Beautiful Midtown Mixed-use Studio
host, you really shouldn't book anywhere else. This wonderfully equipped studio continues to blow me away. In a situation where I forgot some equipment that I needed, James was able to fully assist and ensure that my recording went well with grace and kindness. Honestly, I can not recommend...

Midtown Penthouse Photo/Video Studio
door had a creak that could sometimes be heard from the studio. We would have preferred the space to be completely sound proof but were able to minimize the sound in post by taking some room tone recordings. I believe there are multiple locations so this feedback only applies to...

Beautiful Midtown Mixed-use Studio
This studio was awesome and James was a great host. I worked here for 2 days and it was just as described. The booth was great for recording vocals. The vibes are immaculate...

Sunny Loft in NoMad, natural light, reclaimed wood, white canvas wall, exposed brick GREAT for Video/Photo Productions, Meetings, Workshops, Castings & Livestreaming
talking head-type video and the only slight challenge we had was with sound recording as there is a working office right across the hall with a shared bathroom next to the studio entrance. Our sound tech worked it out and all was fine, but something to plan ahead for...

Midtown 550sqft Daylight Kitchenette Studio with Distinct NYC view of the Empire State Building.
neighbors were recording videos and it was like every time we started to speak, someone would knock on the door to shush us. So we kept trying to whisper and not have too many of us talking to each other at once. Other than that, the studio worked out beautifully...
Kevin K.
STUDIO WITH ICONIC CITY VIEWS
our small production. We shot an interview and we didn't have much problems with noise when recording sound. It's very quiet considering that the location is in midtown Manhattan! The studio space is a nice size, as large or larger than the photos suggest. Nick was very responsive...
Beth L.
British cabinet library studio with Cyclorama and antique backstage
stands and sandbags were included in the space so we didn't have load that in from our van. The studio was also SO quiet. No problems recording sound. There were even sound dampeners for the elevators to muffle noise...

Chelsea Music Recording Studio (with Engineer) in Great High End Building
Very vibey music studio. The host was accommodating and responsive. Diego (one of the engineers) was very helpful and it was a plug-and-play experience. A perfect room to record vocals and have the artist feel comfortable and confident in the process. Hope to be back soon next time...

questions, and made sure I had everything that I needed for a simple video shoot. Acoustics were great (it is set up as a music studio after all), location was easy to find and access, and overall a wonderful experience. Would 100% book again...

Beautiful Midtown Mixed-use Studio
to perform and mix in and fit 5 people comfortably. Super conveniently located. Studio is located on the street side of the building, so some street noise is audible in the main studio, but the recording booth is silent. Would definitely come back...

Rustic 375 Sqft Greenpoint Creative Photo/Video Studio
it justice, it's much more spacious than it appears. We got the all the footage we needed plus some. There's also a music studio inside which Ken let us film a few parts of the video in and it looked fantastic. Overall incredible studio, great pricing and great...
