On 1/12/22 i had the pleasure of working at Sound Temple Studios in Asheville for a piano recording session of some original music, standards and classical. The owner and engineer Michael George has created a wonderful setting for a solo player like me to operate freely, with the best tools available provided me by the studio.The piano was amazing, tuned a day before my session, almost played itself and and in top shape. I had my 1 1/2 hours of music in my hand by the days end, listened, made my note for editing, and eagerly look forward to my next session as soon as possible including some sessions

Sound Temple Studios provides a most gratifying experience for professional level audio recording. With the best of equipment and organization, its all customly arranged and well prepared to suit the individual needs of the client. Windows everywhere create a wide open feeling with excellent visual access to the control room. A cozy apartment across the hall promises an inviting space to rest and refocus during breaks.

I worked with Sound Temple Studios for my very first professional recording experience, and I could not be more pleased with the results. Robert is patient and professional, a mix master with a true musician's ear. He was thoughtful and involved in making my songs sound their best. Sound Temple's pandemic precautions made me feel quite safe while not intruding on the recording process. I cannot recommend Sound Temple Studios enough!

Robert did a masterful job of tracking, mixing and mastering our songs. He will be getting all of our work going forward. He is easy to work with and his experience paid off when we needed production ideas. couldn't be more happy with Sound Temple Studios.

A state of the art studio and top quality engineer and human, Robert George is about as pro as they get. He mastered my last album as well as produced a single of mine and I am thrilled with not only the stellar results but the process, which was smooth, fun, and professional - with clear communication from the start. I would absolutely recommend Sound Temple Studios and working with Robert 100%!!
