Working with Chris Steinmetz at Stonecutter Records was incredible. The studio itself is…read moreprofessional, comfortable, and overall super cool. Chris has decades of experience in the music industry, and as a starting artist, has immensely helped me get the most out of my music.  To be able to utilize this studio's top-tier equipment is one thing, but the atmosphere Chris creates is unmatched. He has a focus on getting the sound right and pushing each project to its fullest potential which I really admire. Whether you're a new artist looking for guidance or a seasoned musician who wants the highest-level recording, this studio is where it's at. I couldn't be happier with the results and highly recommend Chris and Stonecutter Records for anyone looking to bring their music to the next level.

So, I was looking around for studios in Chicago and Stonecutter was the first to pop up and was already looking promising. I had talked to Chris and set up a meeting and tour and what a nice and genuine guy! He really made us feel at home here, the interns are hardworking and made us feel welcomed. If you're in Chicago and looking for a place to record your next record, I'd definitely recommend Chris and Stonecutter Recording Studios!

Unbelievable engineering talent - they get great sounds and make me sound better than I am as a player and singer. What's not to love? On top of great skill, owner Brian Clavey and the team of engineers and producers associated with this studio are incredibly kind, fun and great to be with. They can handle any type of recording project and also do live video shoots in the studio. Exceptional facilities and equipment too. Highly recommended.

I have been using this studio for the past 14 years with both my bands. We just finished recording…read morethe preliminary tracks for our upcoming disc this past weekend. These guys are pros all the way. Our mission was to replicate the Universal Recording Studios in Chicago during the 1950's & 1960's and Maxim/Solid Sound achieved it! The studio is large and comfortable, they have an array of top of the line gear and are very proficient with Protools and modeling software add-ons. Our engineer, Joe, was very open to our ideas and goals, he worked with all that we requested...and there was a lot. If you need to record, you need to be here... It doesn't make sense to try recording yourself at home...let someone else do the engineering, we were able to concentrate on being musicians and creating music.

Recently used Mystery Street Recording Company, and Joe Tessone provided excellent service…read more Specifically, Mystery Street was able to transfer audio files from 40-year-old cassette tapes to digital. Joe cleaned up the files and "restored" the audio quality. He provided both MP3 files and higher quality audio files. Getting the files was easy- Joe provided us with a download link for quick access. Pricing was reasonable for the quality of work and turnaround time. For a fee of $100/tape in addition to the hourly rate, we received expedited service.

Tightrope Recording, and their owner Max, did not live up to their promises. They promised a great…read morerecording and finished mixes for one price of $1500. They did a great job recording, but sent us home with only the rough cut, and no finished mixes. They claimed that it took a lot of effort to set up for a multi-instrument band and they had to bring in extra help, thus extra cost. They had no more money or time to finish the mixes. Max had the audacity to say that each song would be at least another $350 to finish, even though he promised us finished mixes when we spoke on the phone. I feel that this was unscrupulous practice. Make sure you get your promises in writing from Max, or he may just try to swindle you.

From start to finish, Jessi, Colin and Max went above and beyond to ensure that every aspect of the recording process was seamless and professional. First and foremost, the studio itself was top-notch. They have an amazing amount of options of microphones to choose from, I went with a Sennheiser 416. Additionally, the studio's acoustics were excellent, providing a clean and crisp sound without any unwanted background noise, we used studio A mostly. The entire recording process was enjoyable and stress-free, I was there a lot so that's saying something- Overall I can't recomend them enough. If you're looking for a recording studio that will deliver then make sure you work with them.
