Electrokitty Recording Studio

I had a great experience recording at Electrokitty! Not only is it a great price for the quality and caliber of this studio, but Garrett comes with this price!! Garrett has an amazing ear and it was clear to me after watching him edit tracks that I could trust his ear implicitly and the choices that he made. He really is an amazingly fast and talented editor and studio engineer and his speed and expertise will save you money and time! Garrett made excellent choices in microphones as well. He made everyone feel at ease and comfortable, and had great input musically and technically. I also used their acoustic piano in the studio which sounds amazing. Better than a Yamaha grand I've recorded on at a different studio. I highly recommend this studio!

I have tracked here for almost 20 years and some great hit songs have come out of this amazing studio. Garrett is amazing and knows the board well. Justin Armstrong is the unsung here of many a hit song and is always there to help out. You can put out a hit album here with no problem. Great vintage gear, and great techs.

Back in 2015 I booked a full day session with Garrett, the lead engineer at electrokitty to mix and master a single track of mine that was featured on a radio show. I was on a deadline and asked if he could finish the production within that same day, since the song was already 90% complete and only needed some analog mixing and mastering. Like myself, Garrett was trained in classical music. He is very talented and has a good ear for adjusting levels, which was the primary problem I needed to fix. The only issue I had was that he was not very welcoming or willing to work with me. I ended up paying him $500 for the 6.5 hours full day studio session, which was supposed to be 8 hours of work...but he took an hour and a half to go eat Thai food. When the day was over, I called him that night and asked if he was willing to put in a bit more time to adjust some of the tracks, since they didn't turn out how I had requested. He texted me back saying "dude it's night time, call me tomorrow." I have never had a sound engineer who had this sort of an attitude towards business, and I have worked with people who have grammies by the way. Every time I texted him and asked if he could fix something, he told me "okay but it will cost you another hour." After asking him numerous times, he was willing to adjust some of the levels, which ran me another $200 extra. All in all, $700 to record 6 measures of backup vocals and to mix and master a song that was already 90% complete was sort of ridiculous. I just feel like he was in it for the money, and had really no interest in producing a quality song. I definitely would not recommend this studio.

Electro Kitty is just as purrrfect as it sounds. I recorded here and loved working with Garrett and using all the amazing equipment. They were great with helping me define my vision and I'm very happy with my finished product. Definitely reccommend!

Garrett is an awesome guy! Very honest and straight forward. Appreciated working with him!

Garrett is brilliant. Gear and space are fantastic. Excellent experience all around, will be back. A lot.

This guy wrote a song called Positively Me that would be a hit if anyone with a name put it out. He should sell it for 7 figures. Sounds like something the early Beatles could've done.

Very efficient. Friendly! Extremely skilled! Works great with you! Definitely be coming back! Thank you Garrett!

In 2011, I, an admittedly Jr. level singer/guitarist made three of the best songs on my only album, Gullible's Travels. Yes I know there's also a Sspul Asylum album called that, I didn't know that at the time of release, wan a fight about it? What, Ever! Anyway, my name is Matty O' by the way, the three songs that owner/founder Gary Reynolds and I produced there were, She Forgot, The Cure For Fear, and the only song of mine that got chosen to make money for anything, my Christmas song, Yuletide Lament. Yes you heard that right, thanks to this very studio, and whatever natural talents I may have, and thanks to a site called songtradr.com my Christmas song I made in this studio was chosen for a YouTube/Radio promotion, and I will be receiving my first payment for it's usage in that, this November 15'th!!! Woo hoo!!! Thanks so much Gary, and also his friend Erik who played drums!!! (I'm wicked sorry I've forgotten his last name) Also, not only that, but if the guitar tone on that song sounds huge, it's only because of Mr. Reynold's production of it, since it was actually only a small Orange tube practice amp, which was basically a better version of the Fender Champ, so that in itself is also an Electrokitty accomplishment. Also, my best vocals on my album were definitely on the song The Cure For Fear, and I must make sure to point out, that none of the vocals on my whole record used or required any pitch correction software of any kind. The only effect on the vocals on the entire record was a little reverb, and I'm really proud of that, especially our results on that particular song, which is my sweet Momma's favorite on the album, and she knows what from good about singing, having just reached 72 and still being the best voice in her church choir! Also he has a really sweet Fender Telecaster which was the only guitar on She Forgot, and it played very well, even for having 10's on it, which I usually don't play. I stick to 9's because they help my hands last longer at shows. So yeah, if you're in the Seattle area, or anywhere, and you want to sound better than anybody, go to this studio!!! Thanks so much for reading, and thanks so much Mr. Gary Reynolds and everyone at Electrokitty Studios!!!

I recorded my first album here back in 2005 and I'm recording my second album here again 7 years later. Why am I coming back? First off, the studio has awesome brick wall acoustics and despite being in a basement, it's great for any size band -- unless you're the Seattle Symphony and need like, 100 people in one room... lol... might not really work then. But this little studio's client list includes Dave Matthews and Carrie Underwood. It's freaking cool to say "yeah I recorded where so-and-so recorded." And the owner is incredibly accommodating. If you have special needs while recording, he's happy to oblige or figure out how to make your sessions as special as possible. Really nice homey recording studio.
