I had a great experience recording music with Max yesterday. He went out of his way to make sure everything was set up for me and my pianist. He spent time with us making sure the songs were exactly perfectly what I wanted. Max is so great to work with and truly makes you feel like a rockstar while working, which only makes the finished product better. Also, the space is so cool. Highly highly recommend.

I recorded a commercial reel with them, and if I could go higher than 5 stars I would. Helped me through every step of the process, and really took the time to get an idea of what my strengths are, and guide me through to get the right reads on my reel. I could not recommend Tightrope more.

I had an absolutely incredible experience today recording for my voiceover demo with Max. Max radiates positive energy and works collaboratively to get tracks that will make you shine. Five stars isn't enough to show how awesome it was working at Tightrope. If you're doing any type of recording, this is THE place to do it!

Tightrope is an easily accessible and welcoming studio. Max and Kyle helped me record a podcast and had everything ready and set up when I got there! This will be an amazing place to record podcasts, music, voiceover, or anything you need.

Every time I go in to record voice over, or play music I am helped by a knowledgeable and friendly staff. Great location and amazing atmosphere. Whatever recording needs you have, come here to be treated like a professional. The people here care and want you to succeed. Couldn’t recommend enough.
