A Review of the 10 Best Recording Studios in Phoenix
How we picked
Equipment Quality
The first thing we looked into is the quality of their equipment. After all, high-quality equipment is usually the key in producing equally high-quality records.
Engineer Expertise
We also took into account how skilled their sound engineers are when it comes to recording and mastering. This was based on certifications or awards they had and their years of experience.
Recording Facility
We considered how big their studios were, or if they had a variety of studios available. Ambience was a basis, too, as we understand how most musicians take into account a studio’s overall vibe.
Ease of Booking
It was vital for us to check how easy booking a session was in these studios, based on their availability and staff responsiveness.

Pros
- Managed by artists
- A full-service studio with a good scope of services
- Uses top-of-the-line equipment and advanced editing software
- Certified top level engineers
- Specializes in recording, mixing, and sound mastering
Cons
- Can be difficult to book an available slot
- Relatively small studios
Sound Valley Studios is a full-service studio where musicians and artists can come to record, create music, shoot photos and videos, and make visual art.
We think this place would be a great option for those who are not only looking to record, but to produce other materials such as music videos and album art.
The great thing about this studio is that it’s managed by artists. And because of this, they’re able to anticipate customer preferences and internalize their needs.
They have 2 studios that were designed to be both functional and comfortable. We especially love how cozy inside is, albeit a little small if you plan on bringing your own large equipment.
We also like the fact that their certified top level engineers stay attentive throughout entire sessions. From what we’ve heard, customers rave about how knowledgeable and nice they are at giving sound advice.
It appears, too, that they make use of top-of-the-line equipment and advanced software in producing records. They specialize in the recording, mixing, and sound mastering process.
Booking a slot is easy, but it’s finding an availability that some customers have trouble with. We suggest booking at least a week in advance to secure your slot.

Pros
- Grammy award-winning audio engineer
- Spacious and large studios
- Has a Premier Room complete with a stage setup for live demo recordings
- Has a designated luxe podcast room
Cons
- Could work on better soundproofing and ventilation
- Relatively pricier rates
Another top-of-mind choice by local artists is Premier Studios. Grammy award-winning engineer, Jeremy Parker, is among their audio juggernauts.
Jeremy famously worked with some of the biggest rock bands worldwide, including Mudvayne, Slipknot, and Godsmack. This isn’t to say that he doesn’t work with smaller, independent artists – because he absolutely does!
It goes without saying that he’s exceptional at producing records. It seems, though, that customers love coming here and working with him because of his down-to-earth and friendly personality.
Another thing we like about this studio is how spacious it is. They have 2 main studio rooms and the Premier Room, which is a large space with a fully back-lined stage, professional lights, and a state-of-the-art sound system.
We think it’d be a perfect spot to record a music video or a live demo. It’s big enough to fit all major instruments and equipment, too!
And if you’re looking to record a podcast, they have their very own luxe podcast room. Now that’s something we don’t see a lot in similar studios.
We do wish they’d work on better soundproofing and ventilation, though. Apparently, a few customers complained of hearing what’s being recorded in other rooms, which isn’t something you’d want for such a high-end space.
3. Demŭn Studios

Services: Recording Studio, Podcast Studio, Voice Overs, Production

Pros
- Professional recording atmosphere
- Spacious and modern studios
- Relatively affordable rates
- Has a private studio and a podcast studio
- Has a designated luxe podcast room
Cons
- Output and quality is just okay
- Could benefit from more experienced and expert audio engineers
If you’re looking for a really professional recording atmosphere, we think Demŭn Studios would be a solid choice.
They’re a boutique studio that prides themselves in providing high-quality recordings at relatively affordable prices. While most similar studios charge a starting rate of $75 per hour, theirs is only $50 – editing, setup, mixing, and digital delivery already included.
The downside is that the quality is apparently not as good and consistent as you’d hope. Some customers have reported hearing some faint buzzing or street noises on the track.
This is a big no-no for those coming in for a professional recording. But if you’re not really particular or the track isn’t for something super formal, we’d say that the service is okay for the price you’re paying for.
We actually find it quite ironic how they claim to have top-of-the-line equipment and high-quality outboard gear, and yet, disappointing records for some.
We think they’d benefit from training their engineers better, or hiring more production experts. The equipment is only as good as the person manning it, after all.
On another note, we find their studios modern and incredibly sleek-looking. We’ve heard that soundproofing is great, too (pun intended!).
And if you’d like to work alone, they do offer a private studio complete with brand new equipment and the latest editing softwares. There’s a podcast room as well, if that’s what you’ll be recording.
4. Cosmic Soup Recording

Pros
- Has a loyal clientele and a positive reputation from word-of-mouth
- Owner is professional and easy to work with
- Great vibe and cozy atmosphere
- Will work with your budget
- Open 24/7
Cons
- Relatively small studios
- Equipment could be improved
Cosmic Soup Recording is a small recording studio with a loyal clientele base. The owner, Jeremy Daniel, is a nice and friendly fellow who really knows his stuff.
Most of his customers seem to love how easy-going and non-intimidating he is. That’s not to say that he’s too laid back, though – rather, he takes his time getting to know the artist and truly listens to his or her ideas.
The results often exceed expectations. And, his professionalism leaves customers with a lasting impression that translates into awesome word-of-mouth.
See, we think it’s important for recording studios to be a safe space for artists. It doesn’t need to be flashy or overly modern, but it does need to be comfortable with a great vibe; and those are two of the main compliments that customers frequently give them.
Another thing we like about this studio is that they’ll work with your budget. We find this to be super helpful, especially for smaller artists or customers who don’t require too much musical production values.
As for the equipment they use, it’s not completely outdated, but it’s also not the best in the biz. They could probably do with some upgrades, but we do have to give them props for making the most use out of them and producing some professional records.
5. The Block Recording Studio

Services: Recording Studio, Vocal Recording and Lessons, Instrumental Construction

Pros
- Has a professional and experienced team of audio engineers
- Utilizes top-notch quality equipment and software
- Efficient and fast recording workflow
- Open 24/7
Cons
- Rates are significantly more expensive
- Has had some issues with double booking customers
The Block Recording Studio is another top-rated recording studio for a few good reasons.
For starters, they have a completely experienced and professional team of audio engineers. They’ve built quite a good rapport, too, which makes customers feel super comfortable and non-intimidated at every recording session.
Second is that they have top-notch quality equipment – and they know how to use it well. Among those are the Korg Volca Beats Analog Rhythm Machine and the Akai Professional MPC Renaissance, which is what a lot of professional artists use.
By investing in such high-grade equipment and software, they’re able to make the recording process much more efficient and better overall. Faster, too, so you get to save some big bucks on the amount of time you’d need for your session.
We emphasize on saving big bucks, because their services don’t come cheap. The cheapest packages start at $75 per hour, and these are just base rates for beginners.
Unfortunately, they have had some issues with efficiency in terms of time management. Apparently, a few customers have experienced being double booked for their allotted schedule.
We do hope they work on being more attentive on such matters, as we understand how frustrating and inconvenient this is to customers.
