I can't recommend them enough! I had the pleasure of working with Chloe and as someone who had…read morenever recorded original music before, she made the entire process comfortable, collaborative, and exciting. She genuinely cared about my vision, offered creative ideas, and really took the time to make sure the song felt like me. Her passion for music and artists really shines through, and I always felt heard and supported throughout the process. I couldn't have asked for a better studio experience!

I found out about Peter's studio after a friend mentioned him working on his project. Turns out he…read morealso went to my alma mater for the same music program that I did, so that was an instant plus. Our band needed to have our songs mixed since the person who first did them did an average job at best. Peter's prices were great and he had an awesome attitude with optimism for how the songs would turn out, so I entrusted him with the job. The guy did amazing work and couldn't believe how our EP ended up turning out. I eventually used him again for another solo project and each time, he's always been extremely accommodating to the vision I have for my songs, while also being critical and helpful through the process. Don't pass Peter and his studio up.

I worked with Peter on the debut single for my solo project Lost Dakota (shameless plug) and was…read moretaken back by how he can turn a flat recording created in my bedroom into a song that packs the same punch comparable to a high-caliber studio. Peter was very professional and always willing to go above and beyond to ensure that all of my bases were covered prior to sending him the tracks so that they would be ready to mix on his end (which I'm thankful for since I haven't the slightest clue). I also opted to record the vocals in his studio after initial hesitance but was glad I was able to. Peter was able to give me some pointers throughout the recording session about how to deliver my vocals so that they best fit the song's energy. All in all, Peter is the go-to guy if you want to get a great sounding song for a solid price. He can be as hands-off or hands-on to the whole process as you want (though if you're smart, you'll go with a more hands-on approach since he knows his stuff). Aside from being knowledgeable, Peter is laidback, accommodating, and an overall great dude who's passion really shows through his work. 12/10 would work with him again.

I came to RR for fine toothing as my top Priority but some of my other projects are more recording go and he does that to. What I've come to appreciate about this particular place is the patience and skill. If you really want to do something Roy has a lot of connections and he's very clear and upfront. For me it's all about the journey working with great people with great talent is just such a great part of life that music offers. He now has interns that also hold the line. So if you get one during your session lucky you. I also found out that now you can master at this recording studio. For some of us mixing and mastering are different people different locations but it doesn't always have to be that way. I would also recommend RR for audiobook recordings .

DJ Dan the Man! We hired Dan for our 110 person wedding in San Diego and got toooons of compliments…read morefrom guests. He kept the party rocking, was super friendly, and did an excellent job mixing in a pretty eclectic list of tracks we provided ahead of time for the cocktail hour and then of course for all the dancing. Dan is a great communicator and was always available via text to go over things and work on planning. In our case, we had a very casual wedding without a lot of the traditional stuff, but he was super prepared and I got the sense that he's done so many weddings that he could handle pretty much anything. A real pro! Loved working with him and highly recommend him for anyone looking for an experienced and friendly dude to rock that dance floor! Thank you DAN!
