The facilities are clean and parking is readily available. It's a good spot and it's decently priced. Book your next project here - preferably with Anthony- you'll be glad you did.

I've had 8 sessions at this studio and while the equipment in studio A is great, I believe that for…read morethe price point, some of the engineers lack professionalism. For example, agreeing to mix & master a song for me and then not having the required plug ins or even pro tools on their laptop to do so... thus not sending me revisions as requested in time for my drop date , or ever. Pretty lackluster & disappointing when I consistently have spent $400-600 each session at this studio. Hire better professionals

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.

Recorded here for the first time in August 2010. I have a bass & drums duo that has been recording…read moresince 2002. Most of the time we record at a studio in Massachusetts, since that's where the drummer lives and I used to make it back east every year. But the past year or so haven't been able to go back, so when the drummer came out here, I decided to look for a local studio. Although I have lived in California for over four years now, I never thought to look for a studio here - I was really surprised how many there are! Yelp helped me sort through them, and Robot Envy looked like the one most suited to my needs. I was not disappointed! Sammy was great, he was open to what we wanted to do, which is basically improvise live in the studio. He got us set up with a minimum of hassle, and we were recording within an hour or so. It helped that he has a great sounding drumset, which my drummer loved. We recorded a lot of material which I have been sifting through - the stuff we recorded sounds great! Sometimes engineers can be intimidating (if not outright jerks), but I felt comfortable asking for what I wanted or making suggestions. In summary, comfortable atmosphere, good location, great sounds. Highly recommended!

I've practiced in rooms smaller than my girlfriend's closet with so much noise coming through the wall that I needed to turn my amp up to 8. It's a dog eat dog world out there! Enter Gulch Alley Studio. It's a single room recording space and rehearsal studio in the alley behind McTeague's on central Polk Street and a true breath of fresh air in the complicated world of practice spaces. It is adequately sized, nicely appointed with a Mackie PA, a drum kit, and a vocal booth. It is dead quiet and setup for recording. Jesse, the owner, built the space himself and offers hourly rentals. He has a degree in music production and can help engineer your recordings. He also is keen on making Gulch Alley a community and has something like open studio nights where people can hang out and perform with their contemporaries. A local art collective hangs their work on the walls, reinforcing the idea of community. I love this place and am so glad I found it.
