His ears, attitude, and professionalism impressed me, and I will be recommending him to friends. I'm a hobbyist home recorder and have been working on a demo for a new project. I found East Side Tone through Yelp and set up a couple hours with Eric to get a second set of ears on my mix. He was an excellent teacher and demonstrated mastery of his craft. Sitting in the control room with him, he exudes creativity and positive energies. You do not feel 'on the clock' or like you're purchasing a commodified product. Although we only spent a couple hours mixing, I could see how valuable Eric's creative input would be in each phase of production. If you're considering buying a couple hours of studio time for one facet of your album, I would urge you to consider booking a couple of days with Eric and have him guide you end-to-end. I wish I had.

I was impressed with John Pearson when I first met him. He is smart, quick, funny, and interesting…read more But that was before I worked with him! Now, all of the aforementioned applies, with the additions of: talented, efficient, & quite capable...oh and easy to work with...& funny! I recently traveled to Austin, TX to make a record with Mark Hallman @ The Congress House Studios. To be blunt, after working with the esteemed Mark Hallman & amazing Andre Moran, I was skeptical about anyone else at the helm. When Mark suggested that John Pearson step in to record vocals, I silently prayed, Oh God let him be good. Neither God nor John disappointed. Here's why: At the controls, John was quick, clean (not meaning shower clean; I mean his edits, direction & even his jokes were clean.....well & he seemed freshly showered...)! John worked with ease & had the very important factor of humor. I was surprised by his experience & skill. I don't know why, but I always am skeptical about anyone before experiencing their work....I doubt everyone. WELL: John proved to be an EXCELLENT engineer AND producer!!! I would hire him again in an instant. The extra credit benefit is that John is very smart, thus his sense of humor is sharp & swift, Which makes for a fun day! And best yet, the work was light & easy, on point & productive.....we actually finished early!! For me, the quality of the individual you hire is as important as the quality of the work they can do. Hire John Pearson & you will have both.

From the outset, he executed his work with extreme specificity, creativity, patience, and care - definitely the kind of person that values doing something well versus rushing through the details. Fortunately, he's adept at what he does - so, in addition to doing things well, he also does them swiftly. I believe that's called efficiency. John has a very laid back, relaxing presence in the studio that absolutely put me at ease during what I felt was a sort of nerve-wracking process at the start. He is extremely knowledgeable about what he does, the technology and equipment he works with, and the theory and process of sound in general - and is willing and able to explain the finer points in layman's terms, which I appreciated. In addition to his professional merits, John is also just a really cool human and a nice guy to get to know. If you have a chance to work with him, you should take it.

I'm happy to continue this relationship as he's moved into his beautiful and spacious new recording headquarters.

The gear is top notch, instruments (guitars, keyboards, and miscellany) are plentiful, and the control room is stellar.

My friends and I laughed for hours while here and the engineer provided us with the music we created. Definitely a unique and fun experience.
