Great little music shop in the heart of Carlsbad Village…read more For a relatively small shop, Carlsbad Village Music has just about everything music related. Instruments including guitars, amps and ukuleles. They have a lot of interesting memorabilia type items and kitschy decorative stuff also. They give music lessons too! Becky and I wandered in just to mill around a bit. I found a cool little Fender amp lunch pail that I just had to have. It was under 20 bucks! The two guys working were cool, friendly and helpful. We're very glad that we stopped in. If you go, don't forget to stop and say "Hi" to Rizzo the pug dog!

My favorite music store in the world. There is *nothing* like a local music store: the…read moreknowledgeable staff who get to know you by name; the curated collection of instruments, equipment, accessories and resources; the music lessons on-site; the in-depth knowledge and recommendations given freely with a smile; the special orders with the expert opinion to know what you actually need and what the best choice would be based on quality, price, shipping time and more; the on-site repair shop - there is just *nothing* like it. Sure, I could buy from That Big Instrument Center, or that Sweet Other Big Retailer, or That Amazingly Big Website, but if I buy it from Dale or Aaron or Caruso, I'm getting the same price while also investing in the fabric of our community and in making my own day a little brighter, and my my musical knowledge grows a little every time I come in. I LOVE this place and so will you!

I went in to try alto sax mouthpieces and was very enthused with this charming store. It's rare you…read morefind such a clean cozy music store with such warmhearted people and I was delighted to find one. It was definitely a welcome refresh from the corporate music stores of today. They had a wide variety of things in the store which is what first brought us there and we were not disappointed. When we first walked in they instantly remembered us from the phone and allowed us to use one of their rooms in the back to test out some of their products. When we went to check out it was clear it was great value especially considering the level of service. We even chatted with the owner, Dale for a bit and he gave me some helpful tidbits on things like reeds and maintenance. Everyone in the store was so welcoming and kind, it definitely made me feel like a part of such a warm music community. Was a bit out of our way but definitely worth the drive any day. We will for sure be coming back for other essentials and repairs if needed since it was clear it was a shop we could definitely trust! Would absolutely recommend!

I can't say enough about Mike and Eravox Studios. Iv'e been coming here for years and Eravox is…read morelike a second home to me. Not only are Mikes mixes always exceeding my expections but Mike truely cares about helping advance my music career and is a music partner you want to grow with. I've recorded with multiple bands here. From Vocals to Live Drum recordings and everything in between, Mike has it covered!! He's an absolute Jedi and I honestly don't trust anyone else with my product other than Mike at this point. He's very efficient and editing skills are second to none. You get the best finished product for your money at Eravox Studios. Thanks again Mike, ur the one!!!!

A friend of mine, a talented young artist from Afghanistan, who recently migrated to US, was…read morelooking for a studio to have the vocals to one of his songs recorded. I started searching in Orange County area. Unfortunately, no one showed much interest because it was a small project. Everyone I contacted seemed rude. Very disappointing! I started a search in Oceanside since I work in the area and came across Mike. My goodness! Was I lucky to find this beautiful studio and Mike? A breath of fresh air! An amazingly professional recoding studio and engineer beyond my imagination. He got us in the studio within a couple of days and we had the vocals recorded. The studio is beautiful, immaculate and extremely well put together. Within an hour, Mike recorded four different takes of the vocals for the song and emailed us the files while we were there. The music for the song was produced and arranged in Afghanistan. I sent the vocals that were recorded in the ERAVOX Studio to the studio in Afghanistan and they will mix and master the song there. To my surprise, Mike just texted me today, almost three weeks after our session, to see if I had the final product back and that he was wondering how everything turned out. I am amazed by Mike's professionalism and his love and regard for his work. Speechless!!!
