Here's what our clients are saying:
"With the help of your experience, we produced a remarkable album that I would have never expected to be so professional without the high cost. I was a little intimidated at first and thought I was out of my league but it was one of the best decisions I could have made. You guys are amazing at what you do and so down to earth!

As soon as I got my CDs I went on tour promoting my new album. And to my surprise, in one month I sold more than it cost me to record my whole album at Sweetwater. In one month! That is amazing!

I've received so many calls saying, they couldn't believe how professional it sounded. You wouldn't believe how excited I am to have had this experience. You pushed me to be a better musician and a better songwriter and believe me, I will be back to work with you!"

"This was an extraordinary experience for me... one of the most intense and enjoyable of my life. I sincerely thank all of you for your hard work, your dedication to excellence, and your incredible musicianship. If 'Rise Again!' is as good as I think it is, it owes almost everything to you three; I was along for the ride. And a great ride it has been!"
Tom O'Donnell

"Once again, I thank all of you at Sweetwater for your expertise in making my simple songs the polished arrangements/productions that they became. I have been getting significant press lately, and for every interview, I always give you and your team big credit for how the songs turned out. To coin a chorus from one of my songs, 'I Couldn't Have Done It Without You...'"
Kelly Domino
Fort Wayne, IN

"I don't think I could ever tell you how thrilled I was with everything you put together for my recording project. I'm just wondering how soon would be too soon to start planning another one! ( I wish) Seriously, it was the greatest studio experience I've ever had, and I truly feel privileged to have met and made music with all of you. I promise I am and will continue to tell everyone I know and everyone you work with how awesome it was.

Not to be too corny, but it was many months ago when I read about the new studios and I just knew I had to record there. After all the outstanding experiences I've had with Sweetwater over the years, I knew it would be great. But as it has always been with your company my expectations were totally exceeded by everyone involved. Thanks so much for all you do."
Scott Morlock
Hilton Head, South Carolina

"After floating through the weekend on cloud 14, I just wanted to thank you. What you've brought to the party and how you transformed my songs has been killing me in a great way. At first when you'd say "celtic" this or "hornsby" that, I didn't know what the heck you were doing. But you were transformational. I have to say from the bottom of my heart that this has been wonderful for me.

Per our conversations, you're right, this is a team effort. But you are a master. And I won't want to be going anywhere else with my songs but back to you when this happens again.

Thank you for putting your heart and soul into my project. Thanks for your team, who make it all work so fantastically well. Banner, Julie, Chris, Lisa, Justin, and the incredible talents of the powerhouse musicians that you've pulled in to move these songs into a place that I never could have imagined.

What a studio! What a team! What customer service! What care and loving!"
Craig Lemieux
Toledo, Ohio

"I can't believe how much I learned through the process and really would love to record another. You helped me relax, just be Debbie and sing with my heart... not with the just the vocal knowledge. I hope you noticed just a little difference on the second CD. Lisa M. sure did...she said, 'Where did you find all those different sounds?' I told her, 'from Chet and in the studio.'"

See you soon!
