Gabriel was my engineer and he made sure that not only my talent understood what was going on but he made sure that my requests were met, professionally and quickly. I highly recommend these guys if you need to record... Pretty much anything. I will be using them again, thank you guys so much for making this whole experience super easy!

Scott took the time to listen to my creative goals to ensure we were on the same page, gave amazing and much appreciated mentorship advice, and poured every ounce of his talented, creative soul into my song!

They worked within our budget and they even came to us to record. AMAZING! We worked out a price that allowed us to record for two days giving us time to focus on the 7 songs we wanted to record. We worked with Nathan and Matt(audio engineer) from start to finish. Both were extremely understanding of the sounds we were trying to achieve and made the experience very enjoyable. I will definitely be returning to Nathan Safchuk Audio for our new band releases and even new projects!

For: creative artists, outboard lovers, big mixes, natural sounds, unique arrangements, live…read moreinstruments, nit-picky audiophiles, down-to-earth humans with musical integrity Not for: sterile tracks, over-compressed nonsense, get-in-get-out, fads, knock-offs, cheap plugins, iZotope presets, chumps. Dave is a lifelong music maker and it's obvious. It's obvious by his (very hand-picked and constantly-evolving) collection of outboard gear and vintage microphones, by his scarily-sharp ear (can pinpoint problem frequency in kick drum from two football fields), and by his humble, head-down attitude towards music. I've been in and out of studios since my first summer cable-wrapping internship at Studio West in high school (2008)--from beachy San-Diego home studios to SF bay middle-of-the-roaders to Stephen Still's home-studio and Dave Aron's (Snoop Dog, Dr. Dre, Prince) platinum-lined monster--and I go to Dave. Because folks with his talent and integrity and unique amount of personal (and monetary) investment are near-impossible to find. This place is the real-deal. Go here to make some magic.

Working with Rene at Future Sound Studios was the best decision I made in 2018…read more The worst decision I made was using my drummer's boyfriend's studio. I had three great songs that I had written over the summer that I decided needed recording for my debut album. My drummer offered her bf's studio to record the band, which was cool at first. It ended up being a HUGE mistake--the drums sounded AWFUL recorded in his place. Small, tinny, behind-a-padded-wall sound. Out of sync totally. Not to mention his overall attitude was weird--it ended up being his session, not mine. I thought there was no hope for saving these records. And I still had yet to record my vocals. Luckily, we found Rene on Yelp. With his help, I was able to record my vocals and get the drums fixed to a T. Rene made my songs go from B-side 1960's crap small-studio sounding to 2019 sparkling, widescreen Katy Perry perfection. We also go the songs done relatively quickly. I was obviously a bit trepidatious going back into a studio after that last experience, but I shouldn't have been. Rene is very nice and personable, the opposite of what I experience so often in Hollywood. I felt comfortable in his studio the second I stepped foot inside. Rene and I are also on the same wavelength creatively--we both feel when a take is right and when it's not, when a song is hot and when it's not. He is very honest and will tell you the truth, which I appreciate. My favorite part of working with him is his sense of humor. I also respect how I requested no autotune on my voice and he actually listened--most other engineer/producers I've worked with laugh right in my face at that and never do it, they're too egotistical to ever let the singer make mistakes on their record. But he let me try it. Remember, as a mixer, masterer and engineer, his success is your success. He is a hard worker-I must have asked him for 40 files for TV and film placement purposes and he sent me every single one immediately. He is a walking plethora of musical knowledge. The actual room is small where I recorded, but it worked fine for me and my backup singer. If you really wanted to, you could cram a small choir in there, maybe a horn. Rene's studio is for overdubs, not bands. So, keep that in mind. Although he does have other rooms. Great, high-quality gear, too. Fantastic mics. Rene is awesome! I can't imagine going to anyone else to finish this album. Excited to work with him again. Would recommend! 10/10 ***check out edithviolette.com to hear the final product, will be out soon***

He is an amazingly talented composer, friendly, welcoming, accommodating and will even add ideas to boost your track. My songs got so much attention. I think because everyone loved the beat so much .
