Curt is a real renaissance man, with impeccable musicianship and producing capabilities. His studio is equipped with all the technology an artist could dream of, but Curt himself is the real best resource he offers. Warm, friendly and accommodating, I have so much fun and learn priceless tricks, tips and theory from him. I've both taken guitar lessons from him and recorded original music- Curt helped me immensely to grow from a guitar novice to a competent player, helping me translate my piano knowledge to the guitar. He's a whiz in the studio- recording has never been so easy and fun! I'm a Yale student with access to the recording studios on campus, but I would always rather jam and record with Curt because he has unparalleled technical mastery and prices his time and labour incredibly reasonably in comparison to most of the other people and studios out there. Anything you want musically- Curt's your man!!

I had a terrible experience at the Factory Underground Open Mic. What was advertised as a "free,"…read moresupportive community event turned out to be an exhausting, $15, 4-hour ordeal. The overall vibes were messy and horrible. Between a rowdy, disrespectful crowd, incompetent management, and bad sets dragging on for way too long, the energy was completely wrong. The tone was set right at the beginning when the host introducing the show admitted she had no idea what food the venue was serving, which was a perfect preview of how disorganized the night would be. First, the hidden costs were very disappointing. This event is advertised as "free" with "paid parking available." I traveled all the way to the venue with my instrument, only to be surprised with a mandatory and very expensive $15 flat-rate parking charge. This feels highly misleading and is an exorbitant amount to pay for parking that no attendee going to a "free" event would have anticipated. I would have been happy to pay that amount if it were an upfront admission ticket instead of an unexpected, mandatory parking toll. The physical setup of the venue made things even worse. The seating layout consists of tables and couches scattered around inconsistently, making the room incredibly awkward and cramped. Because it is so poorly laid out, a large portion of the audience was forced to stand blocking the entrance the entire night. The time management was also incredibly unfair. The event advertised 6-minute slots, which management honored to performers for the first half of the show. However, once they reached the second half, they abruptly cut our slots down to 3 minutes. What made it worse was that even after enforcing this 3-minute restriction on us, management still allowed select performers to go overtime and completely disregard the rules. They let certain acts, including ones the audience clearly disliked, drag on for over 5 minutes without cutting them off. They also showed clear favoritism to students who take paid classes there, letting them combine their sets to hog the stage for 20 minutes. This inherently defeats the purpose of an open mic, makes the audience restless, and prevents different voices from shining. Allowing these specific acts to run significantly over schedule directly penalized the artists left at the end of the night, pushing the entire event way past its intended end time. Because management refused to enforce the rules, the show ran late and 90% of the audience left. I waited over three hours and paid over $15 just to play a single 3-minute song to an empty, exhausted room. To top it off, when people were actually there, the crowd was loud and disruptive. Audience members were loudly taking phone calls and talking over performances while management did absolutely nothing to maintain basic etiquette. I left feeling disappointed, exhausted, and completely unappreciated as an artist. If you are looking for a welcoming and well-run open mic, I highly recommend looking elsewhere. Furthermore, seeing how unprofessionally this event was managed makes it hard to recommend the business as a whole. If they cannot handle basic scheduling or treat outside artists fairly, it calls into question the quality of their paid music lessons and recording services. I suggest saving your time and money and finding a venue that actually values musicians.

This place is not like it used to be since they changed owners. I'm very disappointed with how I've been treated. I'm just very appalled that the owner treats his customers this way. The owner wouldn't let me rebook my time since I was unable to cancel within the 48 hour period. I was willing to rebook for any day, but he wouldn't budge. So I was charged 84 dollars and didn't recieve any service. I was going there every week for the past month, and tried to rebook any day for next week. He refused... He talked down to me, belittled me over the phone and took 84 dollars for no service. He was inflexible and lost my business permanently. I've been coming here consistently for many years, this happens to be the first time i had to cancel. I was willing to reschedule any day within the week, but he was unwilling to work with me.

Each week he greets us and sets up the mics and sound in of his 4 studios. The place is fantastic. The sound doesn't leak out from one studio to the next. It is a great vibe as many musicians in Long Island rehearse here. The studios are well equipped with stools, mics, drum sets, keyboard stands, amps and a digital equalizer for the vocals. There have been times when I have forgotten a chord or power supply and Mike has gone out of his way to help me and literally "save the day"! I have to say the place is perfect for our needs and many of the working musical stage groups of Long Island. Congrats to Mike and his professional staff for a well run operation!!
