I thought it would be intimidating because I don't know anything about recording, but Elliot was so graciously patient and encouraging to help me get everything sounding exactly right. He has so much experience and thinks about music in such an interesting way! It was such a great learning experience in addition to being able to walk away with an album of my songs !

Very unprofessional. The owner, Elliot Koenig, had interns running the session and they were on…read moreTikTok most of the time. As an artist paying for studio time, that's incredibly distracting and disrespectful. I did not feel valued as a client. After leaving, I was repeatedly asked to rebook, instead of being asked how the session went. Bad vibes kill creativity. I would never go back. UPDATED Feb 1-11:24pm After leaving this review, the owner Elliot messaged me AGAIN on Instagram. Took zero accountability and only cares about his image. NOT the client. To address your comment, I asked for a discount, cuz your interns run the session. As Indie artists we have to fight to protect a space we paid for. Often times we don't have other options in the area so we suck it up, but no more! This is not a good studio. I would not go back. Look at how he responds to feedback...

I needed to get two singles recorded but, like most of us musicians, I was on a budget. For $250 a song, Daniel learned my songs, laid down instrumental tracks for me, mixed, and mastered my songs until they sounded absolutely fantastic. He also provides unlimited studio time to make sure that the songs are done to the customer's complete satisfaction. Did you hear that? UNLIMITED STUDIO TIME FOR A FLAT FEE. The entire time, he was very pleasant, professional, and was every bit of a perfectionist as I was when it came to making the tracks as tight as possible. He'll work with anyone's budget, because unlike many of the other studios out there, he cares much more about creating a quality product for his clients over making a ton of money. He takes great pride in what he does, and it shows in the quality of his work. You can listen to samples of his work here: danielmartinproductions.com And you can listen to the work he did for me here: soundcloud.com/lauren-michelle-hayes Please call him up at 714-396-3002 to schedule your session. You won't be disappointed. :-)
