I cannot say enough good things about Tyrone. My review of this place is long overdue. Not only…read moredoes it have all equipment a hip hop artist needs, but Tyrone will help you grow as an artist. For many years I couldn't make the music the quality I wanted. After visiting about 6 years ago Tyrone taught me every technique with flowing, syllables and writing to make next level music. He pointed out every flaw I had and we were able to still make proper music the day I learned. I then rebooted all of my music. Even though I made music for over 10 years most of what I knew was self taught and it only got me so far. All I needed was little tweaks and it was what made all the difference for me. The Dope Spot isn't there for money, they're around to help make quality music.

Tyrone really has something good going here at the Dope Spot. I booked the studio to run a…read moreproduction session utilizing both the live recording area and the control room and had a great time. The Dope Spot runs industry standard software (Pro Tools) and has an impressive mic locker to choose from. The Neuman TLM and Shure SM7B were my favs. Outboard gear is available too. This definitely isn't a neighborhood home studio . Each time I've been back, Tyrone has always taken the time to find out specifics on my session and what i would need. He also has a solid network of producers and engineers so everything i needed was either in-house, or a solid referral away.

My friends and I really enjoyed this spot and it was dope as hell I love the vibe, how neatly the…read morerooms were, and at an amazing price for two hours! ($30 if I'm not mistaken) A solid 10/10 if I wasn't limit to 5...

I got to record a song of mine here recently, and working with the HNE team has really helped ease a lot of my anxiety about recording & releasing my own music. Elliot is extremely knowledgable and does a good job guiding the recording & mixing process so that you feel really confident in the final product. I can't recommend this place enough!

Very unprofessional. The owner, Elliot Koenig, had interns running the session and they were on…read moreTikTok most of the time. As an artist paying for studio time, that's incredibly distracting and disrespectful. I did not feel valued as a client. After leaving, I was repeatedly asked to rebook, instead of being asked how the session went. Bad vibes kill creativity. I would never go back. UPDATED Feb 1-11:24pm After leaving this review, the owner Elliot messaged me AGAIN on Instagram. Took zero accountability and only cares about his image. NOT the client. To address your comment, I asked for a discount, cuz your interns run the session. As Indie artists we have to fight to protect a space we paid for. Often times we don't have other options in the area so we suck it up, but no more! This is not a good studio. I would not go back. Look at how he responds to feedback...

Prime Royal Studios, is a diamond on the rough. You would never know it was there, but the music…read morethey create out of this place is mind blowing and ear tickling. Rich, one of the producers there is professional, extremely talented and one of the best producers I've ever come across. His vocal coaching is top tier, as he creates an environment that can put any nervous musician at ease. I've done numerous recordings at many different studios, even my own, and I still choose to go to Rich for any important project I need done. Trust is everything to me. With Rich, I don't have to worry about him putting out anything that I think sounds under par. His level of expertise and writing skills has help elevate me in my trade as well. I thank Prime Royal studios for all they've done for me and my projects, and there's nowhere else I would go to record my music. Prime Royal Studios, amazing!!!

This is a great recording studio. I took my song and his friends (they make music) here and it was…read moreamazing. we had a three hour session and they made a song. The audio engineer was very patient with my son and his friends. They were writing down lyrics for the rap AT the recording studio, while the audio engineer was converting his song on spotify into his protools. Great microphone. An the recording quality was great, watching him move around protools sop fast was hypnotizing. The mix sounded great and he was teaching my sons friend how to play different chords on the guitar. He also taught him how to solo. He has a great keyboard with many sounds including a really good sounding rhodes, clavinet, and piano. He shared a lot of wisdom and showed my son where to get protools and how to use it. My son and one of his friends rapped, and he was patient, giving them as many tries as they would like. he also added beat drops, and quickly mixed the song down. He airdropped it to me. My son, his friends, and I were overall completely satisfied with his performance, patience, swiftness, wisdom, and kindness. I highly reccomend this studio, and hope you will give it a try!
