I'm over 50 and have been hustling in this business a long time. I have to say that, with all…read morehonestly, Rick was the most professional recording human I've worked with. I was coming in for a session after a 15 year hiatus. I was terrified. The whole experience was so fun, welcoming and masterful that I had totally forgotten to be nervous! Rick is incredibly talented and patient and gives excellent and helpful notes/suggestions to make your piece as best as it can be. I will be back for sure and I've already recommended Handwritten Recording to everyone on my Friends List. LOL. If you've got it in ya - Rick can get it outta ya. LOL

He genuinely gives a shit…read more In all seriousness, this was one of the best recording experiences I've had in this city. Rick is interested, more than capable, friendly, professional, and has mastered the ability of constructive criticism -- and yet will be the first to admit that he can be wrong in his suggestions. His rates are reasonable, his space is warm and comfortable, his gear is top notch. Ive enjoyed every moment of recording, mixing, chatting about beer (even though he trends towards the obnoxiously hoppy), and simply sharing space with him. Go make a record with him! What are you waiting for?

I've known Matt since I was young. Around 8 years ago he gave me my first production lessons. Now…read moreI'm a billboard charting artist! Sonic Palace is top notch!

I recorded a few songs here with another band a few years ago, and I will not go anywhere else…read more Matt is a PRO, and is such a great engineer! He gave great suggestions and direction for each song. I loved working with him and am telling you to look no further. This is the place you want to record your music.

I've rented spaces all over the West Town area and Sound Space is by far the highest ranking option…read morein my experience. Spaces: Although my room is on the smaller side it's fairly priced. But the best part is the sound isolation. The rooms are very well insulated to reduce the bleed from neighboring bands. I record in my space all the time and rarely have issues. It's also eerily quiet much of the time. Security: It's the most secure place I've rented from. Both perimeter doors and individual space doors seem very secure (with a special type of key). Also camera coverage throughout the building adds another layer of security. At the last place I rented we found our door kicked in - you can't kick in the doors at Sound Space, they're fortified. Neighbors: The other Sound Space renters are generally cool, friendly, and best of all respectful of the building. The bathrooms are never trashed like other spaces I've rented. I never understood why someone would rip a sink off the wall or kick a hole in the door at the other spots that they were paying to rent... animals. Neighborhood: Plenty of free street parking and relatively easy load-in/out (though I'm on the first floor). There's a 24hr Mexican spot a 4 min walk away. Management: Sam is responsive and makes payment effortless with an online portal linked to your bank account. Temp control of the rooms is reasonably handled - at least in my experience/room. bottom line: If you're looking for a spot - and this location is convenient for you - I'm confident you'll be happy here.

This is the PERFECT space for musicians to practice! Easy to enter, well-insulated, safe!read more
