This recording studio is Hidden Gem on the East Bay! However, what sets this place apart from other…read morestudios is the Artist/ Owner (Michael)! He was completely professional, upbeat, and a master of sound! He totally took his time to understand my music project and asked me questions and made recommendations to help polish my initial first time recording of a specific song. Even, my vocal coach who flew in from Canada for my recording; agreed on Michael's work ethic and vast knowledge. She is a Juno Award winning artist and has recorded at some of the most well known studios in the world and mentioned that sometimes, ppl may have the the best technology, but they may not know what they are doing and produce crappy results. She mentioned I was in Great Hands and when it was time to complete my project that I should work with Michael! Trust me this was an amazing experience! Thanks Michael!

Our band wanted some demo tapes and Michael had some great ideas and guidance, yet never tried to take over the band's vision for what we wanted. He mentors a nice lad named Phoenix whom, I suspect, will go far in recording. The Studio had all the we required, and communication and studio rates were quite favorable. A no brainer as far as any future projects we may have.

I am sometimes given the impression that my expectations may be too high in terms of the kind of care one can expect to get in a studio - but this was the first time in my life where there was NOTHING I could say could have gone better....they were consummate professionals and absolutely ON IT with EVERYTHING, even the nit-picky musician stuff! They care SO much about the music they are making and they are real musicians themselves, not posers but highly educated and skilled. I was so particularly pleased that Ben's knowledge of music was so extensive, coming from his education at Berklee in Boston...he was SO helpful and was able to use language in talking with my drummer that clarified and nailed down concepts I was struggling to express. He also came up with some brilliant ideas to save me loads of time (and money!). I can't wait to mix my recording here when I finally get it finished! This was hands down the best studio I've ever worked in.

I recently recorded keyboard parts for an album with Scott Goodrich at the helm. I've worked with…read morea number of different engineers in various different types of studio settings, and Scott is definitely one of the best that I've worked with. He has a laid-back demeanor which really helped me get into the groove while I was recording. Of course, everyone has some jitters when first going into the studio, but Scott really helped me allay those feelings so that I could really focus on delivering a good performance. He moves quickly while delivering high-quality results, working with musicians on their mistakes. He patiently sat through me rehearsing, recording, and reinventing my parts with the rest of the band, providing constructive feedback throughout the whole process. He made all of the interactions feel casual while still producing a very tight recording at the end of the day. When the band unexpectedly decided to record on one of the studio's old pianos, Scott was up to the task, quickly cleaning off the instrument and setting up the mic so that I could record on it. His adaptability continued to impress me throughout the session. The studio itself has a wide array of equipment, with a solid mix of hardware and software to get the job done. It is spacious yet wastes no space on unnecessary items. This is not a space for musicians who want to spend a couple of hours relaxing by the pool after recording for 30 minutes; it's a space in which serious work happens. If you're looking to record, I highly recommend checking out Scott at Nu-Tone. I know that I will be back in the future to record more when the need arises, and will be recommending him and the studio to other bands that need professional-quality recordings.

Laid down vocals and 12-string guitar for a folky track. Danny B. the engineer I worked with was incredible - really flexible and meticulous with understanding my vision and making it happen. Did a three-mic setup for the guitar - and it sounds INCREDIBLE. Highly recommend for recording anything from simple folky acoustic all the way up to full band and everywhere in between. This place is straight up legit and captured my music in a way I'm not sure other studios could have. Again highly recommend working with Danny if you can. Prices are also pretty reasonable - will def be recording more here when I get the chance.

He's a fun and professional to collaborate with, and I'm beyond happy with how my song sounds as a finished product. I've been producing on Ableton for a few years, and I was specifically looking to work with someone in studio to learn and improve my mixes in general. I spent a few hours with Chris in his Oakland studio and learned so much during that time. It was one of the most informative sessions I've had since I started making music! Chris shared numerous different techniques and workflow tips with me while making suggestions and helping refine my track. It's clear that he's an expert in Ableton, but is also generous in sharing his knowledge. After our in-person session, we collaborated for another week or so via phone/e-mail through the mastering process. Throughout this process, he was thorough, patient, and gave invaluable feedback and recommendations - all while communicating effectively. Something I really appreciate about working with Chris is that he makes suggestions and gives honest feedback, but also makes sure that he respects the original vision for what the track should sound like. He makes suggestions but never pushes or makes it feel like you're straying or altering your original track. I look forward to working with Chris again! Highly recommend Mothership Studio.
