I needed to get two singles recorded but, like most of us musicians, I was on a budget. For $250 a song, Daniel learned my songs, laid down instrumental tracks for me, mixed, and mastered my songs until they sounded absolutely fantastic. He also provides unlimited studio time to make sure that the songs are done to the customer's complete satisfaction. Did you hear that? UNLIMITED STUDIO TIME FOR A FLAT FEE. The entire time, he was very pleasant, professional, and was every bit of a perfectionist as I was when it came to making the tracks as tight as possible. He'll work with anyone's budget, because unlike many of the other studios out there, he cares much more about creating a quality product for his clients over making a ton of money. He takes great pride in what he does, and it shows in the quality of his work. You can listen to samples of his work here: danielmartinproductions.com And you can listen to the work he did for me here: soundcloud.com/lauren-michelle-hayes Please call him up at 714-396-3002 to schedule your session. You won't be disappointed. :-)

There's no other practice rooms, so you don't hear some other band pounding through the wall. You may hear some drum lessons or otherwise going on next door in the Rockstars school. (which this is part of - you go talk to them when you arrive) Our band plays pretty loud, and the PA could be heard clearly over the instruments. Actually, some of the clearest vocals we've had. Usually the smaller spaces cause too much feedback. This space allows you to spread out a little and keep the mic away from the speakers. We didn't use the backline gear aside from the PA, so no opinion there. Private restroom inside the unit is great, too. At some spots, you have to wait in line when you're in the middle of a rehearsal... paying by the minute to stand around. Private air conditioner was cool, too. (no pun) It kept the room comfy. All in all, great deal for a great space. We'll be back.

The text of that review follows and I still stand by it: "I wholeheartedly give my recommendation and referral to anyone considering doing business with Keith Taylor and Custom Taylored Studios. In my own case, I regularly utilize Keith's CD duplication services for smaller runs (usually 200 or less at a time), but he efficiently handles jobs both larger and smaller than my usual order. His work is always first-rate, his prices are always affordable and competitive ... and Keith consistently has the fastest turn-around time of any place I've ever checked. On the recording side of things, the studio could only be called a home studio in terms of location and comfort ... it's state-of-the-art whether you're seeking intimate recordings or fuller sounding productions. Keith clearly has the talent and experience to help you get the best out of your own talents and resources. From start to finish, helping you realize your vision is simply one of the things he does best! Finally, although all of these things are important, perhaps the underpinning of everything is Keith himself. He's fair, forthright and when he gives you his word, it's a done deal. In a business where flakes and bad attitude are all too common, Keith Taylor is a shining exception. With Keith Taylor and Custom Taylored Studios, the play on words is more than just for fun, it's the way business is done with your complete satisfaction in mind!"

the guy below sounds stupid and uneducated. for the most part sounds like the guy below bump his head and never quite came back haha Asaf is an all out, AMAZING and OUTSTANDING producer. Everything the guy said below sounds like a complete idiot, Asaf is very pofessional and knowledgeable to what he is doing He listens and work with you to try to make you the best you can be. If you think he's harsh you probably cant handle being a musician PERIOD! Hardwork and hard criticism is sometimes neccessary in becoming the best. Asaf assures you that you can do it all if you really apply yourself. Dont be alarmed in the review below, again, its just an idiot who is uneducated about the business Asaf and the Oc Recording Company is doing for their customers, Which is a creative envorinment, nice and friendly staff, and hardworking people who are willing to do what is neccessary in getting the job done correctly, and professionally by an OUTSTANDING PRODUCER! read more

Other places either never returned my phone calls because they thought my project was not good enough for them or they gave me the runaround. This studio called me back immediately even though they were closed and were able to squeeze me in since the other places screwed me over. Right away you can tell they care about what they do and they were asking questions and picking my brain as to what I wanted accomplished. I've gone to other places where they just rush you along and give you a bad quality product. Asaf cares about the quality of the product that gets put out there, so he really makes sure he asks the right questions and takes his time. They have a good team going here and surprisingly are very fast and efficient while making sure the quality is good. Not only was I satisfied I ended up purchasing more time and will be coming back. Those other places lost my business but this one has earned it. Highly recommended! read more

After several disappointing sessions at other recording studios, I gave OC recording a call. All i can say is wow....the difference is remarkable. Not only does my song sound infinitely better, but Asaf is the best engineer and producer I've ever worked with. His pro tools skills are unbelievable and he simply knows music. It's like he's in my head, cause I don't have to tell him what I want before it's already done. He's is engaged in my music like it's his and offers excellent feedback when im in the booth. Plus he is really fun to work with. The Studio is beautiful, clean, welcoming and artistic. I simply feel comfortable here and it shows in my recordings. I'm not an expert on gear but his mic sounds amazing. I researched it and it costs more than my car lol. I now understand why not all studios are equal and why OC Recording is by far the best! read more

As a celebrity public relations strategist in the music industry for over 25 years, it is such a distinct pleasure to highly acknowledge the professional work, ethics, above reproach standards and expertise The OC Recording Company brings to the industry. I have known Asaf for over seven years and recommending The OC Recording Company without question. It was also an awesome endeavor to invite him to be a guest on my client's celebrity driven podcast on a few occasions. In the LA and surrounding markets, this is first the place to consider for any upcoming projects. I also recommend learning more about their state of the art educational training in studio recording/engineering. I am so pleased to be connected with The OC Recording Company.

Working in the studio with Asaf has been a priceless experience! Learning hands on at the OC Recording Company and shadowing live sessions gave me an understanding of the studio that could not be taught in a classroom. Asaf explains concepts in ways that make sense, plus studying one on one allowed me to learn at my own pace. Not only did I develop a strong technical skill set, but I also learned what it takes to succeed in the everyday studio business. Now, I'm working in the field and it's a dream come true!
