STAFF

My name is Jay McFarland, and I'd like to personally welcome you to Diesel Dungeon Studio... my home, my life, my passion, my dream come true.

​

I'm a longtime member of the local music scene in Windsor, Ontario, Canada, and have played as a drummer and background vocalist in various groups for over 20 years. I also play some guitar, bass and keyboards. Since 2014, you're most likely to find me out on the scene as a live sound engineer or front-of-house mixer at various festivals and concerts.

 

My early intro to music as a child stems from my dad being a guitarist, and by 1995 was when I first started showing an interest in drums. I'd set up coffee cans duct taped to chairs as my first practice kit - humble beginnings! By 1998, I was recording myself play the drums and also my band practice...on cassette tape! I'd get into early digital recording shortly thereafter.

In 2011, my amazing wife gifted me an iMac, and the rest was history! That was when I took a deeper dive into recording, mixing and mastering for not just my own projects, but client projects as well.

​

Since then, I have been constantly polishing my craft and building my microphone and recording hardware collection. My passion for music has shifted from being a gigging musician to a dedicated and passionate music producer, and I have never looked back!

​

I truly love what I do! It is my passion and my promise that I will not rest until you are completely blown away at what I have helped you create, musically. I REALLY want to help you take your music to the next level and sounding its absolute best, like it deserves!

​

I love ALL styles of music - discrimination is not welcome here...

​

I look forward to working with you. :)
