Welcome to JSR Studios
A full-service recording studio and production facility, built on classic recording techniques and the best of today’s technology.
With a customer-first philosophy and over 30 years of experience producing music for clients ranging from major label artists to local singer-songwriters, JSR pairs classic analog equipment with the latest digital technology. The result is high-resolution recordings that keep the warmth and character sought after by the most discerning artists and producers.
We’ve had the pleasure of working with artists such as Slash (Guns N’ Roses), KISS, Halestorm, Gavin DeGraw, Styx, members of Journey, Myles Kennedy (Alter Bridge), Big & Rich and Printz Board (Black Eyed Peas), along with Atlantic Records, RCA Records, Universal Records, Warner Bros. Records, the NFL and USA Today.
