Reviews
βThis sounds fantastic. Eric, thank you so much for all your incredible work on this! Itβs a great track.β
βAs a producer, I make every effort to bring my clients to Funkadelic, both for rehearsals and for studio recording sessions. It is an oasis of high-quality rooms and backlines in the very heart of Times Square. Iβve also brought my 3-HOUR SINGLES series to Funkadelic alongside resident studio engineer Serge Henderson, who is a phenomenal producer and mixer with attention to details and a true understanding of his console.β
βI really enjoyed my session with Funkadelic Sound Engineer Eric. He was extremely patient, respectful and efficient, and also open to suggestions about adjusting the equipment to suit the needs of the instruments in the session. He was really good about planning the session, reaching out to me and asking me what I needed beforehand, such as the stems for the sessions, the technical set-up, and what kind of a sound I was going for. Most of it was already set up when I got there. He is also incredibly nice and good at making people feel comfortable. I would definitely go back for another recording session again and recommend Funkadelic Studios to other musicians in NYC!β
