Boston. The State-of-the-Art Franze Music Studio has been in operation now for several years and has not failed to keep up with the times. Franze Music has developed into a fully mobile team of dedicated and extremely talented producers and engineers whose fine-tuned skills have made it into the flourishing company it is today.

This dynamic team is a highly trained, diverse group. Not only are they trained engineers, but they are disciplined musicians and seasoned songwriters with years of experience in all facets of the music business. Owner J Franze has also taught at some of the finest engineering schools across the country, and has penned two exceptional books, "Pro Tools a...z" and "Mixing a...z."

Franze Music has produced a host of artists including Matty McRee, Tristin Burke, and Allison Piccioni. The company has meticulously morphed their demos into fully arranged masterpieces, with some of the finest performances by the most prestigious musicians including Jeff King, Mike Johnson, and Eddie Bayers. The Tracking Room, Emerald, and Sound Stage are some of the world's finest studios that they can call home.

The team's resume speaks for itself and their product always delivers. Franze Music has proven they are dedicated to providing only the highest quality products while keeping their artists visions and budget in mind at all times.

"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."
-Matty McRee

"J Franze is hands down the hardest working person in the business, he's dedicated and always willing to go the extra mile, he pays strong attention to details and genuinely cares about my music and career."
-Tristin Burke

"J Franze is an extremely talented producer, and working with him on my album "A Season For Change" has been the most wonderful and exciting past few months of my life. He is creative, insightful, professional, and has really gone the extra mile. He has surpassed all expectations of a musical producer - Thanks so much, J"
-Allison Piccioni


Franze Music Studio

J's privately owned studio, Franze Music, is a State-of-the-Art facility designed by Carl Tatz of Carl Tatz Design and built around Digidesign's exceptional hardware/software audio recording system Pro Tools.

Design:

"Utilizing an amalgam of techniques, protocol, hardware and software, the CTD PhantomFocus™ Near-Field System is a powerful tool in designing monitor systems. It concentrates first on "reach out and touch the vocalist" imaging where pinpoint detail is spread out before the listener in holographic panorama. Secondly, full and accurate frequency response is achieved by incorporating several elements that can include: speaker/listener position calculations; proper speakers stands; damping and isolation devices; subwoofer systems; laser alignment; 360 degree phase control (all- pass filter); crossovers; and corrective equalization. The success of the system will be limited by the room acoustics evaluation that must precede the process."

Platform:

"For over 20 years Digidesign has been the industry leader in digital audio production, providing the professional music, broadcast, multimedia, and film industries with tools for audio creation, post production, collaboration, and distribution. Our innovative core technologies, which continue to revolutionize the audio profession and the art of recording, have earned us a Grammy® award for Outstanding Technical Achievement, and an Oscar® statuette representing the Scientific and Technical Award of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences for the design, development, and implementation of the Digidesign® Pro Tools® digital audio workstation."
