Working with NADA Recording Studio was an actual dream come true for our band. From the initial point of contact, John has been responsive and incredibly informative in explaining the various services and expertise he can provide when recording and mixing music. Our team recorded 5 pieces over the course of a week with John and the experience was beyond any recording session we've had previously. As you tour through the walls of formative punk history you can see the impact John has had on the genre and the passion he has for recording and producing. Not only were we given the best advice

For years I dreaded going to the studio, but after going to Nada its wild how much I love it. Especially because of the experience John provides. Working with him has given me some of my favorite records Ive played on and I would say at this point amounts to dozens and dozens of songs. Johns professionalism and understanding provides a thorough and relaxing environment for nearly anyone coming through.

Tracking with John was an absolute pleasure! I felt super comfortable and at ease from the moment I stepped through the door. I couldn't believe how great my drums sounded when I heard the first play back. So happy with how our recording came out. Nada Recording Rules!!

John truly exceeded our expectations as a producer in every way. Booking studio time with the same person who worked on all our favorite emo classic records by MCR, Senses Fail, Brand New was intimidating to say the least. However, from the moment we arrived, he made us feel welcome and we were sharing stories, laughing, and most importantly, creating great quality music in no time. I can speak for my entire band when I say that John delivered a once in a lifetime experience for us. He coached each of us through challenges, always pushing us to try harder because theres always a better one

I am not sure there are enough words to accurately describe how satisfied my band and I were with this experience. Having been a band for the better part of the last 20 years, we have had a lot of studio experience, and none have come close to what we got working with John and the folks at Nada Studio. First, the communication with John was amazing. He patiently answered all of our dumb questions in record time. Arriving there, you know you are in for a great experience, as his top notch and modern studio is located on beautiful property that sets the stage for your time there. He has all the equipment

BEST STUDIO EVER! We spent a weekend recording here and right from the start we knew we were in good hands. John and his studio had such a hospitable vibe. It was clean and professional. The quality of work he does is high grade professional and if you dont take my word for it, you can tell just by looking at his discography. He was encouraging us to be creative with our tracks while offering really good ideas along the way. He takes his time to make sure you like the recordings and asks questions along the way. Hes one of the chillest people Ive come across and I cant wait to work
