"I've been a professional musician for nearly fifteen years and have recorded seven albums so far. I've recorded in several great studios in Nashville, Memphis, and Vancouver, BC, and worked with many wonderful people. But the best experience I've had is working with Daniel Dennis and Prime Cut Studio. Daniel's an extremely talented and creative musician, engineer, producer, and graphic designer. He has great equipment and the studio sounds incredible. The CD I recorded there sounds better than anything I've done elsewhere. It's a very relaxing and comfortable environment in which to record, and Prime Cut also offered more value for my money than I had ever dreamed possible.

But above all, Daniel is a great guy to work with - he's personable and easy-going, yet knowledgeable and professional. I look forward to working with him and recording at Prime Cut for a very long time. If you care about your music, you owe it to yourself and your fans to record at Prime Cut."

"I do most of my demos and just finished my first album project at Prime Cut Studio. I keep coming back because the sound quality is as good or better than Nashville's big label studios, and Daniel Dennis' engineering is quick, innovative, and professional. Most importantly, I always have FUN at Prime Cut and that translates into the music!"

» Cory Batten (Writer of Blake Shelton's "She Wouldn't Be Gone" and Chris Young's "Gettin' You Home")

"I highly recommend Daniel Dennis and Prime Cut Studio. We just finished a cd, "Take Me a Ride on the Moon," that is getting rave reviews for sound and design. Daniel caught my attention as producer of Shannon Cain's album. I thought it sounded like the Eagles, and that's some awesome production. He did the design for the script for last year's "Guy Walks Into A Bar..." my double cd concept album. I found him imaginative, intuitive, talented, dependable, professional, and easy to get along with. When I saw his new studio, I knew it would be perfect for the "Moon" project. And affordable.

"Take Me a Ride on the Moon" is a Horse Opry, inspired by Larry McMurtry's LONESOME DOVE. I explained to him that it was a concept album, with a story line, that it needed an 1870s feel... lots of wood and old timey piano sound. What I like about Daniel is that he "gets it." Then he really gets into it. He got into the movie and the book and devoted himself to the project. The guy loves his work and doesn't mind putting in the long days to meet a deadline. He hooked me up with some great musicians and added his own wonderfully innovative percussion and we achieved the sound I wanted. I'm amazed at his technical expertise and at his speed. Even his rough mixes are good. He has a great ear and taste to boot... ya can't teach that. As a producer and musician in his own right, he contributes his opinions and creative ideas. And best of all... he listens.

When the recording was done, he did an incredible job with the design... taking it beyond anything I had imagined. He sent it to Disc Makers and coordinated that process, an invaluable asset. I wound up with a great product at a great price. I'm a happy man. I've been recording albums since the 1970s and this is one of my best. I plan to make lots of music with Daniel Dennis in the future.

"Here’s the process: Call Prime Cut Studio and Daniel will call you back that same day. Ask him about his rates and you’ll smile knowing he can facilitate a dream on a budget. Ask him for his full attention on a project and you’ll find he sees visions about it in his sleep. Ask him nothing and he’ll take care of what you don’t have time to ask.

Daniel exceeds expectations, makes you feel comfortable, and most importantly follows through on his promise. He promises that you will be happy with any and all the details of your project. He will embrace your music, artwork, and web design as his own and make you sound and look as professional as you should.

As a final note and last word, Daniel will take you and your creative concerns seriously, guiding you through the entire process seamlessly and that’s more than you can ask of anyone (even your own family)."
