Outstanding service ! I am so happy I picked Studio West to record my Amazon Audible book. I was unable to record my book at home and I didn't want a narrator to read my book. Amazon requires a strict format for audible recording. I didn't have the time to learn how to use the hardware and software so I decide to go to a professional Studio. The time I saved is worth the money I spent. Studio West and all its staff are true professionals. They made the process simple, easy, and fun. I highly recommend Studio West Recording.
Best recording studio hands down!!!! Everyone there is so professional, supportive, positive and there is just an amazing vibe that really makes you excited about making your dreams come true. Rob is the best music engineer - so patient and has so much wonderful insight. Todd is also phenomenal and helped me understand the whole recording process, how long it would take, etc. They are also super honest and don't try to take advantage of you and overcharge. Will always come here!
I worked with Cedrick from Studio West recording a small orchestra and the experience was excellent. The level of attention to detail, flexibility, and careful preparation that went into the session was very impressive and exceeded my expectations given the affordable price. The whole process from booking the studio with Brian and Abby to finishing the session was easy, very professional, and reassured me that these guys really know what they're doing. Awesome experience, and I will definitely be back!
Fantastic recording rooms and great owner/staff
I've recorded at Studio West several times. The video quality is superb! From the set up employees, to the engineer controlling the sound (one is Daniel Bourget), to the videographer (one is Brian Keim), to the office manager- everyone knew the job to be done. I will certainly go to Studio West in the future for other video needs. By the way, there is a brilliant drum instructor on site. I've grown by leaps and bounds in my musicianship with him. Thank you to all at Studio West who make my recording experiences successful!
