” One of the engineers I’ve had the pleasure to work with is John Krauss. JK, is truly a professional with regard to the business of his artistry, making him an all around asset to those with whom he collaborates. I am pleased with his quality of work and would like to recommend JK to anyone who’s looking for an engineer with integrity, honesty and sincerity.”

“John Krauss started off as the engineer for my most recent album “A Moment In Time” and was very quickly promoted to co-producer. Why? Because of the speed with which he “got” my music and the way he came forward repeatedly with fresh, innovative arrangements, tag lines, and melodies. Beyond his superb tracking and mixing skills, John has truly impressive acoustic and electric guitar chops that bring color and interest to every song they touch. He was extremely easy to work with, never pushy with his ideas, always listening and respectful of my vision. His old-school approach to recording, combined with an encyclopedic knowledge of rock, soul, folk, and blues–I’m not exaggerating here–lend a quiet authority to his ideas and recommendations. I plan to use John as executive producer on my next record.”
- Tony Doggett, Artist/Musician
