Finding a recording studio with talented engineers and top of the line equipment is tough, but I…read moregot lucky with this place. I just searched "music studio near me" on Google and this place popped up. I took a chance with them and it's probably the best decision I've made this year. I've gotten more done In the past 3 months than I have in the last 4 years. I've recorded 4 hip hop EPs and working on an album as we speak and it's all A grade quality work. Dj BigVince and Kadin are super talented engineers who specialize in mixing and mastering. They work their magic to make tracks sound professional and polished. I was impressed with their attention to detail and high level expertise. The founder, Chris Cash, is the real deal. He's a multi-talented artist who can sing, rap, engineer, and make beats. His passion and dedication to music is so apparent everytime I work with him. Whether you need a few songs or a full project, Chris and his team have you covered. Just so you have an idea of Jungle Life Studio services, they offer: recording, music production, songwriting, mixing and mastering, live DJ services, and video recording/editing. Literally a one stop shop!

Really cool studio - fully equipped with tons of crazy gear - awesome outboard, every instrument…read moreyou could ever need. So many different mics - a lot of vintage ones too. 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.

This review is specifically for Chris Paxton. I've had a great experience working with Chris in…read moremixing/mastering one of my latest house tracks. 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.

Woah! Last Tuesday I spent three hours recording a song with Ethan at the dials. He's something…read moreelse; a beast of knowledge, kind direction and unequivocal support. And humor! The space he creates makes music so fun. When I had doubts, he knew just what to say to alleviate my fears and gently position me into my more creative self. What a treat! All this, and he's got the technical stuff down too. He's well versed with his equipment, knowing just what to tweak in order to achieve the sounds I wanted, something especially difficult for me (a drummer!). I was vert impressed. Thanks Ethan, I'll definitely be coming back for more!

If you are a musician with a recording project that means ALOT to you, look no further, Oscar Autie…read moreand El Cerrito Recording Studio is the place for you. I have known Oscar from teh Cuban music scene for years now, I began recording and working with him back in 2000, we have built a professional yet family like relationship. I would not go anywhere else! The studio is state of the art, and it is like home at the same time. So much warmth eludes from both Oscar and his adorable wife, Kenya who also doubles as the Business Manager.....this woman knows her stuff, and she is elegant and professional yet warm and caring. I am in the middle of recording and ending my projects but I am sure that our relationship will continue with the time. I will still keep returning for projects, and I will be in touch! Check out their studio and evaluate their portfolio, you will see why I say this place is the Cream of the Crop! Cheers!

El Cerrito Studio was the ideal recording experience, and I look forward to returning many times in…read morethe future. As a harpist, many studios are flummoxed by how hard it is to capture the real sound of my instrument - Oscar dialed it in right away. The studio itself is brand new with 2 recording booths and a clear line of vision for isolation work. One booth is medium sized and would fit up to an instrumental trio I would say, the other very large with a grand Yamaha fitting up to 8 performers approximately - just guesses. All the equipment looked brand new and the sound, the most important thing, I was thrilled with. Both the neighborhood and all the soundproofing allow total silence, which has previously been a difficulty in other studios. Not an issue at El Cerrito Studio, where we could work fast and keep all the magic. Kenya is a true host, putting me instantly at ease with her charming and welcoming personality. There's a resting area with beverages and snacks, plus their garden out back is wonderful to re-energize in. Parking is easy. In total, Kenya and Oscar work as a perfect team in setting the stage for a great recording plus delivering on the final result.
