    I have been to many studios and this was one of my best experiences. Jason is extremely proficient in his art and knowledgeable. This would be a great place for someone who has never been to a studio and needs a helping hand and would also be a great place for the most experienced studio rat. The end product sounds phenomenal. His skills in the studio are outstanding. If you go with a different studio in the area, you are messing up, because Tiphareth is the absolute best.

    Jason did an amazing job with recording guitars for 2 of my songs. His skill level it top notch and turn around time is unbeatable. Hire him if you need amazing guitars is a short amount of time. You will NOT be disappointed!

    Jason was awesome to work with. He had a quick turn around time for getting our album done. He was efficient and professional. Ten out of ten would recommend.
