Civil Audio Recording Studio by Michael Briggs

★ 5 · Jacob Tucker

My band, grey star ghost, just finished recording and mixing our debut album with Michael at Civil Audio. Michael is professional and efficient with your time while still being personable and providing a relaxing atmosphere. He has a fantastic ear and will point out things from an outside perspective that will make your sound better. He's encouraging and complimentary while still at times letting you know if something could be better, which is incredibly valuable because you know that when he's happy with something you will be happy with it. In the mixing and mastering process he works quickly and addresses your feedback directly while also giving his perspective on what will sound best. It is truly a collaborative effort which to me produces the best results. I am super picky about the s

Absolutely fantastic experience with Michael. I came in with a buddy to do drum tracking. Michael wanted to take the time between songs with us to show us the different cymbals he had available and we choose them based on which fit best to the song at hand. He was really super focused on the tasks at hand and kept things moving. 100 percent recommend, he seems super knowledgeable, professional, and his cat is the coolest! Thanks Michael!!

Where to start? Michael Briggs is one of the most professional engineers/producers we've ever worked with- both in skill and in attitude. Michael shows a genuine love, passion, and interest in what he does. During our 4 day session, Michael felt like a part of the band, simply for the fact he CARES! He provided feedback and input with the same amount of care and attention someone actually in the band would provide. He pushed us to our limit because he saw the full vision with what we wanted to accomplish. Michael asks questions, shows infinite patience, and has a consistently positive and inviting attitude. he also works fast!! We recorded two weeks ago and have already gone through the entire editing and mastering process. Album IN-HAND now!! He also makes the best coffee!
