Amazing studio…read more Space - the square footage has been maximized for both the live room and the control room. Gear -- the mix of vintage and analog equipment alongside a deluxe suite of digital tools and modern amenities makes the space ideal for any sound and any genre of music Vibe - creative and cozy - the songs and sounds readily flow. There is something disarming about this space. Staff - the co owners balance sharing their musical opinion and expertise alongside encouragement and empowerment of the performer. This boosts the artists confidence while allowing them to still benefit from the critique of the producers and engineers. Great studio. 12/10

These guys are brilliant, fully approachable and highly recommended. Their skill set is broad and I…read morehave had them help me with two projects. First, they revamped and tuned my personal studio space to fix all of the problem areas, proving that they have the expertise, sensitive ears and the right equipment to gather the relevant data and track changes in real time. They tracked and produced a solo record for me as well, allowing me all of the creative license I needed to feel like the project was truly mine and sounded like me. They have done far more complicated work for other emerging artists with astounding results. You can catch them in action on social media. I would recommend dropping by the studio and starting a conversation with them about your dreams for your next project. You'll love the way you sound!

The one I recorded in had this awesome Moulin-Rouge vibe and it was tricked out with everything you could ever need. As a lowly narrator, I can't tell you all the details about tech specs and whatnot, but I trust my publishing house only books the best. Tim was the most warm and friendly guy and put me right at ease (which goes a long way in this industry and in life in general--some folks are just technically competent but completely relationally incompetent, unfortunately). It was so cool to get a chance to get a peek into his awesome microcosm tucked away in Highland Park. Highly recommend.

This review is long overdue, but the praise can't go unsung for Tim at York Recording. My band…read morerecorded our debut album there and couldn't be more pleased with every part of the experience. We bumbled around with a couple amateur producers and home studios before discovering York. This is the real deal if you want to record, mix, edit or master anything resembling legitimate-sounding music, voice-overs or podcasts. Tim took the time to meet us ahead of committing and gave us a great vibe and tour of his studio. Once we pulled the trigger, he was super professional but also relaxed and fun to be around. It was like recording with an old friend, but in a high-end studio with top-notch gear. The vibe of York also attracted us: tastefully decorated and adorned with cool stuff, not to mention the cherry vintage gear he has available. As a drummer, I salivated at some of his snares! Guitars, drums, keys, amps, mics and pres, all sweet as pie. Not to mention his digital stuff, high-end emulators and plugins all hooked into a HD ProTools rig. Best of both worlds. Speaking of which, Tim is literally the Billy the Kid of ProTools. He's smoking fast and the only thing that held us up was us! We tracked our entire album over two weekends which is crazy quick (it can take anywhere from a few weeks to months for an album) and returned for mixing. Because of the efficiency, we ended up spending less than on our 6-song E.P. that didn't sound half as good. Tim gave us sage advice and lent himself to produce, but also gave us complete creative control. His ears are amazing and his decades of engineering experience really showed. It really helped us at every step. I'm still amazed at how good the mix sounds on every system I play it on -- car, phone, earbuds. It just translates so well and I'm even more convinced than before (not that I doubted) that his informed intention behind every decision was the best for our project. We look forward to working with him again in the future! Thanks Timbo! P.S. We were there this past summer in the middle of COVID-19. Tim wears a mask in-session and keeps his place meticulously clean and sanitized. There was plenty of space to keep distance and we felt very safe.

Dave is a lifelong music maker and it's obvious. It's obvious by his (very hand-picked and constantly-evolving) collection of outboard gear and vintage microphones, by his scarily-sharp ear (can pinpoint problem frequency in kick drum from two football fields), and by his humble, head-down attitude towards music. I've been in and out of studios since my first summer cable-wrapping internship at Studio West in high school (2008)--from beachy San-Diego home studios to SF bay middle-of-the-roaders to Stephen Still's home-studio and Dave Aron's (Snoop Dog, Dr. Dre, Prince) platinum-lined monster--and I go to Dave. Because folks with his talent and integrity and unique amount of personal (and monetary) investment are near-impossible to find. This place is the real-deal. Go here to make some magic.
