Had a session today with Jon Gerner. One of the easiest recordings I've had. He had all the equipment needed. I didn't even take a guitar surprisingly but was glad I put total trust in this studio. He listened to the ideas, had great feedback and even played on the track. Amazing, quality sound and experience all around. I'll be back.

Jeff Mount is one of the most professional engineers I've worked with this far. He's fast, efficient, and works hard to make sure you like the finished product. This is my second time here and I will definitely make this my home for recording.

Jon is awesome. The entire staff is . They start on time, listen to your ideas, try their best to carry them out, and don't lolligag, to make the time linger. I record 95% of my work there and I'm always satisfied and award nominated. They're Tooo Dope!
