They have excellent backline for guitar and bass. I am not sure if the drums belong to the studio or the drummer. When I have interacted with the staff, they have been friendly and helpful. Parking is ample. Make sure someone knows to let you in after hours, as the doors lock from the outside. I've never been the one to rent the space myself but I believe the rates are reasonable. I will keep them in mind for my own uses.

Derek (the owner) is a genuine music lover, a versatile, experienced musician as well as an incredible teacher. If there is a more laid-back, low-pressure way to buy an instrument I haven't seen it and it's clear that he is more interested in finding the right "fit" than pushing product. If you are an experienced musician looking for just the right instrument or a newcomer looking to learn, definitely check-out Gemini. If you are not local to the shop it is worth the trip, and they even offer remote lessons if you can't make it there in person.

From the moment I stepped into the studio I felt totally comfortable bringing Brett and the rest of the team on board to my project. I felt the professionalism was always top notch, but I also felt the comfortable medium you want to feel while recording an album. When I came back after the recording process to hear the final product Brett put together I was blown away. I couldn't wait to start promoting and showing my friends and family what we created. I look forward to doing business with Brett and the rest of the Cave Studios team in the future, and I'm excited to see what the studio will bring for myself and other artists in the future. I highly recommend any artist who is looking to take the next step to improving the quality of their music to go check out Cave Studio's MKE.. You will be very happy that you did!

If an artist is in need of a quick break from the recording process, they are able to utilize the indoor basketball hoop or the arcade located just outside the studio's entrance. In addition to that, the upper floor is equipped with a live music lounge providing a stage for showcases, CD release events, or a place to hang out and grab a drink between takes. The main mission for every project is to help the artist create a product in an enjoyable environment that they will be able to proudly market and use to further their musical aspirations. Cave Studios MKE refuses to let any artist leave unsatisfied.

Beware. The musicians at my wedding ceremony (including Jocelyn) played an entirely different set…read morelist than the music we agreed upon in our contract. When I told them I was dissatisfied, they accused me of lying and refused to give me a refund. They even went as far as to try to prove me wrong by sending me the set list they played, the one they said we agreed upon. This was their biggest mistake; included in that playlist were songs for "seating of family", "seating of mothers", and "unity candle ceremony", which is all well and good except for the fact that NONE OF THOSE EVENTS OCCURRED IN OUR CEREMONY! Even after I pointed this out, Jocelyn still refused to give me a refund because "the musicians played well". What hurt the most is that the song I had planned to walk down the aisle to was in tribute to my older brother who passed away the year before my wedding, and now I have to look back on my wedding day and know that the tribute never even happened.
