My band (Xero Hour) and I just finished/received the final product of our EP. We are more than pleased with the outcome! Due to covid, we were delayed (not the studios fault at all) in the beginning. David (our producer), was very kind in working with us and getting us in the studio to record amidst the craziness with the virus and shutdowns. Once we were in, David worked quickly and efficiently.

From helping to reposition mics, to giving us tips and making suggestions with different things. We Loved his input and put it use in many ways. He never once showed or presented any type of difficulties with us. And that says a lot as bands don't always get along with each other. David was as professional as they come, and was very cool to work with.

I will defiantly work with him again in the future and recommend anyone that is looking for a good, relaxed environment, as well as honest and up front atmosphere to record to check out Ambient Studios! You won't regret it!

We have loved working with Ambient Studios so far! As a band we aren't very experienced with the recording experience, but they have eased us into it and been patient with our growing pains. Their space is very comfortable and easy to get to, and their equipment and instruments are excellent. Looking forward to working with them in the future!

Though it's been a few years since I worked with Dave, I will say he is the consummate professional! His technical know-how combined with his knowledge of music makes hours in the studio seem like minutes. He strives for the best quality and end result. He gives constructive criticism, and I am grateful for it!

I have been working in music and recording for almost 30 years and the folks at Ambient Studios just helped me produce the absolute best sounding recording I have ever been a part of. They are patient and easy to work with, have a great ear for music, and are experts on all aspects of recording, mixing, and mastering. I let a music friend from Miami, Florida listen to one of the songs and his comment was, it was the best thing he has ever heard coming out of Cincinnati.

Dave and crew went above and beyond. We needed their expertise for a private house party where they had to balance capturing and projecting excellent sound with staying out of the way of guests! They spent extra time evaluating the space and determining the best and most discreet ways to get the job done; essentially, they can adapt to any situation you throw at them. Plus, they're just really nice guys.
