"A special thank you to James Byron Schoen, www.JBSRecording.com. Words can't express how grateful I am for the journey that led to you...I had a blast working with you and I appreciate your dedication to the project. Because of you, I have more than an album project: This album is a musical experience." Rachel Walker

"James is a professional and a true musician, putting the utmost care into achieving the ideal sound in his recording. He is an absolute pleasure to work with, and the end result of his meticulous craftsmanship is a major studio-quality product, within a realistic budget. We are thrilled with the depth and clarity of the drum tracks on our album, and cannot recommend JBS Recording highly enough." Joe Morse, Astronaut Down

	The Middlebury College Bobolinks Co-ed A Cappella Middlebury, VT hcommunity.middlebury.edu /~bobolink/
"We all had a wonderful time recording with JBS. He was very professional, flexible, and knew exactly how to attack recording an a cappella group (an art in and of itself). Our finished product was head over heels better than our previous records, and with a much lighter price tag. We can't wait to work with James again." Mark, Bobolinks

	The Middlebury College Mamajamas Co-ed A Cappella Middlebury, VT Community.middlebury.edu /~mamajama
"The Mamajamas truly admired the patience and technical knowledge James provided for meeting our recording goals at the right price. We sincerely value this gem of the recording world, who placed an album in our hands in no time! Thank you!" Patch, The Mamajamas

"James was great to work with. He had an extremely flexible schedule and was more than willing to experiment with many different recording techniques to achieve the sound we were looking for. We couldn't be happier with the way our CD turned out." Jonathan Rollins, The Longfellows

The Vassar College Night Owls Women's A Cappella Poughkeepsie, NY VSA.Vassar.edu/~nightowls

"We were really enthusiastic to record, but also nervous because we had never before recorded as a group. James was warm, friendly and welcoming and guided us through the recording process with infinite patience (even after three 12-hour days in a row...). We're all a bit ambitious and prone to perfectionism; but James is as well, so each track received as much (or more) attention and care as we had hoped for. An extremely musical person, he gave us invaluable feedback every step of the way and tailored the entire approach to our group's dynamic and sound. It can be difficult to record a cappella music intended for performance, and we wanted to sound like the best live version of ourselves on the CD. James exceeded our expectations and gave us a fabulous final product and even took care of all of the logistics for getting the CD mass-reproduced and shipped to us. He comes highly recommended by us!"

	The Vassar College Devils Co-Ed A Cappella Poughkeepsie, NY Vsa.Vassar.edu/~devils
"Recording our album with James was an all-around wonderful experience. Not only is he an expert at the technical aspects of the process, but he also respected our group's style and direction, while providing helpful commentary and suggestions to aid us in creating the sound we strive for." Naomi, The Vassar Devils

Brown University/RISD’s Harmonic Motion Co-Ed A Cappella Providence, RI Brown.edu/Students/ Harmonic_Motion

"Our group struggled to find a recording studio that produced high quality sound without charging a ridiculous amount of money. When James sent us an email about JBS Recording, we were immediately impressed by both the efficiency (we could record up to 5 songs in a day) and the great price of his services. I was pleased that we could record as an entire group together and still preserve the editing capabilities of individual voice parts, soloist, and percussion. We recorded on our own campus without having to travel, which was extremely convenient for our rather large group. We finished our CD in the following year within our limited budget, and couldn't have been more pleased. James was dedicated to making the CD sound exactly as we wanted, and cared a great deal about our comments, input and suggestions. We will certainly be recording with him again!" Lena, Harmonic Motion

Wesleyan University's Quasimodal Co-Ed A Cappella Middletown, CT

Working with James on our CD couldn't have been a better experience. Not only was he extremely helpful with all musical aspects of the process, he was also always just a great guy to spend the day with. His musical expertise really came in handy at times of indecision or uncertainty--he even conducted for us when we needed it! He made the long days of recording that much more enjoyable. And the final mixed, mastered product...fantastic. A really professional CD that couldn't have sounded better anywhere else. Seriously, go with James. Seriously Seth, Quasimodal "The recording sessions in which we worked with James made for truly a great experience. James was just as interested in how our voices sounded as we were, not to mention his great attentiveness to all of the technical aspects of our cd's sound (obviously because he is a great recording technician)! We are sooo pleased with the final product as the recording was enjoyable and well-priced, including the fact that we received the master copy in no time! Thanks James!" Amanda, Quasimodal

The Lehigh University Echoes Women's A Cappella Bethlehem, PA Freewebs.com/lehighechoes

"Working with James was such an awesome experience! He is completely professional and fun to work with as well. The fact that he can travel to your location is incredibly convenient and he was very efficient during the recording process. While mixing the CD, he allowed the music manager to work with him in order to give feedback on the original recording - which was great as well. Our group couldn't be happier with the CD that James delivered and we definitely recommend him for any recording job in the future!" The Lehigh Echoes

The Middlebury College Mountain Ayres Madrigal/Early Music Middlebury, VT Community.Middlebury.edu

"It's refreshing to really know and trust the person who will be recording, mixing, and mastering your music. James provides the right balance between a friendly person that gets along well with college students and a professional who really wants your music to be of the highest quality it can be. His experiences as a singer and musician allow him insight into your goals for creating a CD. He works hard and is very accessible." Ryan, The Mountain Ayres "The group has been very pleased with the CD--your post-recording editing really improved our sound! It was really beneficial to us as a group to record in a space we were familiar with, so thank you for making the trek up to Middlebury rather than having us go somewhere. I felt you were very professional yet not stilted. You were easy to work with, and exceptionally accommodating. What's more, you were very patient with us while we squabbled about dynamics or whether to do another take! And you did all of this for a very manageable fee!" Michael, The Mountain Ayres
