LBA Recording Studio

As someone who has NEVER recorded, I was well directed and "coached" patiently through all the processes of recording my album "Gravy Train". Mike Congilosi can listen to ideas, and use his skill to offer good,concrete options and suggestions. He is clear and knowledgable about the costs/benefits of any decisions an artist might make. Mike was/is most adept at using the equipment he designs/chooses to get the optimal results for whatever you might ask him to accomplish. He KNOWS his equipment, which is all first-rate, and can tailor the set-ups to produce the desired texture and feel of the end product. As a guitarist/singer/songwriter, I am nothing but pleased with the overall finished product, especially re:the holy grail of "tone matters most." Thanks, Mike, for the exceptional results.

My experience at LBA Recording Studio was everything I had hoped for and then some. Mike Congilosi II served as the producer and engineer for my 10-song project. As a result, the finished tracks met and exceeded my vision.

What makes LBA Recording Studio special is that it excels equally in three key areas - equipment, skill and talent.

The gear at LBA, much of which has been created and refined by Mike himself, is top-notch. Everything needed to capture the music at the highest audio level possible is right on hand.

And the gear is in the hands of a true professional. Mike has mad skills as a recording engineer. He knows the science inside and out. It’s amazing to watch him work - his highly-trained ears pickup on the smallest nuances in a track.

But what impresses me the most is Mike’s musical vision. As a producer, he brings ideas that really fit the song and enhance it. He challenges you in a positive way and the music is all the better as a result.

In short, creating music at LBA Recording Studio is an awesome experience.
