I highly recommend Rye Room! Matt is a knowledgeable, professional, and efficient engineer. His equipment is top shelf, he travels to other cities and works with other engineers to keep his game fresh. His personality is calm, open and easy to work with. I see Matt out at shows supporting artist and he is well networked with the artist community in Portland. The studio is a beautiful space, and the studio support dog, Whiskey, adds some charm while diffusing human tension and over excitement that can sometimes be part of the creative process.

I've recorded with Matt Greco at the Rye Room several times and have had both engineering and production work done for multiple projects. Matt is easy to work with, flexible and brings great ideas to the table. He's attentive to his artists' needs and is willing to step outside of the box to help you and your project sound perfect. Matt has an amazing ear for female vocalists as well and time and time again has found that perfect balance between clarity and richness on the vocal tracks of the albums he's produced for me. The Rye Room is cozy, warm and an easy place to relax
