He also generated a dreadful rough mix that was a 'no-mix' - just run right off the recording sporting about a 30db S/N ration. Unlistenable and demoralizing. Still trying to fix the sound with a considerably better engineer at a different facility but essentially this place destroyed a project i worked very hard to put together. As an extra bonus, the flaky manager was even more apathetic than the engineer and was impossible to reach (except when demanding payment). She is the Dave Trumfio's wife and does not particularly like her (part-time) job, per her direct quote to myself. I heard they had gotten someone more competent to replace but can't vouch for that. In any case I am beyond caring what happens here. If you are dead set on recording here, make sure you vet your engineer very carefully. Don't get too starry-eyed about the Neve console. Once your recording is botched no Neve will save you.

This a really hidden spot and you might drive right past it the first time unless you're following your GPS. The facility is small (or narrow I should say) but the practice room itself is a decent size and can comfortably fit a 6 piece band. The studio is set up in 3 sections. First you come in through the front and find yourself in the lobby/living room area. The next door takes you through the engineer's room. Once you go through the last door you'll be in the music room. The studio only has one music room, so be sure to call ahead and book your slot. In terms of equipment, it's all pretty old, but it gets the job done, as my nutshell description above states. If you are a picky musician like me, bring your own gear. The room does have outlets, AC (ask them to turn it on if you need it), a couch, fridge, drums, amps, and of course a PA system to plug into. As any budget-friendly studio, it is not fancy or fresh-smelling. The price is OK, $13/hr. You'll have to park on the street and should be able to find parking right in front or pretty close by. The studio owner (Gemini) and his girl are easy going, welcoming, and accommodating. Feel free to ask them anything in regards to the place or even music. Gemini seems to have been in the music industry for some time. Oh, one more thing. There's a bunch of fish tanks.

The one I recorded in had this awesome Moulin-Rouge vibe and it was tricked out with everything you could ever need. As a lowly narrator, I can't tell you all the details about tech specs and whatnot, but I trust my publishing house only books the best. Tim was the most warm and friendly guy and put me right at ease (which goes a long way in this industry and in life in general--some folks are just technically competent but completely relationally incompetent, unfortunately). It was so cool to get a chance to get a peek into his awesome microcosm tucked away in Highland Park. Highly recommend.

This review is long overdue, but the praise can't go unsung for Tim at York Recording. My band…read morerecorded our debut album there and couldn't be more pleased with every part of the experience. We bumbled around with a couple amateur producers and home studios before discovering York. This is the real deal if you want to record, mix, edit or master anything resembling legitimate-sounding music, voice-overs or podcasts. Tim took the time to meet us ahead of committing and gave us a great vibe and tour of his studio. Once we pulled the trigger, he was super professional but also relaxed and fun to be around. It was like recording with an old friend, but in a high-end studio with top-notch gear. The vibe of York also attracted us: tastefully decorated and adorned with cool stuff, not to mention the cherry vintage gear he has available. As a drummer, I salivated at some of his snares! Guitars, drums, keys, amps, mics and pres, all sweet as pie. Not to mention his digital stuff, high-end emulators and plugins all hooked into a HD ProTools rig. Best of both worlds. Speaking of which, Tim is literally the Billy the Kid of ProTools. He's smoking fast and the only thing that held us up was us! We tracked our entire album over two weekends which is crazy quick (it can take anywhere from a few weeks to months for an album) and returned for mixing. Because of the efficiency, we ended up spending less than on our 6-song E.P. that didn't sound half as good. Tim gave us sage advice and lent himself to produce, but also gave us complete creative control. His ears are amazing and his decades of engineering experience really showed. It really helped us at every step. I'm still amazed at how good the mix sounds on every system I play it on -- car, phone, earbuds. It just translates so well and I'm even more convinced than before (not that I doubted) that his informed intention behind every decision was the best for our project. We look forward to working with him again in the future! Thanks Timbo! P.S. We were there this past summer in the middle of COVID-19. Tim wears a mask in-session and keeps his place meticulously clean and sanitized. There was plenty of space to keep distance and we felt very safe.
