My band, Festizio, is currently finishing its first studio album in historic Hyde Street Studio C…read morewith engineer, Jaimeson Durr. While the long studio days were excruciatingly tough, it's been a fantastic experience. Also, recording on a grand piano in Studio A, where artists like PJ Harvey, Prince, Green Day, Tupac, Shaq (I don't know...) and more have recorded, was a momentous occasion in and of itself. Most importantly, the atmosphere is friendly and professional, and the crackwhores outside pretty much keep to themselves. Highlights - Getting asked by a hobo if I had a girlfriend. - Realizing the hobo was actually asking all of us. - Being upset and not speaking to hobo for days until hobo learned to appreciate my company. - A culinary tour of TL eateries during lunch breaks. - Seeing shit in a crate and pondering what it really meant to me spiritually. - Successfully backing out of the thin driveway without scratching my car (yes, I have a car... how many times are you going to act surprised?). - Accepting hobo forgiveness over a select sampling of crack rocks and diet cola. - Recording an album. http://www.festizio.net

Let me begin by saying that Ty Thorpe is the sweetest guy you could ever meet. Working with him was…read morea very cool experience. He was very patient, and took the time to make the edits that needed to be made. As far the owners are concerned, though, they were very unprofessional, disengaged and unaccommodating. Originally, Elton, one of the co-owners, agreed on me coming in at 10 a.m. to film my live video, but then he left town and had Nick, the other co-owner take over. Nick, then, last minute changed the time to 11:30 a.m. His attitude was not of someone who was concerned about moving the time, either. He more or so blew my needs off when I said I can not move the time and suggested I cancel the shoot when I had people to pay to come and record a video. This put me in a very difficult position because I had a shorter window of time to record the video. Thankfully, it worked out because my and my crew did the best we could with the time we had. Another concern of mine. Elton delayed the mastering of the song by a couple of weeks. He also did a very poor job on the final master. I had a very hard time getting a hold of this man. I kindly asked him to fix it. I even said I would pay, but he ignored all of my e-mails and phone calls. He delayed my project by about 2 weeks. Now, I have someone more reliable helping me. I have to say, I will never recommend someone to this place. If these gentlemen were professional and kind, they would have not only called me up to apologize, personally, but they would have given me a free recording. That is how you keep customers happy and have them coming back, again.

Laid down vocals and 12-string guitar for a folky track. Danny B. the engineer I worked with was incredible - really flexible and meticulous with understanding my vision and making it happen. Did a three-mic setup for the guitar - and it sounds INCREDIBLE. Highly recommend for recording anything from simple folky acoustic all the way up to full band and everywhere in between. This place is straight up legit and captured my music in a way I'm not sure other studios could have. Again highly recommend working with Danny if you can. Prices are also pretty reasonable - will def be recording more here when I get the chance.

He's a fun and professional to collaborate with, and I'm beyond happy with how my song sounds as a finished product. I've been producing on Ableton for a few years, and I was specifically looking to work with someone in studio to learn and improve my mixes in general. I spent a few hours with Chris in his Oakland studio and learned so much during that time. It was one of the most informative sessions I've had since I started making music! Chris shared numerous different techniques and workflow tips with me while making suggestions and helping refine my track. It's clear that he's an expert in Ableton, but is also generous in sharing his knowledge. After our in-person session, we collaborated for another week or so via phone/e-mail through the mastering process. Throughout this process, he was thorough, patient, and gave invaluable feedback and recommendations - all while communicating effectively. Something I really appreciate about working with Chris is that he makes suggestions and gives honest feedback, but also makes sure that he respects the original vision for what the track should sound like. He makes suggestions but never pushes or makes it feel like you're straying or altering your original track. I look forward to working with Chris again! Highly recommend Mothership Studio.

Parking is sometimes tricky depending on the time of day but its FREE and you can't beat that! Overall love the creativity here and the openess for Artist to perfect their craft.

You can't help but have a smile on your face when working with Aaron, which really helps bring you back to why we all do this in the first place: because it brings us joy. And this place oozes of it.

I am sometimes given the impression that my expectations may be too high in terms of the kind of care one can expect to get in a studio - but this was the first time in my life where there was NOTHING I could say could have gone better....they were consummate professionals and absolutely ON IT with EVERYTHING, even the nit-picky musician stuff! They care SO much about the music they are making and they are real musicians themselves, not posers but highly educated and skilled. I was so particularly pleased that Ben's knowledge of music was so extensive, coming from his education at Berklee in Boston...he was SO helpful and was able to use language in talking with my drummer that clarified and nailed down concepts I was struggling to express. He also came up with some brilliant ideas to save me loads of time (and money!). I can't wait to mix my recording here when I finally get it finished! This was hands down the best studio I've ever worked in.
