» Testimonials «

"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)."

» Duane Deemer

"I really enjoy working with Daniel. He is quick, professional, and an all-around great guy. I most appreciate his creative ideas and confidence in the studio. He always strives to deliver the best sound possible."

» Eve Fleishman

"From the moment I met Mr. Daniel Dennis I felt at complete ease. His easy going attitude coupled with his total professionalism was able to keep the project on schedule and keep me calm during some of the replication processes... I had way too much fun and was sad when we were finished. He made this first experience more than a new artist could hope for and set the bar high for any other studio to follow! "

» Beth Browne

"I flew in from Austin Texas to record at Prime Cut Studio. I have recorded before at another studio, and it wasn't the best experience. From the first moment I walked into Daniel's studio I was completely comfortable, and Daniel was so laid back that I felt right at home. I didn't have to do very many takes to get the sound I wanted because I was so relaxed. Daniel picked up on the feel of my music right away and had some great ideas that went perfectly with what I had in mind. I had such a good experience I'm seriously considering charging some more flights to my credit card so I can come back and record again."

» Mia Zepeda

"Daniel Dennis is an unbelievable individual with a great ear and a whole lot of patience. Trust me your ego is not too big for Prime Cut Studio and your wallet is not to small!!! Anything is possible. Two thumbs way up from me!!!!"

» Bryan Ragsdale

"Daniel was great to work with, we walked into the studio and as soon as we finished loading in we were good to go and started recording immediately. The whole process went flawlessly, the recording went quickly and without any problem. The environment of the studio is laid back, and makes recording not such a stressful process. I would suggest Prime Cut to anyone, from someone who wants to do a simple demo to a full album."
