I wanted professional singers and instrumentalists for my songs, and Nate was great in lining up the perfect team. Our sessions have been fun for all. I have looked forward to each of them, and I look forward to many more. Nate is a multi-talented production engineer and musician. His mixes are great and he is very friendly and easy to work with. I immediately felt like I was part of the REP family. My team has been great in staying true to my music, but also in offering suggestions (chord changes, tempo, dynamics), and they have done so kindly. A composer needs to be open to the input of others - welcoming it. It is only by maintaining a big dash of humility can I hear what my listeners hear. Don't shy away from using REP Studio. It is great!

****************************************************************…read moreAsk yourself...What is retaliation? I reviewed my experience at Black Dog Studios accurately and truthfully. In response to this negative YELP review, Robert Blackburn has posted a hateful, misogynistic, and retaliatory response. Please read his response because it shows you his true personality and it comes to you directly from his own mouth. [Thank you, Robert!] I stand by my original review: He WAS NOT in the studio on recording day. **************************************************************** As a business owner, in response to a negative review, would you A) reach out to the customer and say, "Let's figure this out" or "I'd like to give you a refund to help change your view of me," or, would you B) retaliate so the world can see your true nature? Blackburn responds with hateful remarks that go beyond any business owner's reaction to a YELP review. This is how he solves problems and it is the exact type of behavior that I experienced from him outside his studio. Read Blackburn's words and consider this, "Is this normal behavior?" "Is his response a rational response?" "Does his solution engage the public to want to receive services at his business?" This is a rare occasion. Here, the public gets to hear--from the owner's own mouth--how truly vindictive and spiteful he is and we see how he copes. ***************************************************************** * Robert Blackburn details his true maliciousness for all of the world to see. His retaliative comments are a direct reflection of how he regards his customers. Now ask yourself this, "If my daughter/son record at his studio and I don't like the results, what will he say about my daughter online?"

Exceptional recording experience from top to bottom. I've completed a few recording projects at…read moreBlackdog over the last 6 or 7 years. I book out full days most of the time, and the rates are very reasonable. Short sessions are available, rates a slightly higher. Most of my recording work has been with their in-house engineer Erik, but I have also worked with Matt, Cal (former) and Sean (former). All characters in their own right with much insight, and many useful suggestions (tone choices, amp choices, mic placement etc). Erik's "sound profile" tends to coincide well with mine, we have a mutual interest in classic, warm analog recordings, so I generally work with him. They have excellent spaces, well tuned and diverse enough to create some distinct and unique sounds. I am a big fan of the Yamaha grand piano, and Studio A is superb for mix work and critical playback. Studio B is good for light mix work, and it's a bit cheaper. The key to success in any recording studio is getting what you want out of the completed product. Studio time is expensive, and not getting what you hoped for can be very frustrating (trust me, it sucks!) I have had no problem getting exactly what I wanted, for a decent price with killer engineers. I'm very picky, and this place is great.

In all of the Rochester area I have only found the following there: Friendly, helpful, honest treatment. They make you feel like you are the only important thing while you're there. Jimmie Jam and his staff are top notch in fitting you or your children to a correct instrument and lesson schedule with highly competent Instructors! I have found their prices to be very comparable, if not less than other musical sources and their knowledge will help you choose exactly the correct item(s) for your specific needs. Also, let me say that since I picked up the Clarinet again (at the age of 74), I have been taking lessons with them for a year now. The highly competent Instructors (who are all accomplished musicians in their own right) form an easy rapport with the students, and give more than just a "lesson", they actually teach the instrument, along with the theory (which is indispensable when learning any instrument). You could not get me to change Instructors or Stores for any amount of money. I highly recommend the American Music Centre as a music source to all of you. You will not be disappointed!
