12th Street Sound in my opinion is the best recording studio in Austin. Top quality gear (the only…read moreSSL 9000 in town) all the premium mics, pres, outboard gear, and great instruments (I'm a keyboard player) Hammond B-3 with Leslie, Wurly electric, grand piano, plus great guitar amps, amps, etc. The building itself was an old Baptist church, and 12th Street hired famed studio designers The Wes Lachot Design Group (www.weslachot.com is worth a look as well) to design the space from the ground up. It really is a very cool space. Kevin Szymanski is the house engineer and has worked with lots of famous bands you know-from Foo Fighters, to Matchbox 20, to John Hiatt, to Queens of the Stone Age to Faith Hill. If you are recording in Austin, you need to check this place out. If you are not recording in Austin, you should re-think those plans and come to Austin to record. It's a cool music town, and 12th Street Sound also just happens to be about one mile from Franklin's BBQ, which Bon Appetit calls the best BBQ joint in the U.S.

Besides being one of the coolest looking recording studios (created from an old Baptist church),…read more12th Street Sound really knows their stuff. The equipment is outstanding, the engineer and owner are amazing, and everything they produce is high-quality. This is a huge step up from many of the old-school recording studios in Austin, and it has everything an artist would need to produce something incredible.

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.

The stairs to the VIP area are very narrow and look slippery but I was able to navigate. Won't try that next time. Seating was adequate and comfortable. Parking was adequate but the crowd was small.

Even when it seemed as though I wouldn't be able to finish the project, Randy gave me the time I needed to get things together. Overall I really enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere you feel as soon as you walk-in. I never felt rushed and knew that Randy was as willing to work on the project for as long as I needed. Randy did more than just twist the knobs on the sound board, he actually gave feed back and recommendations on how to bring the entire project together. I've recommended Randy to every person I know who has asked me to recommend a studio and will continue to do so. I look forward to working on my next project there. Cheers!
