ALCHEMY STUDIO

Alchemy Reviews

Chad W. writes on yelp.com - see original review here

Producer Jeff Muller is one of the best I've ever worked with. As a professional musician, I've always demanded top-notch live-off-the-floor drum takes, clean guitars, and crisp keyboards. I've always demanded special attention and excruciating detail when it comes to belting it out and laying it down in the vocal booth. Jeff Muller delivers no less. Of course, I wasn't producing the album of the year, but for the money the band gave him, he was certainly able to provide us with outstanding studio recordings.

He offers a cozy office conducive to the recording experience. Wood floors, wood panelling, and a wall of rack gear complete this two roomed, two isolation-booth recording studio somewhere in the northeast among Calgary's forgotten industrial sector.

Not only does Jeff master and mix the material right in his studio, he is also an experienced musician himself and offers serious insight into the songwriting and creative studio process.

Each time I record (until I have more than $50000 to record and album), I'll be up at Alchemy laying down and cutting the tracks.
