I've been recording with Asaf Fulks & The OC Recording Company since October 2007. To say that this is one of the highest quality studios in Southern California is an understatement. In today's music landscape, it is not difficult to go out and buy an interface and a microphone and tell everyone you have a recording studio. But, when you step in OC Recordings, you understand immediately why so many years of experience in recording, mixing and mastering define a true creative space. Asaf Fulks is a true professional that takes his craft as serious as his own life. He is not a stagnant engineer, but a creator that is constantly on top of industry standards and trends making this place the perfect place for aspiring artists to get industry standard work done. While I've witnessed this space produce just about every genre of music, voice-over, commercial and even artwork; I must say that I will never not be impressed by his ability to mix over a 2-track mp3 for so many hip-hop artists that walk through the door. If you're unsure about where to go in Orange County, don't be. OC Recording is without a doubt exactly where you want to be. read more

Just finished up a 5 hour recording session for my daughter. It was our first time ina recording studio and we couldn't be happier with Asaf and team. Asaf is a master at his craft, kind, and was eager to offer helpful suggestions without being overbearing. I highly recommend OC Recording Studio. read more

Recorded two songs with Asaf and just recently reached out for him to help me out with my home studio so I could record raw files and have him master them and he prompted me to "take his school class" for him to help me and I think that's just poor. Money hungry move, I was interested in his class before even asking for his help with my set up but I'm running Logic Pro x and he teaches w/ pro tools. Just not a very good taste in my mouth after his short replies and being pushed to do his class. read more

See all

I'm a session musician hired by various artists and producers in Cali, Miami, Texas and Tennessee. Being a working musician (or in any trade at that) is always a situation where you need to develop a good rapport with others as well as maintain your integrity. With that said, i've had some "not so great" experiences working with some studios ( i wont mention) (engineers & staff) that carried this sense of "i'm more important that you" attitude. That kind of environment is unfortunately stuff we have to deal with when we are hired to work. Needless to say, i do my part and keep my cool :) And of course I've worked at other known Industry studios that blew me away haha... When i was sent over to OC Recording, I noticed a completely different kind of environment. The studio is located upstairs in a business type suite. Though smaller than some of the studios i'm used to working in, it makes up for in terms of character and attitude. I met the owner who happens to be the main engineer too (came to open the studio for the 2 day session). My first impression was the pride they have, not in what they are, but in what they do for a living just as i do. There was no big headedness but rather friendliness and professionalism. The engineer's skill set was top notch and he worked efficiently as well. The artist came in to observe and was also happy with the workflow. All in all, i'm pretty much summing it up with this: How we carry ourselves determines what we're attracted to. This place was a top notch studio to me because of the positive relationship i established and the quality of work put in by the staff. Thumbs up :) ps. oh i forgot to mention some of the big details!!. The Gear haha.. I'm soo used to being in the sound booth, i forget about all the toys out.. They have some world class preamps, mics, software, verbs, etc. But the real value is found in the person who knows how to use them properly.. They definitely do read more

Whoa, whoa, whoa... If you're looking for a qualified and honest recording studio stop in and let Asaf and the OC Recording Studio bring your music to life! I've known Asaf for years and have spent many hours at the studio. I've recommended him to my friends and they have all been happy and satisfied with the outcome of their project. Oh and by the way, if the OC Recording Studio is good enough for the Los Angeles Clippers then I'm guessing that Asaf can help you with your next work of hit! read more

Love the sound engineer of OC recording studio. I ran into 7 different studios and blew my money on producers who doesn't want to master a song like it's finished. Only Asaf makes you sound like a pro ready for the Grammys. Beyond 5 stars. read more

Very talented artist, producer and engineer that I've worked with multiple times. Asaf will bring out the best you have. He uses great equipment and has really perfected his craft over the years. I highly recommend him to anyone looking to record or engineer music. read more

The OC Recording Co is incredible. Beautiful and stuffed full of the best equipment. He is knowledgeable and professional. He worked with my cousin on a few tracks that I was part of and the experience was always easy, fun and creative. I listened to many of the tracks that have come out of this studio and love the quality of work that is produced here. Highly recommended! read more

I took classes at the OC Recording Company for the past six months to study music production. I could tell that Asaf put in a lot of work during his experience in the field for many years. His book that we cover is very in-depth and he was very VERY patient with me at all classes. I am sure there are many talented engineers and producers but Asaf is all that PLUS a good teacher. The studio has a very comfortable atmosphere and if you are into art, you will find a lot of that in this studio. When I first came here, I knew NOTHING about music production but after our classes for the past six months, I uploaded my first song '-^ read more

I'm not sure if the one star rating has a grudge with the company but I have spent many sessions here...at least 20... and I have also spent time at 17th street studios and a few other in LA. I've had the most success here. First of all, Asaf knows what he is doing. From recording to mastering, he's got it figured out. He works fast and he works efficiently. He works with the BEST equipment ANY studio has to offer. In regards to professionalism, he gave his undivided attention to me, all the rooms are acoustically treated, his Sony mic is the best in the game, and the atmosphere is awesome (cool lights, paintings, and design). I stopped by the other day and he was working on a beat. Oh ya... he makes sick ass beats too. I recommend this place to anyone and everyone. read more

I've had the opportunity to work with Asaf at OC Recording for a number of years. The quality of the production, mixing, overall know-how and professionalism was hard to beat. His understanding how to get the most out of his equipment, and our performances made for some pretty memorable results. You'll be dealing with a creative, technically savvy producer/engineer with a great ear and a commitment to getting it done right. I continue to recommend him. read more

