He has an incredible amount of experience under his belt and it shows with the quality of work he does. He will give you his honest opinion, if you ask, on what might sound better or simple fixes within the songs. Honestly, Livermore is lucky to have such an awesome audio engineer. He can do a full album or just a couple of songs. He is also available to do miscellaneous things such as copying tapes to cds, voice overs, audiotapes. Give this man a call if you need anything!

He is notorious for having someone in your session, not ever fully engaged with the artist, and completely unprofessional. I finally severed ties because he screwed me over and made me miss a deadline. He also took my money and did not complete the services. I left a session because he allowed in three adults and a crying infant that completely killed my desire to create. He then told me it was my fault. Even though I told him why I was leaving. We were supposed to reschedule and finish up what I paid for and he completely blew me off. I wouldn't use this guy if I were you.

He contributed a lot of editing ideas that I actually think improved the songs a lot, and he's really open about what he's doing and using. He even showed me a bunch of plugins. The studio looks amazing and it seems like they keep up-to-date with all the current gear and software. Overall, the experience has been really positive. I definitely recommend it to anyone who wants to bring their music to the next level, and I will definitely be going back for my future projects.

Laid down vocals and 12-string guitar for a folky track. Danny B. the engineer I worked with was incredible - really flexible and meticulous with understanding my vision and making it happen. Did a three-mic setup for the guitar - and it sounds INCREDIBLE. Highly recommend for recording anything from simple folky acoustic all the way up to full band and everywhere in between. This place is straight up legit and captured my music in a way I'm not sure other studios could have. Again highly recommend working with Danny if you can. Prices are also pretty reasonable - will def be recording more here when I get the chance.

He's a fun and professional to collaborate with, and I'm beyond happy with how my song sounds as a finished product. I've been producing on Ableton for a few years, and I was specifically looking to work with someone in studio to learn and improve my mixes in general. I spent a few hours with Chris in his Oakland studio and learned so much during that time. It was one of the most informative sessions I've had since I started making music! Chris shared numerous different techniques and workflow tips with me while making suggestions and helping refine my track. It's clear that he's an expert in Ableton, but is also generous in sharing his knowledge. After our in-person session, we collaborated for another week or so via phone/e-mail through the mastering process. Throughout this process, he was thorough, patient, and gave invaluable feedback and recommendations - all while communicating effectively. Something I really appreciate about working with Chris is that he makes suggestions and gives honest feedback, but also makes sure that he respects the original vision for what the track should sound like. He makes suggestions but never pushes or makes it feel like you're straying or altering your original track. I look forward to working with Chris again! Highly recommend Mothership Studio.
