The one I recorded in had this awesome Moulin-Rouge vibe and it was tricked out with everything you could ever need. As a lowly narrator, I can't tell you all the details about tech specs and whatnot, but I trust my publishing house only books the best. Tim was the most warm and friendly guy and put me right at ease (which goes a long way in this industry and in life in general--some folks are just technically competent but completely relationally incompetent, unfortunately). It was so cool to get a chance to get a peek into his awesome microcosm tucked away in Highland Park. Highly recommend.

This review is long overdue, but the praise can't go unsung for Tim at York Recording. My band…read morerecorded our debut album there and couldn't be more pleased with every part of the experience. We bumbled around with a couple amateur producers and home studios before discovering York. This is the real deal if you want to record, mix, edit or master anything resembling legitimate-sounding music, voice-overs or podcasts. Tim took the time to meet us ahead of committing and gave us a great vibe and tour of his studio. Once we pulled the trigger, he was super professional but also relaxed and fun to be around. It was like recording with an old friend, but in a high-end studio with top-notch gear. The vibe of York also attracted us: tastefully decorated and adorned with cool stuff, not to mention the cherry vintage gear he has available. As a drummer, I salivated at some of his snares! Guitars, drums, keys, amps, mics and pres, all sweet as pie. Not to mention his digital stuff, high-end emulators and plugins all hooked into a HD ProTools rig. Best of both worlds. Speaking of which, Tim is literally the Billy the Kid of ProTools. He's smoking fast and the only thing that held us up was us! We tracked our entire album over two weekends which is crazy quick (it can take anywhere from a few weeks to months for an album) and returned for mixing. Because of the efficiency, we ended up spending less than on our 6-song E.P. that didn't sound half as good. Tim gave us sage advice and lent himself to produce, but also gave us complete creative control. His ears are amazing and his decades of engineering experience really showed. It really helped us at every step. I'm still amazed at how good the mix sounds on every system I play it on -- car, phone, earbuds. It just translates so well and I'm even more convinced than before (not that I doubted) that his informed intention behind every decision was the best for our project. We look forward to working with him again in the future! Thanks Timbo! P.S. We were there this past summer in the middle of COVID-19. Tim wears a mask in-session and keeps his place meticulously clean and sanitized. There was plenty of space to keep distance and we felt very safe.

If you're a musician and you need to do recordings (with gear beyond your home studio) keeper this is a place for you. They've got some classic keyboards organs and other related instruments. One of the jewels of the collection is the Hammond C3 organ. The C stood for church, and the only difference between the C3 in the B3 is that the church organ offered more wood to cover the ladies legs when they played services. Who knew! Nice place, decent rates and lots of fun instruments you didn't know were available. Check it out!

Working with Rene at Future Sound Studios was the best decision I made in 2018…read more The worst decision I made was using my drummer's boyfriend's studio. I had three great songs that I had written over the summer that I decided needed recording for my debut album. My drummer offered her bf's studio to record the band, which was cool at first. It ended up being a HUGE mistake--the drums sounded AWFUL recorded in his place. Small, tinny, behind-a-padded-wall sound. Out of sync totally. Not to mention his overall attitude was weird--it ended up being his session, not mine. I thought there was no hope for saving these records. And I still had yet to record my vocals. Luckily, we found Rene on Yelp. With his help, I was able to record my vocals and get the drums fixed to a T. Rene made my songs go from B-side 1960's crap small-studio sounding to 2019 sparkling, widescreen Katy Perry perfection. We also go the songs done relatively quickly. I was obviously a bit trepidatious going back into a studio after that last experience, but I shouldn't have been. Rene is very nice and personable, the opposite of what I experience so often in Hollywood. I felt comfortable in his studio the second I stepped foot inside. Rene and I are also on the same wavelength creatively--we both feel when a take is right and when it's not, when a song is hot and when it's not. He is very honest and will tell you the truth, which I appreciate. My favorite part of working with him is his sense of humor. I also respect how I requested no autotune on my voice and he actually listened--most other engineer/producers I've worked with laugh right in my face at that and never do it, they're too egotistical to ever let the singer make mistakes on their record. But he let me try it. Remember, as a mixer, masterer and engineer, his success is your success. He is a hard worker-I must have asked him for 40 files for TV and film placement purposes and he sent me every single one immediately. He is a walking plethora of musical knowledge. The actual room is small where I recorded, but it worked fine for me and my backup singer. If you really wanted to, you could cram a small choir in there, maybe a horn. Rene's studio is for overdubs, not bands. So, keep that in mind. Although he does have other rooms. Great, high-quality gear, too. Fantastic mics. Rene is awesome! I can't imagine going to anyone else to finish this album. Excited to work with him again. Would recommend! 10/10 ***check out edithviolette.com to hear the final product, will be out soon***
