Stage One is and has always been Top Shelf we worried during COVID that they could weather the storm. Well they did and it was good coming back after almost 2 years. Without you guys the other 97% of us musicians that play just because we love music don't have a venue to prepare for occasional gigs. Thanks Stage One!

I recorded my audiobook here with Rob as my sound engineer and it was a great experience. He was super accommodating, professional, and kind. He does a good job setting his clients at ease (I was a little nervous - this was my first audiobook!) and making sure everything from lighting to chairs to temperature is just so. Offered bottled water and snacks, too. Highly recommend going to Stage One Audio if you have recording needs - you won't be disappointed!
