This place has seen people like Aretha Franklin and bands like Soundgarden to regular ole peeps like me and my friends doing silly stuff on a Saturday afternoon. Jason was really great to work with. Since we were getting charged by the hour, I was kind of worried that we would go over our allotted time, but Jason did not lag at all! He edited the song as he played it back to us and just made the song so much better without it being too fake or auto tuned. Moreover, I felt like he was a really great listener - didn't shoot down our ideas, but made genuine suggestions. Booking studio time by the hour with him would even be a great idea as a birthday gift. Or if you wanna brunch and sing here instead of karaoke, it isn't a bad idea either! There are couches for your friends and groupies, and we brought our own drinks haha. I am just looking for more reasons to come back!

In an age where everyone has a home recording studio, Ice House reminds us the difference between…read morean amateur sounding recording and one that is ready for the radio. After an exhaustive search for a great studio to create my first full length, I came across producer/engineer Joey Muller and Ice House, and it was probably the easiest and best decision I made. We spent several months making a great sounding record ... and despite the great studio, everyone knows it's really the person behind the gear that all makes it come together. Anyway, the highlights of the experience really need a bullet point list: - The live room sounds incredible. Drums and guitar were flat out amazing. - The gear at the studio is great - a very quiet chain using great preamps, converters, and other outboard gear. - Joey was extremely passionate and into the project, very responsible, and easy to work with. - Joey's musical talents and ear are amazing. Besides being a great piano player, his ear for pitch, melody, and song structure is very finely tuned. - The resources near the studio are expansive; there is a large music store within walking distance, as well as great healthy places to eat. - The network of professional musicians to help out on projects is huge; Joey knows many of the top musicians in the Bay Area, and they all love coming in and working at Ice House. Needless to say, if you want to make a great recording, this is the place to go. And it's actually quite reasonably priced as well. What more could you ask for?

The ownership is wonderful, our engineer is brilliant and intuitive, the climate and comfort levels are exactly what I need (I have multiple sclerosis and a room with climate control is vital if I'm doing eight-hour days), and the tech is as fantastic as the rates. Highly, HIGHLY recommended.

This recording studio is Hidden Gem on the East Bay! However, what sets this place apart from other…read morestudios is the Artist/ Owner (Michael)! He was completely professional, upbeat, and a master of sound! He totally took his time to understand my music project and asked me questions and made recommendations to help polish my initial first time recording of a specific song. Even, my vocal coach who flew in from Canada for my recording; agreed on Michael's work ethic and vast knowledge. She is a Juno Award winning artist and has recorded at some of the most well known studios in the world and mentioned that sometimes, ppl may have the the best technology, but they may not know what they are doing and produce crappy results. She mentioned I was in Great Hands and when it was time to complete my project that I should work with Michael! Trust me this was an amazing experience! Thanks Michael!

For example, agreeing to mix & master a song for me and then not having the required plug ins or even pro tools on their laptop to do so... thus not sending me revisions as requested in time for my drop date , or ever.
