I'm so glad I discovered Frank and Accurate Soundz a couple years back - I hire him for all the performances I can. As a performer, I've hired Frank for clubs, beach concerts, bars - you name it. As a business owner that provides live music and DJ music for weddings and corporate events, Frank has saved me tons of hours and headaches dialing in the various types of venues we work in from San Diego to Orange County to Palms Springs. He's always reliable, always super friendly, and his equipment sounds super amazing. The coolest thing is that Frank has a true passion for sound and music, and he gets the job done right, every time. Highly recommended for solo acts, DJ's, and bands.

Although I've recorded here before in the past, spending more time in the studio recently made me realize how great it is. The owners are great and the staff is top notch. They have about 3-4 different studios, but Studio A is a great place to track drums. The studio is equipped with a kitchen, 2 very clean restrooms (thanks Hunter!) and a lounge equipped with a big screen tv, dvd and satellite tv. Above Studio A they even have a lounge where the bands can relax and observe what's going on down below. All in all this is the place. Blink 182, Wolfmother, Humpty, and many others have recorded there as well. Do yourself a favor and spend the extra money to make your recording worthwhile....

I'm super excited to continue working with Drew, and I am grateful for all I have and will continue to learn along the way.

Drew Lundberg (of Often the Thinker) is a legend. I was lucky to recently start recording my new…read morealbum at 1221 with Drew - I've made 3 albums and have mostly recorded and produced them on my own, but I've gone a different direction with my writing and wanted to work with Drew for this new batch of songs. The experience so far has been truly inspiring. Drew has a gift for communicating when it comes to music - he understands the intangible and it didn't take him much effort to see my vision and know what I was going for. We were able to accomplish things together that I never could without him, and the experience of working together was joyful. Drew is easy-going and fun; he has a really disarming quality that is an invaluable trait for a producer and collaborator generally. When I asked for Drew's help in playing a part on electric guitar (his playing is beautiful), he was more than happy to see what he could come up with, and within minutes he was playing exactly what I hoped might be added to my song. Drew is very open to any ideas and prioritizes staying true to an artist's vision. He is encouraging and creatively nurturing. But above all else Drew is an amazing person. He's kind, fun to be around and the atmosphere at his studio is really lighthearted and beautiful. Drew's setup is amazing, literally a dream come true. The space is really fun to work in and the tools at Drew's and his clients' disposal are state of the art and very carefully, expertly chosen and arranged. I'm a piano player and I love the upright at 1221! I found myself feeling really creative with it. There's a really special organ there, a Juno-106 (and other synths), and some amazing guitars. All recorded through the best outboard (including amps in a booth if your music has guitars) and some lovely microphones. It's magical. I greatly admire Drew's work - he is a brilliant engineer and producer. He pays very meticulous attention to every detail of a mix and has a wonderful sense for subtlety, always finding what will complement each sound. The sounds are so clean and beautiful; Drew's recordings are elegant and graceful. He EQ's and compresses tracks perfectly and has a very tasteful ear for panning and using effects exactly how they ought to be used. He's also great at mastering! If you are a producer looking for someone with a trustworthy second pair of ears to tastefully master your music with some really nice outboard gear, Drew and 1221 are a really excellent option. Speaking to the efficiency of Drew's work and keeping costs effective, my expectations were exceeded. Drew and I have finished the better part of entire songs in one session. My experience at 1221 was glorious and I can honestly say that I found something in my music there that I had never found before. Drew is very talented at bringing that out of people and he provides an environment and atmosphere where it's not only possible, but likely. Thank you so much Drew and the crew at 1221. I'm looking forward to coming back as soon as possible. Much love.

Over a year ago I ran into their booth at an Little Italy Art Walk...and accepted their "Box of Photos" scan package offer. The 1st cool thing was is that there was no expiration date on the offer, which helped me GREATLY, in that my pics to scan were over in Spain....and I only get their 1X / year. I eventually brought mine in almost two years after buying my package. After finally getting them recently I organized them, counted a total to make it below my Scandiego box limit and went on in. They do a very personal initial consultation when you present your pictures.....literally examining the condition of EACH one to ensure that it won't be damaged by their automated scanners. After having about 20 of mine disqualified (too delicate, small, etc.) I left them. Although they mentioned up to a 3 week wait (fine by me to avoid RUSH proce$$ing Co$t$), I was pleasantly surprised to be called yesterday to come get my DvD archive (a week early !). The pictures were scanned in pretty much the order I had...and quality surprised me. The best thing is that I can now do photo enhancements on my PC to crop and color change to my heart's content. I may even reprint several now that they are cropped MUCH better. I highly recommend this company....and don't miss the coffee / candy offered gratis around the store. Watch out for the guard dog though (Ha !!)

She edited my concert video I did with James Burton. Not only is she totally professional, but brings a wealth of knowledge, and creativity to the table.. Add to this she is an absolute joy to work with.. We had only two hrs. to view the highlights, share notes, ideas. and a few laughs..Usually I sit in on every edit, but time would not allow this before I left for Tahoe. I went with my gut instinct that I was in good hands with Katie. Being an artist myself I know how important it is to bring your vision to life...I let Katie work her magic!! I sent her notes,pictures, and we spoke once or twice. Boy. was I right! Katie did an Epic job of editing and added an extra dose of love for her craft to the project. When I watched it the night before I left for Tahoe, I was so moved that I was brought to tears..Katie you are a Pro's Pro! I can't wait for us to work on this next project with the new footage from Tahoe. Thank you Ryan and San Diego Audio Video for years of friendship and Amazing service. Thank you Katie for taking such good care of me and my vision. People in the industry have commented on what an Excellent job you did...I highly recommended Katie and her creative talent!!
