I had a very negative experience at Blcklbl studio…read more 1. I was told that the small 44 key MIDI keyboard they had would give me a normal piano sound when recorded and mixed. This was not true. It sounded like a cheap keyboard without any sustain to it. 2. Alec accidentally forwarded an email that was meant for his business partner in which he referred to me as a "problem" and because of that I was only getting one revision. That first revision was of poor quality. 3. After insulting me, they still didn't do the work I asked and paid them to do. I nicely called him out on the accidental email and he apologized but I felt that it was insincere because he didn't even try to improve my experience with them. I am very disappointed with Blcklbl. It was the worst studio experience I have had. I sincerely hope that this review and that of another unhappy customer help them to improve their work ethic and customer service skills.

I got my first guitar in July 1960. I've bought and sold 1,000's of guitars., amps, drums,…read morekeyboards, etc... No exaggeration. I owned a 1,500 square foot musical instrument shop from 1998 to 2007. So I know equipment. I've visited Skip's several times over the past few decades. But my last visit was long enough ago that it was at the former Watt Ave location. This new store is visually impressive. Plenty of space which gives the room a majestic feel. It's dramatically lighted. The overhead music system is not obnoxiously loud. It's a fun place to browse. The inventory is all good quality. Every item is a real musical instrument, not a junky toy. No Amazon type crap here. The 5 staff members I interacted with were all friendly and helpful. I stopped in with my family to buy some Xmas gifts for the grandchildren and a few cables for myself. I pre-shopped the items on the Skip's website. The items were in stock. We bought a mini electric guitar for the 6 year old grand niece who actually knows already how to play some basic chords. We also got her a small amplifier, cables, guitar strap... Everything she will need to start her musical journey. Pricing is pretty standard MSRP. I know the price structure at wholesale and retail level and was not going to haggle for a discount out of respect. Profit margin after all the business expenses is meager. There's a high riser stage for in store events & concerts. There's also programs when students perform. Great experience for students to begin public performances (Where, hopefully, they get prepared for paychecks when they graduate to playing at bar gigs, weddings, birthdays and maybe even the big time (if they work really, really hard)). If you or you little virtuoso wants some gear I highly recommend that you shop here rather than at Guitar Center. Shop local, support a family owned business rather than a corporation.

The transitions were seamless, the song choices were perfect, and it was a lot of fun to see all the guest dancing through out the night.

If you want an unforgettable party and an stress-free experience, we highly recommend Rory for the Job!

The staff are very approachable and down to earth people. I plan on taking guitar lessons there soon :) If you're looking for a great environment and overall positive experience with actual musicians and people that know what they're doing in the music industry, give UpRock Audio a try. Take a tour, get a feel for the place and the staff and I promise you wont be disappointed. (TIP: They also host OpenMic's too which feature some great local artists)

I can't say enough good about our studio session at Paradise Studios. Craig Long is a total pro,…read moreextremely capable, and a whole lot of fun to work with. My ensemble, Rendezvous, had a tall order: record eight songs in one day. We couldn't have done it if it weren't for Craig's skill and efficient use of time. We spent another day refining the mix, doing some pitch correction and fixing some bad notes and minor timing problems. In the end, we got a great demo and it didn't cost us an arm and a leg. We plan on going back to Paradise with our next recording project. There simply is no better studio in Sacramento than Paradise. Highly recommend!

Conveniently tucked behind some auto repair shops and a arc shop. No big visible signage for you to know you're there. So it's not of a hunt. But we found it. I had the pleasure of working here providing some BTS footage for a friend on his music video shoot. That big Cyclorama was everything we could ask for. Plus the facility operator was excellent with helping on setups and ideas. The lighting was perfect. My only hiccup was how damn hot it gets in there!!! lol gotta keep those fans blow full swing to counter that heat.. other than that it's pretty perfect. You can fit about two cars in there comfortably nothin more. There seating, water and a mini fridge on hand in case they're needed. I recommend this spot to anyone looking for good rates and help on filming location with complete studio setups available. Definitely a must rent.
