We had the best experience at the studio this morning! Drew was able to create something we didn't think was possible! He is incredible at his craft and extremely nice and patient. He worked great with my kids and brought our idea to light! Studio was neat and welcoming!

Drew is AWESOME at his craft. Ive done multiple drum recordings with him and wont go anywhere else. Ive been to studios with all the fancy stuff and they sound nowhere near what Drew was able to pull off. Not only is he amazing at recording, hes a super rad dude to work with. If you let him do his thing, he will bring out your full potential on your tracks. I remember during one session, he told me do it again because he KNEW we could get the drum track sounding even better. He was right!! Star Sound Studio has the right equipment and leadership to get you sounding
