DreamSpun Recording Group not only offers the highest-quality mixes and recordings, but we also are willing to work with the artists to help develop them into better musicians. We would like to enable each artist we work with to reach their full potential, so we go out of our way to ensure you have that chance. While most recording studios will record you with no problem, DreamSpun Recording Group takes that extra step in helping to develop you, as an artist, and your project.

Feel free to stop down to the studio (201 State Street, on the corner of State and South Ferry Street) and see the difference for yourself. DreamSpun is the Capital Region's finest recording studio around. Don't settle for below extraordinary, only settle for the best.
ALSO........FOR HIP HOP/R&B ARTISTS
DreamSpun has two very knowledgeable hip-hop producers at out studio who will sit down and create the unique hip-hop beat that YOU want! Aren't you tired of using the same commercially looped or low-quality beats? DreamSpun's producers will sit down with you, to create the exact beat you want. Or you can pick from tons of pre-made custom instrumentals!
