This was my first time recording anything and it was a great experience, he knows how to use all the equipment and can really change your voice to sound great. The price was $45 an hour which was awesome and is way less than what a traditional studio would charge. The place has a very homey and friendly atmosphere and I'll definitely go there again.

My band would not exist if it wasn't for the safe haven of the Live Musicians Co-op. The staff is super nice, and very flexible. The equipment gets the job done and you can't beat the rates; ranging from $13-$16 an hour depending on the size of the room. I cannot recommend this place enough. Plus, rumor has it that they're expanding and they're going to have a lot more stuff going on. -PGPP

We were able to get the band up and recording in about two or three hours which is good because it takes a long time to EQ drums, etc. and we proceeded to record about 10 songs in about four hours.

It's got a great bunch of equipment, analog stuff and other stuff that I'm not really familiar with, but I'm not that technical I'm just a bass player :-)

They are not there to coerce you into parting with your hard earned remuneration; they are there simply to brighten your day. Should you ultimately decide you are there to purchase an instrument or piece of equipment, they will guide and advise you accordingly in making the ideal choice, based on YOUR needs, not theirs. The layout of this shop is systematized in such a manner that is easy on the eyes, a ubiquitous immaculacy, rarely found in a guitar shop. A complimentary coffee bar and hangout nook is such a welcome and beguiling feature. It's not difficult to imagine spending more time in this shop than one has budgeted for; and that's the point, you'll never feel anything but welcome to lounge about, test out some amazing gear, and enjoy all the store and its owners have to offer... Speaking of the owners, Billy's proficient skill with guitar repair has left me in awe. The first two guitars (Ibanez and Fender) I brought in were in need of some serious love. When I picked them up, I plugged them in and found they played better than what I had first purchased them or at any point after. The level of skill and care applied is immeasurable. He treats every instrument as if it were his own. This shop and its owners are a true treasure and a most welcome addition to the town of Petaluma. Do yourself a favor and stop by, you won't regret it. \m/
