Andrew is a pleasure to work with, making the whole recording process for this rookie enjoyable and minimally stressful! Covid threw some major scheduling hurdles at us, but Andrew was patient and gracious throughout a much-extended process. The studio itself is gorgeous and state of the art, also a complete pleasure! Highly recommend!

From the first phone call to the finished product, I had a wonderful experience working with Landslide Studio. I recorded a song as a gift for my wife, and Andrew approached it with more thoughtfulness and enthusiasm than I could've imagined. His communication was clear and timely throughout the entire process, and it was obvious he cares deeply about his work. Not to mention I had a blast working with the friendly and super talented musicians from Landslide who played on the song. I highly recommend Landslide Studio for whatever project you have in the works.

Recently finished recording a record at Landslide, and I could not have imagined a better experience. Andrew is the consummate professional, a wizard engineer, and a genuinely kind soul. He was also immensely helpful producing the record. He knows all of the best musicians and singers in the area and pulled out the stops bringing them in for me. "The Landsliders," his house band is a who's who of amazing musicians with resumes you can't top anywhere in the country. And also the kindest people you can meet. With some additional talent brought in for fiddle, cello, piano, and pedal steel--as well

Working with Andrew and the musicians of Landslide Studio was such a rewarding experience for me. This was my first time recording a full album, and I felt like I truly gained invaluable experience with each session. Andrew offered support and insight every step of the way and I'll always be grateful for this time. And not to mention that the quality of sound is incredible!
