“When Producing/Engineering a LP, EP, or even a Single with an act, it becomes more than just a recording. The Engineer is the gateway between the performer and the world musically. If the Engineer isn’t on your side, you are going to get a product that is sub-par and lifeless.” – Alex Best

While there are many studios that create an intimidating feeling with their size, rates, Engineers, etc., we strive to keep that feeling out of the process. We are real people who love to work with artist’s ideas and visions.

“Alex Best was a lot of fun to work with. He’s not one of those guys that’s all business.. you have to have a sense of humor in this game or you will be looked at as the prick. Alex was really good at explaining things and breaking stuff down to make it more simple. [He] capture[s] a guitar tone that is un-comparable to most. He’s one of those guys that works until your happy. I miss working with him a lot and hope down the road we can do it again.” - Jacob Ashton (Ex- Marla Singer)
