ROBIN STONE (www.SheLovesYouRecords.com) , a well known Cleveland native and nationally touring artist records her records at CloserLook and has this to say:

“I am so glad I found CLR. My record, “RushMore” has been labeled the best record to come out of Cleveland and that has much to do with this studio and my engineer and co-producer, Tyler Owen. He has the best vintage equipment that anyone could want and he has years of experience in engineering, producing, playing professionally and getting the job done. This is by far an NYC/LA equivalent set up with affordable pricing for indie’s. I am working on a new record there as we speak.”

JOE ROHAN (www.JoeRohan.com), also a Cleveland native, artist, drummer said:

“CloserLook has the knowledge, top–line equipment and expertise to manage all aspects of a recording project from pre-production through the final mastering process. More than that, you’ll experience a genuine commitment to the success of your project. “

CARLOS JONES (www.CarlosJones.com), the most popular reggae act in NE Ohio says:

"I like recording at Closer Look for several reasons: The atmosphere is relaxed and comfortable, and is conducive to being able to get into the creative space that's needed. Tyler is a pleasure to work with because of his easygoing manner, and he knows how to help the artist get the best sound/tracks possible. Being a musician himself, he is intuitive about what you're going after, and can guide, while at the same time, stay out of the way. It's a winning combination."

MIKE FARLEY (www.MikeFarley.com), Singer/Songwriter, Publicist located in Nashville, said this about recording all his drums at CLR:

"Tyler Owen at CloserLook Studios gets the best drum sounds of anyone or any place I have ever recorded at.  Tyler understands that drums are the backbone of a rock recording project and he knows how to lay them down with precision. I also mixed my record "Halfaworldaway" at Closer Look with Mark Owen, who did a tremendous job.  CloserLook is one of the finest recording studios around."

ALEXIS ANTES (www.shelovesyourecords.com), former Odd Girl Out founder/member and Singer/Songwriter said:

Mixing my record with Tyler at CLR was the best decision I could have made. I noticed the tracking for my record did not sound the best that it could and came to Tyler for help. He literally resurrected my album and gave it a warmth and fat tone that it needed to compete with national releases. I am starting my next project there without a doubt.
