Sound Studios Rehearsal

This place is our go-​to for any of our jam needs, weather you’re planing on inviting some friends for a cool jamming session, or rehearsals before an upcoming gig, it’s a cool place to visit. Nothing is too fancy, pretty old equipment but staff there will get you what you need and all to all, the atmosphere is pretty laid back so you can basically do whatever you feel like, which is kind of fun, especially when you invite those wild friends of yours :)
Price is very decent and very approachable, even in a musician scale :)

Wish I could leave a zero star review these guys suck drove two hours last week only to show up and find out it was «dead» so they closed and didn’t notify us even though we already had a session booked. This week we showed up to a rude employee which after the session was rushing us out the door because «hurry up and clear up I’m tired and want to go home» Ernie the employee was also very open with his coke problem. This place sucks I do not recommend for anyone.

First and last time using this place to practice. Although, the facilities were adequate in that they were clean, safe for a crappy sounding bass amp our room had, my review is based on my experience with one of their employees. I arrived before my group and checked in at the front office. Was asked for the name our session was booked under. The employee with glasses and tight iron maiden shirt proceeded to make fun of the persons name who booked the studio and called them ‘sphincter’ and got a huge kick out of it. When I corrected this individual, he said ‘I like sphincter’ better. Very unprofessional and strike one. Since this was the first time patronizing this establishment and meeting the studio employee, I didn’t feel this was a way you would treat a paying customer. First impressions, right? He then told me which studio we would be in. I told him that it was my first time there and if he could point me in the direction where to go, to which he replied ‘if you know the alphabet, then you can find it… studio C’. Unbelievable and strike two. I let it slide. Having dealt with many a cranky studio employee on many occasions, I just chalked it up to the guy being bitter over a failed music career.
We rehearsed and my buddy on bass used their house amp and cabinet for convenience, as you do. Wasn’t a great sounding amp, but we played through it since it wasn’t that big of deal. Upon load out, my buddy spoke to the same bespectacled, rude individual that I dealt with when I arrived; and he was told it was his bass or the pickups in it and got the total brush off. Strike three.
Because of this employee, we will not return.

The positive:
The gear on the showcase room is really good.
The building is very well maintained with clear bathrooms and nice carpeting.
Once we got a hold of the staff they were more helpful but it was hard having to finding them and asking for things more than once. There were more than a few awkward moments.
They have easy access parking.
The negative:
The acoustics on the showcase room are awful. The roof is too low and the sound of each instrument just overlaps and is hard to listen to each other.
The staff bailed out on us as soon as we arrived for 20 minutes and they were nowhere to be found.
Air conditioner wasn’t turned on after the staff bailed even though they promised they’ll turn it on as soon as we arrived. Then when they came in it was turned on barely. We fried under the lights of the showcase room since we didn’t have access to configure it.
The shameful and unacceptable:
There was a fraudulent credit card charge against the bandmate who booked the room.
All in all, it looks like the owner might need new staff or they simply didn’t like us and didn’t want us to come back by doing everything possible to give a bad impression without looking like they were trying to hard.

I’ve been playing music well over 30 years and been/​rehearsed at many different rehearsal studios… SSR: not the best, not the worst, it’s had better days I’m sure! As a drummer, when you have 1000 different drummers playing on the same kit, heads and cymbals break and they don’t really maintain their gear on a regular level. I’ve had bass drums slipping away because one of the claw rods was bent! (They went and replaced the bass drum after I brought it to their attention!) The staff is cool, they just need to maintain their gear better. (Note: I’m not disrespecting the staff as they do the best they can while trying to keep up with the demands of all the band rehearsing at a single time!)

Best rehersal studio ever, friendly staff and good equipment. It’s always a great time comming here and jamming out.

Great professional rehearsal space. Easy in and out. Nice service.
