Testimonial: The Odortones

Posted 6 June 2010, 09:31 by The Kennel

“We are writing this email to show our appreciation for the wonderful recording experience we had at The Kennel. The atmosphere is a perfect blend of comfort and professionalism — you go to The Kennel to get a job done, and never feel rushed or ignored.

“Jim at The Kennel hooked us up with an engineer, Billy, who was by far and away the most delightful engineer I’ve ever worked with. He is on point, funny, nice, and resilient — we recorded for like twelve hours straight, and he didn’t bat an eye about it! He has both the tools and the talent to give any band a masterful sound. I’ve been in dozens of studios over the past ten years and can only ask both Jim and Billy, ‘where have you guys been all my life?‘ 

“And what a great price! I’ve been so used to paying more money and receiving less quality at other studios. We were floored by how great our music sounded at such an affordable price. We would recommend recording at The Kennel to any band that cares about their music, and wants it recorded in a relaxed, no stress, setting. I doubt we will ever record at any other studio as long as we live in New York.

“To any and all bands out there wishing to cut a record: record at The Kennel. You will not be disappointed. At The Kennel, their bite is as big as their bark!

“Thanks again for everything. We look forward to recording at The Kennel again and again in the future.”
