Gravity Studios is incredible. From start to finish, the whole experience was smooth and easy. Ramsey, the studio manager, was on top of everything -- super clear communication, super organized, and genuinely cared about making the session great. Nothing felt stressful or rushed at any point. Danny, our engineer, absolutely crushed it. He was fast, dialed in, and knew exactly how to get the best out of the session without overthinking anything. The vibe stayed relaxed, the takes came together quickly, and it just felt like working with someone who really knows what they're doing. The files came back insanely fast and were perfectly organized -- which honestly matters more than people realize. No chasing, no confusion, just solid work delivered quickly. One of the best studio experiences we've had. Can't wait to go back. read more

Great staff, unbelievable setup. Would recommend to any musician serious about recording!

This is the most unprofessional business I've ever encountered. I've been using Gravity Studios for over five years and never had a problem until now. I gave them a detailed list of revisions to be made, and the engineer (Dan) didn't adhere to it. There was also an issue of synths and an effect missing in the final mix. They ignored me for a week, then maliciously declined to finish it with no valid reason. They don't care about you or your project. All they're thinking about is getting every cent out of you that they can. They came up with arbitrary excuses such as there being a two-hour minimum booking. I shouldn't be penalized when errors out of my control are contained in the mix! They also mentioned something about not contacting an engineer outside of the studio, but I've done it before with another engineer at Gravity without a problem. This is commonplace at most studios as it facilitates the process! Ramsey never had an issue with this. It was when they realized they wouldn't be getting any more money out of me that this became an issue. Please go somewhere else. It was a traumatic experience working with them. There are plenty of better studios that are way more economical and will treat you with dignity. These people are unethical. read more

This is the best place to record on planet earth. Bar none. The Gravity team are consummate pros. They created a terrific vibe throughout the session. We were a bunch of amateur musicians, and they treated us with tremendous respect. Rock on. read more

Gravity is just one of those places that you never want to leave. Every project that I've mixed there has sounded amazing. Doug did a killer job with both mixing and mastering on our last album. I don't know my studio gear well enough to tell you all about what they have, but I do know that they have incredibly nice stuff, and they definitely know how to use (which is what really matters anyway). If I could, I would just live at gravity and never go home. read more

Gravity Studios is like a dream every time i've walked in. The collection of Analog and digital equipment is purely amazing. The fact that they have changed with the times and now switched to a summing system shows how focused they are. Everything i've ever heard from here has been stellar and truly genius. I can't say anything terrible about gravity. The location is not too far from the Damen blue line stop and there is good eating around if you're planning on making it a late session. read more

We have had two absolutely exceptional experiences at Gravity Studios. The staff becomes invested in your project and shares a strong interest in making sure it turns out to be the best it can be. With constant feedback and support from the engineer, our experiences have been incredibly productive and we're beyond happy with the results. We look forward to our next opportunity to return to Gravity Studios and work with the strong, dedicated, and talented team. read more

Gravity has helped the students and staff from Visible Music College Chicago produce four projects now. Great gear. Great work ethic. Great music coming from their entire team. read more

Waste of time and money. The engineer originally assigned to my project left Gravity halfway through. The new engineer apparently didn't know which takes were keepers and which weren't. It was like starting over. The original takes were recorded at such a low volume level, it was impractical for me to use them for anything. I asked if they could use their millions of $$ of gear to increase the volume level, they said, "No, that can only happen in mastering." BS. When I decided to take the drum tracks and record elsewhere, they wanted to charge me 6 hours studio time to give me the drum tracks I already paid for. The only time they appeared interested in my project is when they were selling me the time. I don't think they are competent, I don't think they are ethical. Has the vibe of a place that used to be relevant. read more

Yes, you should definitely record here. This place has been around since I was a young Tot.

We've recorded three projects here and they are all great. Doug McBride is an amazing Producer/Engineer with lots of album credits. Starting into our next one right now and we can't wait! read more

My experience with Gravity Studios was amazing from start to finish. I worked with Grey and Julian, and I appreciated that they were as excited about my project as I was. They were flexible with scheduling sessions, timely in getting my files out to me, easy to contact, and super helpful in answering my questions every step of the way. It's clear that this is a studio of expert sound engineers who genuinely invest in their clients. I'd record with them again in a heartbeat. read more

Doug, Tim, and Co. were absolutely great. Doug McBride has a great list of accomplishments in the music industry for a reason. He's humble, excited and passionate about music, and comes across as a lifetime learner. This also describes the kinds of people he hires so the atmosphere at Gravity is one where you feel comfortable but also where you feel pushed and challenged to do the best work your capable of doing. Seriously had a great experience there. read more

Doug did a stellar job on my tracks. I had three tracks mastered, and though the second track was significantly longer than the other two (about 8 minutes), the guys at Gravity offered a fair rate for the whole deal. Upon agreeing to a mastering session they send you a questionnaire, which efficiently allows both you and Gravity to get on the same page about the mastering job without ever meeting in person (though that certainly is an option). Beyond the questionnaire, I spoke with Sam multiple times over the phone, who managed the whole project and prepared it for mastering by Doug. The whole job was done within a week. Would definitely recommend! read more

I wanted to surprise my girlfriend (who's an amazing singer) with the opportunity to record her favorite tracks at Gravity Studios. The staff (I worked with Zack and Jacob) were very friendly and helped me curate the perfect 3-hour session! Each session is with a dedicated, experienced sound engineer who will help guide you through the equipment and fine tune the audio to pick the perfect tunes for your private recording (sent to you via Dropbox, CD, or USB). They have multiple studios, including a larger one with all kinds of instruments for you to use. We worked with Dan, who is a sound engineering wizard! He was put in unfamiliar territory with the classical Indian song she wanted to sing, but he was a rockstar with helping us engineer the perfect audio! We had such a great time that we look forward to returning and working with Dan and Gravity Studios again as she continues to explore her singing passion! read more

Gravity Studios did the mastering for one of my favorite bands of all time. Myllhouse! If everything else is as good as the 3 song demo I heard, I'm sure all Gravity's clients go home happy! read more

The team at Gravity Studios is an exceptional crew. From the jump, I was really impressed with their professionalism. Responses via email were prompt and phone calls that we scheduled days in advance were always made exactly on time. Little things like that immediately began to form an impression on me and set them apart from other studios I've worked with. I needed studio musicians brought in. They took the time to listen to my demos, discuss the project, and identified the perfect match based on the genre and vibe of the songs I was recording. Even before I started tracking, I felt like my project was in great hands. Once things got rolling, the studio experience far surpassed my expectations. The session was relaxed, yet focused. Julian is a truly talented engineer. Dude knows his stuff. It's a great feeling knowing that your can place total trust in the person at the controls. In the end, I couldn't have been happier with the songs we produced. I'll be back soon to record some more. If you're trying to get the most out of the recording experience and want to take your songs to the next level, Gravity is the place. read more
