What an AMAZING space! I've never been in a recording studio before. It was a cool treat. My friend's boyfriend is a musician, so she has been thinking about gifting him some recording hours and John offered a stellar deal. My interaction with John was so great, I wanted to support him by sharing my experience.

I found out about Peter's studio after a friend mentioned him working on his project. Turns out he…read morealso went to my alma mater for the same music program that I did, so that was an instant plus. Our band needed to have our songs mixed since the person who first did them did an average job at best. Peter's prices were great and he had an awesome attitude with optimism for how the songs would turn out, so I entrusted him with the job. The guy did amazing work and couldn't believe how our EP ended up turning out. I eventually used him again for another solo project and each time, he's always been extremely accommodating to the vision I have for my songs, while also being critical and helpful through the process. Don't pass Peter and his studio up.

I worked with Peter on the debut single for my solo project Lost Dakota (shameless plug) and was…read moretaken back by how he can turn a flat recording created in my bedroom into a song that packs the same punch comparable to a high-caliber studio. Peter was very professional and always willing to go above and beyond to ensure that all of my bases were covered prior to sending him the tracks so that they would be ready to mix on his end (which I'm thankful for since I haven't the slightest clue). I also opted to record the vocals in his studio after initial hesitance but was glad I was able to. Peter was able to give me some pointers throughout the recording session about how to deliver my vocals so that they best fit the song's energy. All in all, Peter is the go-to guy if you want to get a great sounding song for a solid price. He can be as hands-off or hands-on to the whole process as you want (though if you're smart, you'll go with a more hands-on approach since he knows his stuff). Aside from being knowledgeable, Peter is laidback, accommodating, and an overall great dude who's passion really shows through his work. 12/10 would work with him again.

She edited my concert video I did with James Burton. Not only is she totally professional, but brings a wealth of knowledge, and creativity to the table.. Add to this she is an absolute joy to work with.. We had only two hrs. to view the highlights, share notes, ideas. and a few laughs..Usually I sit in on every edit, but time would not allow this before I left for Tahoe.

I sent her notes,pictures, and we spoke once or twice. Boy. was I right! Katie did an Epic job of editing and added an extra dose of love for her craft to the project. When I watched it the night before I left for Tahoe, I was so moved that I was brought to tears..Katie you are a Pro's Pro! I can't wait for us to work on this next project with the new footage from Tahoe. Thank you Ryan and San Diego Audio Video for years of friendship and Amazing service.
