Somehow I don't doubt that. Although, I sat in that funny little car myself and I have no idea how you could possibly have driven one! I felt like a sardine!
Comments from past clients ------------------------------------------------------------------------ "Austin To Boston is a full service studio.
They know how to get great recordings!! I've recorded many Perris Records CDs there.
Tom Mathers Pesident - Perris Records -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Thanks for an amazing job!" Rick Fuentes Musical Director - Ruben Ramos & The Texas Revolution -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "When we were shopping studios for our second album, we were pretty sure that we had found the right place after talking to Mark for 5 minutes on the phone. When we met with him and saw the studios, we were hooked.
Mark took the time to listen to our music and our goals, and outlined a plan that fit our budget. Most of the other studios we called told us how much we needed to spend before they heard one note of our music.
In the end, we feel like we got a great product that sounds like us.
"We'll be back"
Ken Carver The Rhythm Dawgs -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Working with Mark was great! We felt completely at ease and not stressed in any way. He worked his butt off and the result was our cd- full, finished and marketable.
He is thorough and direct, and he knows how to get the best sound out of people. He had great ideas about our music and really listened to our vision of the project. It was a joy to work with him and we are looking forward to projects with him in the future! He's a master at his craft-and if he takes your project on-know that you're going to get a top quality product.
Do yourself a favor and choose Austin to Boston...you wont regret it!" Fawn 10 Inch Maria --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thanks guys for the good work on our Demo, sounds great!!
- Charlie & Casey / Rude Rachel -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Dirt Leg Barrio has just finished the recording process at Austin To Boston on a three song EP. The band would like to sincerely thank Mark Donovan and Luke Smith for an awesome job, not to mention their patience and time. You guys are great & we cannot wait to work with you again in the near future.
"The Fabs would like to thank Mark and Luke at Austin To Boston Studios for a superb recording experience. These guys have given a 110% recording effort including great production advice. It's an asset to have them on our team and we can't wait to get the finished product in our hands.
This is only the beginning of a great business relationship!"
