AVR has everything you need to record a top-notch project. The only other reviewer on this site…read more(Scott S.) may have a personal gripe with Tom, but as Scott never set foot inside the studio, he cannot possibly review this studio from a recording artist's perspective. Here is a review of what you can expect INSIDE the studio, from a musician who has recorded three and a half projects over the last 9 years at AVR (split among two bands and an aborted solo project -- aborted entirely because I opted out; the demos sounded great...). Some things to know going in: 1. Know what you want to get out of your project and communicate that with AVR in advance. This (obviously) applies to any project at ANY studio, but don't go in and think you're going to come out with a hit record if you haven't done the homework (and the rehearsing). Plan to spend time setting up mics, especially if you have drums. The sound will end up really good, but you have to put in the time at the top. 2. Get a producer. If you can't self-produce your own songs, find (and pay) someone who can. AVR is a bounteous playground, but it comes without a producer. On the other hand, every time I have been at AVR, the engineers have known their sh*t and have helped me craft songs I've been proud of. 3. AVR is a studio located in a house in the 'hood in SE Austin, but don't judge the studio based on the facade. Who the F does that? That said, if you're not used to urban grunge and the sound of tricked-out cars with booming sub-woofers, go find a boutique studio downtown. 4. Productions will take time (duh). If you want it done right, expect it to take time. I'm not a fan of time -- I want it now now now. My only gripe about AVR is that it takes longer than you want for a project to complete, assuming you want it done right. BUT, I have never been unhappy with the final result. Any disappointment I've had is due to some lack of preparation or execution of my bands -- the studio is effing great. Be flexible, be patient, do your homework; or bring in a team that can help you get what you want FAST. The engineers at AVR will help capture your sound -- the producing is up to you. 5. It won't break your bank. 6. Customer service? It rocks. You should be so lucky to have an instant rapport with a studio owner/operator you've never met. Tom ain't no spring chicken, true, but he'll bend over backward ... okay -- this I would pay to see :) ... to make sure your project meets your expectations.

Here's the top thing I can say about ClockRight and Jason: absolutely bad ass. I recorded with him…read moreand did a completely acoustic guitar record. I still love listening to the work we did. It has magic. You can't ask for much better than this in a studio. Here's why Jason is incredible and why you need to employ him for your recording needs: First, Jason as an engineer is exceptional. He has chops as both a guitarist as well as an engineer. He knows Nuendo inside and out, he knows his mics inside and out, he knows his outboard gear inside and out, and he knows his room inside and out. Guitarists who are finicky about tone need not look any further than him. He'll get you there. Second, he listened to exactly what I wanted before we recorded. I tend to be a fan of very minimally recorded songs. I like to record with no EQ or reverb. I love the idea of mixing with the mics, setting them up to get the optimal sound first. Jason listened very patiently about this aesthetic and helped me achieve it. Third, he works HARD for you. He is a ridiculously hard worker, stopping at nothing to make sure that you are satisfied with what you have. Fourth, he is flexible. Want to record all analog? Jason can do it. Want to do an audiobook? He's got your back. You want to do a drum overdub? He's on it. Want to simply get a piece of music off your phone and onto a professional studio recording system and make it sound badass? Jason is the guy you need to talk to. Want to get your band in there to cut a really great sounding record? Go to ClockRight. I can't say enough about this guy and this studio. You won't walk away disappointed.

Recently I had a listing and wanted to feature more than just the standard photo shots. Based upon…read morewhere the listing was located ( a lush, oak tree neighborhood) I decided I wanted to have drone shots taken. I contacted Kyle expecting he'd just come over and take the drone shots. Instead he calledd me first to learn about the house & area. Then he asked me specifically what I was looking for...I had no idea how to answer that. So we set up a time to meet and he guided me and told me what he thought would work best. He showed me the images as he was doing the shoot to see if they were OK. And he kept taking even more shots than I thought I'd need. They turned out great and I and my client couldn't have been more pleased. I'd highly recommend Kyle for drone photography, and I will in the future!
