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.

I feel so fortunate to work with Strawberry Hill Music…read more I'm a singer / songwriter in the Bay Area and have been so frustrated with many disingenuous producers. When I started working with Raj and the Strawberry Hill Music team, everything changed. He really listens to what I want, is respectful, honest, and authentic. And, he has a great ear. He makes me feel at home in the studio; I'm never rushed or pressured. And, the production is top quality. I highly recommend Strawberry Hill Music.

Outstanding experience at Fogel Sound Studios…read more I had an exceptional experience recording my very first audiobook at Fogel Studios. Fogel is incredibly professional, friendly, kind, and patient especially important for me since this was my first time ever recording in a professional studio. He took the time to explain the process, made me feel completely at ease, and supported me every step of the way. What truly stood out was his generosity and dedication: he even helped me on Christmas Day, despite it being his day off and a major holiday that he celebrates. That level of commitment is rare. Fogel is extremely knowledgeable in all aspects of recording and audio production, and it shows in both his guidance and the quality of the final result. I felt fully supported and confident throughout the entire process. I highly recommend Fogel Sound Studios to anyone looking for a top-tier recording experience; especially authors recording audiobooks. I will absolutely be working with him again for my second book.

In an age where everyone has a home recording studio, Ice House reminds us the difference between…read morean amateur sounding recording and one that is ready for the radio. After an exhaustive search for a great studio to create my first full length, I came across producer/engineer Joey Muller and Ice House, and it was probably the easiest and best decision I made. We spent several months making a great sounding record ... and despite the great studio, everyone knows it's really the person behind the gear that all makes it come together. Anyway, the highlights of the experience really need a bullet point list: - The live room sounds incredible. Drums and guitar were flat out amazing. - The gear at the studio is great - a very quiet chain using great preamps, converters, and other outboard gear. - Joey was extremely passionate and into the project, very responsible, and easy to work with. - Joey's musical talents and ear are amazing. Besides being a great piano player, his ear for pitch, melody, and song structure is very finely tuned. - The resources near the studio are expansive; there is a large music store within walking distance, as well as great healthy places to eat. - The network of professional musicians to help out on projects is huge; Joey knows many of the top musicians in the Bay Area, and they all love coming in and working at Ice House. Needless to say, if you want to make a great recording, this is the place to go. And it's actually quite reasonably priced as well. What more could you ask for?
