From start to finish, Jessi, Colin and Max went above and beyond to ensure that every aspect of the recording process was seamless and professional. First and foremost, the studio itself was top-notch. They have an amazing amount of options of microphones to choose from, I went with a Sennheiser 416. Additionally, the studio's acoustics were excellent, providing a clean and crisp sound without any unwanted background noise, we used studio A mostly. The entire recording process was enjoyable and stress-free, I was there a lot so that's saying something- Overall I can't recomend them enough. If you're looking for a recording studio that will deliver then make sure you work with them.

I booked a last minute voiceover and have no equipment for it. Max let me come in ASAP and ran my…read moresession for me, ensuring everything went smoothly. He was so friendly and helpful, the studio is gorgeous, and the client was happy. Thank you tightrope!!

Recently used Mystery Street Recording Company, and Joe Tessone provided excellent service…read more Specifically, Mystery Street was able to transfer audio files from 40-year-old cassette tapes to digital. Joe cleaned up the files and "restored" the audio quality. He provided both MP3 files and higher quality audio files. Getting the files was easy- Joe provided us with a download link for quick access. Pricing was reasonable for the quality of work and turnaround time. For a fee of $100/tape in addition to the hourly rate, we received expedited service.

Somehow took me several years to get here to write a review; didn't even think he was on Yelp…read more Robert has been teaching me how to use my voice as an instrument. How to care for and train it, and how to play it. I went from shower singing to singing in public, performing in public within a year and my confidence and my ability grew along with my repertoire. He is a past master at analysis of strengths and weaknesses, reenforcing the former and transforming the latter. Whether you want to sing in public, need help in finding your voice in business meetings or just want to have fun, Robert is for you, the thinking person's singing teacher.

One good way to make assessments of people is to see how they treat you when there's no money…read moreinvolved. RHR studios posts regular open meetups (although you have to join their meet up group and register for the event). Roberts meetup takes place at martuni's bar. It's essentially an extension of the school there. So I registered and signed up for The meet up. When I arrived at the location of the meet up, Martuni's staff tried to prevent me from going in there. I explained that I signed up for the meet up and had to show them that there was in fact meet up there which the staff at tried to deny that there was. I was aggressively Felt up by that Martuni's staff member. I can't blame Robert for that. But after I said "please stop touching me," she became agitated, denied that she had touched me, and asked me to leave. So I left. Robert, instead of apologizing and offering to make it up to me, banned me from the meet up group. So that's how he runs his business. Asess how Robert conducts his business prior to walking in to his own establishment. Then you might see the side of RHR Voice Studios that i see.

Back in the day when I lived in Logan Square I was in a band and we practiced at a space in…read moreHumboldt Park. The space was pretty convenient and you always knew when the Chicago Puerto Rico parade is taking place. I actually had someone tag my backpack while I was waiting for the bus...while the backpack was still on my back. And I really didn't think I was that buzzed at the time but I completely didn't notice the handiwork. I have moved from Logan Square to Lincoln Square and have started practicing once again with the drummer from my previous band. The most convenient space is the Music Lab. I had seen their ads forever in the Chicago Reader and had passed by the space thousands of times but never really noticed the place. It really doesn't stand out, mainly because the first floor houses a doggie daycare. Evidently that ain't too rock and roll. The spaces are fairly small but that seemed to work out just fine. The sound bounced off the walls and worked out pretty well. The spaces also smelled of dog urine but overall it isn't a bad practice space. The location, the price and the acoustics all fall in the positive column, while the doggie daycare is a minor distraction. So in short the Music Lab is a hidden, urine scented gem.

This place is great for the sole purpose that it allows me to play music (especially drums!!) at…read morewhatever volume without anyone leaving me nasty anonymous notes on my door. So that's a plus. Additionally, the neighborhood is great. Super, super close to the brown line, plenty of street parking in the evenings and on weekends. And it's within walking distance to great bars and restaurants on Lincoln Ave. The guy who runs it is also a very nice guy. However, for what it is, the price is a bit much. The rooms are small and not nearly soundproofed enough. If the guys next door are playing, their bass causes me to have to play louder than I'd like. Additionally, since it's above a doggy day care place, every now and then the hallway reeks of dog urine. Oh, and you can't flush toilet paper down the toilet, not that you'd want to risk sitting on it anyway. Also unfortunate is the complete lack of temperature control--my space easily breaks 100 degrees in the summer months. It's not pleasant to have three sweaty dudes with a bunch of equipment in a 100+ degree glorified closet. Unfortunately this place seems to have a monopoly on music practice space in my neighborhood. It could definitely use some work, but for what it is it definitely gets the job done. My irritable neighbors and I greatly appreciate the service!
