10/5 stars. I came to Elliot with just my acoustic original songs. He helped me record and turn…read morethem into super dope tracks! I thought it would be intimidating because I don't know anything about recording, but Elliot was so graciously patient and encouraging to help me get everything sounding exactly right. He has so much experience and thinks about music in such an interesting way! It was such a great learning experience in addition to being able to walk away with an album of my songs !

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...

Great gear, great energy in the building and the client that I had there really enjoyed the space and is looking forward to booking there weekly! If you're a producer/ engineer looking for a great spot to mix, cut records, podcasts etc., Maps is the place to be. They make it easy to book generously affordable time slots directly from they're website too. It's a very easy process and once you've worked here, you'll be a fan for life! Great job there fellas!

He took the time to curate a preferred playlist with me to cover the entire evening and looking back now that it's been a couple of weeks, I can easily say that having Vaughn there really tied together the ambiance I was going for and was among one of my favorite investments on my wedding day. I definitely recommend his services to anyone looking to add that magical feeling and touch of whimsy to their event. And one final reason why Vaughn is the type of professional that you want on your side during event planning, I had been scammed by a catering company who took our deposit and then went completely unreachable despite still being active on social media, and Vaughn was able to put me in contact with a trusted vendor he'd previously worked with and truly saved the day!

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.
