Through nearly a decade of professional Pro Tools experience as an audio engineer, Jason has developed a clear, intuitive approach to working inside the DAW. His seasoned techniques keep the technical side of production simple, fluid, and supportive of the creative process as he helps you bring out the best in your music and bring your productions to life.


Nick Bowcott:
British-born, Nick Bowcott was the founder, leader and riff writer for the mid ’80s NWOBHM cult band, Grim Reaper . . . but please don’t hold that against him. He has since worked at Marshall amps (for over two decades) and Jackson/Charvel/EVH. He now works for Sweetwater as a writer and video maker. He loves to rock!
Don Carr:
With a three-decade career as a professional guitarist in Nashville, Tennessee, Sweetwater’s Don Carr has a long list of album credits in multiple genres of music. His resume includes hundreds of radio and television appearances as well as thousands of live performances nationally and abroad as lead guitarist for the legendary Oak Ridge Boys. It’s no surprise that he’s earned the spot as first-call session guitarist for Sweetwater Studios! Don’s wide range of experience brings professional insight to Sweetwater’s product demos, reviews, how-tos, and group instruction.
