Giving this spot a new review just to write about how lovely working with Elliot & his team has been as of late. 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! read more

Very unprofessional. The owner, Elliot Koenig, had interns running the session and they were on TikTok 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... read more

Just got my masters back and everything sounds so great!!! Not only that , but the entire experience was easy, surprisingly affordable, and above all else, a ton of fun! They were also very well stocked! I'm a guitar player, so I was all glittery eyed when I saw amp and guitar rooms. Yes, rooms! Best of all is the vibe. It just feels like you'd supposed to be making music there. The staff is knowledgeable and well rounded. My genre is more rock , but I could really see any artist having the same amazing experience that I did. I can't what to record there again, and I can't imagine recording anywhere else, unless someone else is paying for it Huuuuuge shoutout to Elliot, Jake, and Ace read more

A fun and memorable experience- Thank you to Elliot for facilitating a fantastic studio experience. The mixes sounded great and working through the tunes was a joy with Elliot. Looking forward to my next session with Elliot at Hear No Evil Studio. read more

Been recording there for a year and a half. I said i was just going to record one song, but I keep coming back. Elliot (owner:operator:sound engineer) is easy to work with. Great atmosphere for creativity. They have all the gear and equipment you would ever need. Great for all genres, podcasts, audio books. Affordable rates. Need a rapper, they got one. Need a banjo player? They got one too, Elliot will go out of his way to get things just right. Great place for noobs all the way to Grammy nominees. Ace is a manager/sound engineer and he is also a great vocal coach if you need one. True professionals there. They are the experts and the best in OC! read more

My little brother Marcus loves making music and we came here while on vacation to allow him to express himself creatively and produce a song. Acer and Jake worked with Marcus through the process and did an amazing job doing it. They allowed him to express himself creatively and produce a song he was proud to call his own. Elliot, the owner, was quick in response for booking and worked with me to find the perfect engineers for the job. He made the process smooth and effortless to make this happen. Will definitely be coming back the next time we are in the area. read more

Look no further: this is the best studio in the O.C.. Third year of working with Elliot and amazing is still getting better all the time! He has an amazing team of engineers and interns who mirror Elliot's kindness and professionalism. In my most recent session, I brought in a children's chorus and we worked through three songs. As always, Hear No Evil was a safe haven where talent and art are given room to grow and improve. We felt so supported the entire time and our mixes turned out great!

This studio puts out amazing sound. Elliot has an excellent ear and his music IQ is off the charts. He was able to make my hideous voice decent which is no small feat. Elliot is also a fantastic engineer. Very strong at mastering songs. I recorded My Bidet, Emery Ruined my Hair, and Germ Freak. The songs are so prolific I can't get off the plane when landing in Ukraine. read more

Thank you Elliot and Zoey (I might have spelled name wrong, I'm sorry.) Both very professional, personable and easy going. I booked a time slot 2 weeks ahead. Elliot followed up to confirm my 3 hr session. So much fun. I needed to record a cover to use as a backing to sing at sisters wedding and Hear No Evil Studio made my mediocre voice sound listenable lol. I loved the final recording and received my file via email. We had a great time and plan to book again. Thank you again for a great experience. Clean, stylish decorations, great quality equipment read more

Elliot is outstanding. A true expert with a passion for his work. Made recording my first audiobook breeze. Highly recommended.

In need of a studio and audio engineering genius? Look no further and call Elliot now. Long story short, Elliot is amazing at what he does and will bring your vision, no matter how ridiculous, to life. Like many desperate maids of honor, I was looking to do something different for the speech and had the "genius" idea of parodying a song. With vocals like mine, I knew I had to call on a pro to turn off key dust into gold. In comes Elliot and his engineering prowess to churn out something that elicited positive "ohhhhhhh sh[expletive], is this you!?" reaction from the toughest critics (aka my family). The process was super easy and Elliot was very patient. He had awesome suggestions that turned out the best track possible. He doesn't try to rip you off like some other studios I contacted -- he gives a straight rate and sticks with it. And he's super fast with the work you have to get done. This is the place to go to for all your audio needs. Dream big (and the more ridiculous the better) bc Elliot will make it come true! read more

I can see why Hear No Evil has a 5 star rating after coming in to record with them. Totally professional staff that helped us record what we wanted, how we wanted, while offering their expert opinions.

Stellar work from Elliot! Incredibly efficient and professional in the process throughout, and the end result shows. Clear seasoned experience enabled him to make us feel as though he was reading our minds more often than not, and that our vision was being brought to life. Rest assured that your creative baby will be in good hands at Hear No Evil. Would definitely recommend and record here again! read more

Hear No Evil Studio gave me the best first-time experience of making a song and I couldn't have asked for it any other way. Elliot was so helpful and skillful in his craft.

7/14/2023-I rarely leave reviews and only do so when both product and service is exceptional. My experience at Hear No Evil Studio has been one of those occasions. Although I'm just a lone guitarist and vocalist seeking to create a legacy recording, I was treated by Elliott, the owner and primary engineer (and Huxley the videographer) as if I was a prominent professional, which is the case for many of his clients. He was extremely supportive, patient and treated my project with the utmost respect. The final product was everything I hoped it would be. I highly recommend Hear No Evil Studio for any individual or group's recording project. read more

I recently took a full horn section into Hear No Evil Studio for some tracks for a new project /CD and they were extremely professional and efficient. In addition, they were very reasonable priced and had a outstanding engineering staff. Ace and Zoe were extremely friendly and proficient with Pro Tools and the studio setup. In addition to the great tracks - the studio atmosphere is really cool - A Hammond B3. Fender Rhodes stage piano, an upright and baby grand piano with full drum kit and many vintage guitars. Elliot Koenig , the owner, has created a wonderful creative space so you don't need to go up to the LA studios to record anymore.

Elliot at Hear No Evil was friggin' awesome to work with and the process could not have been smoother and more FUN. Kill Cupid (my band) really enjoyed seeing his wheels turn and using his awesome gear. We are a two piece rock band and within a few minutes he had a diagram drawn of how he would capture our sound. The dude seriously knows his stuff and all the nerves we had going into it were eased within the first hour. Completed a 4-track EP and absolutely going back again - best/easiest recording experience of my life. read more

Using this studio is a no brainer! read more