I recorded my professional voiceover demo at The OC Recording Company and it was amazing, love this place!! Fabulous vibe, very clean, professional and technologically advanced!! Asaf is THE BEST!!!! check out my voice demo at www.genevievebeals.com -- recorded at The OC Company!! read more

I've been traveling to the Oc Recording Company from Palmdale for about 11 Years now. Asaf Folks Has been my go to engineer for all my major projects. He never lets me down. He is totally in tune with the music and works super fast. Not only does he get the job done but he knows his craft very well and will mix up your digital files to make a guitar sound live for instance many tricks up this mans sleeve. I have access to many amazing studios in the Los Angeles and Burbank area but asaf is worth the drive. 5 stars is not enough. And I read one negative comment on here that made me laugh in no way is this man money hungry. He offers a service and never plays away from what he offers which makes him very dedicated to what he truly does. Asaf is a kind heart and the Oc Recording Company is a family not just a place of business. Trust is everything. read more

What a man of integrity! I've known Asaf since our college years and he has natural talent and an unbeatable passion for music. He has folded these things into his studio and developed a quality business that produces music defined by precise and meticulous engineering. He's also a great guy. I can't wait to see him again! read more

Asaf is the man! definitely has an ear for mixing and his arrangements is next level. Total professional and love the space. I'll be back Asaf, dope session today. read more

For the past year, I have been going to this recording studio to get all my audio recorded for my documentary television series we've been developing. I am very happy with their professionalism and quality that is delivered. read more

Professional industry quality never fails at creativity and providing the best sound possible

I just completed my first album which was mixed, mastered, and partially recording by Asaf. PHENOMENAL QUALITY! His combination of knowledge & equipment is unmatched in OC in my experience to date. The setting is plush and spacious. And, Asaf can execute anything requested. He helps the artist get a serious listen by delivering industry-standard quality be-it production or engineering. I look forward to continuing to build with The OC Recording Company in the future! read more

Asaf at The OC Recording Studio is an absolute professional. I don't know what the other reviewer is talking about but my time here was amazing. Premium facilities and the friendliest producer I've had the pleasure of working with. Once you step into their recording studio you know they mean business. read more

His studio is clean, spacious and homie and he has great attention to detail. The quality of his work is fantastic ! We absolutely loved our experience with him!!! The OC RECORDING COMPANY delivers every time ! Thank you for the wonderful memories !!! read more

I was researching recording studios and stumbled upon Asaf's website. It was close by so I decided to give it a chance. I was really impressed at how incredibly nice Asaf and his team was. When I arrived there was another group in the studio recording and I couldn't believe how incredible they sounded. Go to You Tube and search for "My Hero & Asaf Productions - Breakout". Wow. Keep in mind this video was done with a $0 budget at his offices! There is a huge amount of talent at this studio. I think its only a matter of time until one of his artists hits the big time. I know its inevitable I will see him on the MTV music awards one day. He took my idea for my recording and turned it into something really great - All from scratch. I am very proud of what he produced for me. I'm not sure what the other reviewer Spoken T. was referring to.. but all the pricing from start to finish was more than reasonable. I actually asked Asaf why he doesn't raise his prices. I felt it was a great deal compared to other studios. I will always recommend this studio to anyone I meet. Thanks Asaf !!! read more

This place is awesome really hands on, they put great ideas in to your work as an artist. I have done two songs here and loved both of them. every time I came I learned something new. Overall great place to record. read more

I attended the OC recording school for audio engineering. Asaf is a great guy and a very talented engineer. This is by far the best place in Orange County to learn digital audio production and recording/mixing techniques. After completing the course I have walked away a much better musician and engineer! Thanks Asaf! read more

I spent more than 6 months in 2018 recording an album at OC Recording Studio and was delighted to find Asaf. He has so much experience, so much training, and he was able to guide me through the process with confidence and great suggestions but without getting in the way. He has great musical sensitivity and an appreciation for many kinds of music. It's been nearly a decade since I spent much time in a studio, and the software Asaf uses is just short of magical. He is expert in so many programs and techniques -- I highly recommend OC Recording Studio for most any band and most any project. read more

Such a great time recording with Asaf! Made my first time recording such a breeze! He's an awesome musical engineer and made my whole crew feel so at home. Professional studio that I'd recommend to literally anyone wanting a great product and outcome! read more

I can not express how satisfied I am with Asaf's amazing work!!! I went to his studio to record two songs to play on my wedding which i have never done before!!! one song was for my finace a song he proposed to and the song we will be dancing as our first dance as a married couple (which he has no idea of) and the other song was for my amazimg mother... Both songs came out amazing!!!!! Asaf's is very sweet and makes you feel comfortable and not to mention he is very professional and knows he stuff... So Asaf once again thank you thank you thank you very much I'm so excited I can't stop listening to both songs!!! So if you ask me if I recommend Asaf most definitely If I had more stars to rate him and his company believe me I would mark everyone single one of them... read more

if you're looking for a qualified sound engineer - this is a good place. if you're looking for a helpful person to be in the moment and stay involved during your recording session - run fast! not only is the place way overpriced, there's little engagement offered for the person working hard in the vocal booth. between texting and other time wasters, this engineer has the attention span of a horsefly and will offer very little help or just overall support while you sweat away inside the booth. he demands you book 2 hours at a time at minimum AND requires a booking deposit just to hold the spot. now, if you have a crazy schedule, don't expect him to be reasonable and flexible BUT should some time conflicts arise on HIS end, you are absolutely required to adhere to any changes or he will just blow you off. i would not recommend this studio to ANYONE and urge you to go elsewhere. this is a very hardcore industry and unless you have tons of money and time to throw away, continue your search for another place to record. hope this review sheds some light on this place. KEEP SEARCHING :) read more
