Adrian Carr - Producer/Mastering Engineer/composer/pianist
"There has been a huge paradigm shift in our music industry. Although technology is cheaper and more available than ever there is a greater need for experience and excellence as a producer and mastering engineer."
Adrian Carr, a graduate of The Juilliard School and Princeton University, began his work as a recording engineer while playing in his teenage rock bands. In 1977, he was hired as a recording engineer for SUNY at Buffalo, recording student and faculty recitals. In 1988, Adrian started Adrian Carr Music Designs, a studio in New York City, dedicated to the finest in Acoustic Recording. He recorded over 1,500 CD's from private projects to major label work. From 1999-2002 he received four Grammy Entry Nominations for his work as Engineer/Producer. In 2005, the studio closed in New York City as Adrian moved to Montreal to be with his wife. In September 2007, Adrian reopened his studio specializing in CD Mastering and Recording Restoration with the same commitment as always to excellence and service.
