Nick personally made sure that there was seamless integration with our team. Since we've worked together, he's fulfilled our sync / ADR / music needs, helped sort out issues and provided innovative solutions. He is very professional and a straight shooter, I'm glad to to have found someone reliable in the area and will recommend this business to all!

I've had the pleasure of spending time at Costa Mesa 17th St. Recording, and it's truly one of…read moreOrange County's hidden gems. The equipment list is seemingly endless, with an exceptional selection of microphones that makes it a dream for engineers, producers, and artists alike. A special shoutout to owner Lewis, who is an incredible engineer and producer. Everyone is welcoming, professional, and genuinely cares about creating a great experience. If you're looking for a studio that combines world-class equipment with world-class people, 17th St. Recording in Costa Mesa is hard to beat.

Ilai and legendary all good ppl. All types of genres walk in here. Sometimes they have too much fun outside which can be distracting but that's everywhere you go.

I have been taking lessons from Frank for a couple months now, and have been throughly enjoying…read moreevery lesson and also seeing a lot of progress despite not having any drumming experience. Frank's teaching style is very open and catered to the student and he makes learning very fun and is also very encouraging especially for beginners! I would highly recommend if you're looking for a drum teacher/lessons, Frank is very helpful and knowledgeable!

I am completely dumfounded that someone could leave a negative review of Frank's efforts in any…read morecapacity, whether they be studio drumming, lessons, recording--you name it. He is a consummate professional and one of the hardest working people I have ever met in my life, who makes this look easy (doing music professionally). The only people who would leave a negative review are posers and reverse-shills. Having worked with Frank in nearly every facet, short of being taught how to play drums (I have taught with him though for years), it goes without saying for me, that he is worth every star I just gave him, because that is what he is: a star and a sun. If you don't believe that as well, it is because you reside in the shadows, where you belong. A bright star casts a dark shadow, and there you are. Frank has played on many of my songs and has recorded and engineered on more songs than I can count well beyond my meager contribution to music as an art form. You don't need to take my word for it. Try him yourself, and then one will not be speaking from a place of ignorance, in the shadows.

He took the time to curate a preferred playlist with me to cover the entire evening and looking back now that it's been a couple of weeks, I can easily say that having Vaughn there really tied together the ambiance I was going for and was among one of my favorite investments on my wedding day. I definitely recommend his services to anyone looking to add that magical feeling and touch of whimsy to their event. And one final reason why Vaughn is the type of professional that you want on your side during event planning, I had been scammed by a catering company who took our deposit and then went completely unreachable despite still being active on social media, and Vaughn was able to put me in contact with a trusted vendor he'd previously worked with and truly saved the day!
