We recently conducted a planning session for my upcoming album and Giovanni & staff was very professional and detailed in so many ways in helping me plan my upcoming project. He took the time to go over all 18 tracks and offered his expertise on each one. My music is like my child, my baby, and I have decided to record my entire 18 track album ( my baby), at The Record Shop Recording Studio.

During the process of selecting a studio to record my album at and after having called and interviewed multiple Nashville studios I met Gio. He returned my call promptly and took the time to listen to samples of my music so he was prepared for the call. I was impressed with his knowledge and interest in my project as well as really listening to understand my vision for the album. This was my first album and I didn't really know what to expect and what the true process of recording and album was. He answered all of question and also helped draw questions out of me I didn't know to ask. The one

Giovanni was kind and courteous, and offered multiple options, suggestions, and professional advice that eased the recording process. The studio is lively, welcoming, and accessible. The equipment is easy on the artist, allowing time and effort to focus on the songs being produced. He helped me record in a variety of microphone placements to give options, choices, and balance to the style of my playing.
