A highly professional, talented and friendly sound recording studio

5
I would like to thank James Hawkins of JHM Music Studios for the excellent sound recording he made of my piano and string quartet pieces. Jim's background as a musician meant that his advice to me during the recording session was extremely helpful. In addition, Jim and his assistants are very friendly and pay great attention to detail. I thank Jim's assistant, Miranda, for filming the event with such care - I am delighted with the videos she made. I thank Cheryl, Jim's administrative assistant, for being so helpful in assisting with the organization of the event. I thoroughly recommend JHM Music Studios to anyone looking for a highly professional, talented and friendly sound recording studio.

Excellent experience.

5
Had a great time. Starting with being able to back the car to right next to the studio. Essential for drums. Then a friendly welcome and setup. James helped get the best sound then miked the kit really nicely. James made useful suggestions on how tweak the way I played. And then the mixes are great. This was only my second recording session but this was really good and cannot imagine better.

Great studio experience

What a great couple of days recording with the band. Even though we were nervous as we hadn't played for several months, the studio experience was faultless. Guidance and patience helped me achieve such a great sound from my small studio valve amp. I loved singing the backing vocals so much that I want to carry on doing this at live gigs. Jim was so clever in helping us achieve our sound. I loved the experience. Air conditioning helped us keep cool too. Give him a try, I don't think you'll be disappointed
