Brian and I recorded an eight song album in 3 months. Working with him was so easy, relaxed, and comfortable, unlike like any other studio experience I've had! He really takes the time to make sure it sounds right and it's what you want. To him, it's about the end product, not an hourly rate, which is why he charges per song. Not only that, but Brian is connected to some of the best musicians in Nashville (therefore, best in the world) and made my album sound like I spend $50K! I couldn't be more pleased and would definitely recommend him!

I feel so lucky and blessed to have met Brian last year. Shortly after meeting him I felt very confident that recording my new EP would be nothing less than the best. In a year I have worked on two projects with him. He is great at taking ideas that are only half way completed and finishing them with magic. I am so grateful for the work that has been achieved at Monster Studios and I can't wait to add more to my catalog. Great producer, Engineer, musician, friend, and a very hard worker. Much Love!

Brian is engineered and producing my 5 song EP and I can say without hesitation it has been one of the best experiences I've had in a studio. He's a true professional that knows how to get the best performances out of his artists and studio. World class recordings get done at Monster Studios.

I started writing with Brian last summer with another friend of ours, Jasin Todd, from Shinedown. We would record all of our demos the day we wrote the song and then plan to go back to record the final tracks only to realize that the first recordings could not be topped. Brian is a genius at what he does and I always learn something new when I go over there. I can honestly say that after working and interning at a few studios on Music Row, recording at Brian's is one of the best studio experiences I have ever had. He is so comfortable to work with and the studio atmosphere makes you feel at home. I would definitely recommend Brian to anyone that is looking to record.

This is going to sound corny but working with Brian Irwin at Monster Studios in Nashville, TN has been a dream come true. I couldn't have asked for a cooler, stress free, near magical experience! At the recommendation of a mutual friend, listening to his work and from other superb testimonials here on Thumbtack, I took the leap and flew from LA to Nashville to knock out my first EP over a five day stretch. Not only is the studio top notch and super comfortable, being able to record live analog into digital was something I was hoping for and he was a pro at getting the best sound and performance out of myself and all of the musicians involved, which by the way he hand picked and they were phenomenal. That said, he has access to some of the best musicians in town and we all had a blast. If you want to be in a creative space where the folks there are in it for more than just the dough, this is the place. No pretensions and a lot of love. Not to mention there are 18 incredible trees on the property! It's extremely beautiful and peaceful - the ideal setting to cut a record. In my opinion, Brian Irwin is a super cool, down to earth, crazy smart, gifted and well seasoned (and inhumanly humble) musician, producer, engineer and post production whiz. Nicest guy you'll ever meet and fun to work with. From the pre-production and planning to the post-production and mastering, he afforded me the patience and support to help me create with ease while at the same time maintaining a super professional environment and is no nonsense when it comes to getting the job done - on time. He's also very keen on what the music calls for in any given situation and as a producer is very open to and invites direction and isn't at all an ego tripper like so many musicians and producers can be....I'm just sayin'. As a recording engineer, he's super knowledgable, which allowed us to get a lot of work done effortlessly in a short amount of time. The sound quality on my album is crystal clear, warm and turned out even more incredible than I could have imagined. As a first time recording artist, I feel really lucky to have had him as my guide on this project. It was really important for him to know that I left with something I loved and was happy with. I feel this is a unique quality for someone in his position to hold and it made things all the more inspiring to feel that kind of support, right to the end when I was emailing him notes from LA and he was right there with me til I gave him the final green light. Did I mention that his rates are exceptionally reasonable for the quality that he delivers?! That said - I highly recommend any artist fly in from anywhere on the planet to record in this incredible space with this super gifted man. I certainly hope to be able to do it again soon. Kudos!
