Want to know what it's like to record with us? Here's what some of the artists have to say about Pappa D's Recording Studio :
"We have used Pappa's room on more than one occasion...Almost immediate as you walk in the door it feels like home...In a recording capacity it is a wonderful environment condusive to making great musical magic....and even outside the recording process (the guys) are some of the most incredible, supportive, accomodating people to work with in this business..Nothing but great things to say."
-Amanda Wilkinson, The Wilkinsons
"Pappa D's is like home to me. It was the first studio I ever had a chance to lay a track in. You meet [the guys] once and you feel like you are part of the family. It has one of the best vibes in a studio that I have ever [had]. All in all, it's a great place to sit back, relax and put some amazing music to tape.
-Greg Bolton, Motion Picture Ending, View "Live at The Empire" below
"Right from the beginning, Pelt knew where we wanted to record the new full length album. We had heard so many good things from friends and other bands. And now we are the band passing the word around and telling people how good (the guys) are at their jobs! Not only did we get what we wanted but the whole environment and experience was amazing. I felt right at home and the dance party never ended. We had good coffee, good dancing, good people and just good times. I was so impressed with the way they treated us and also with their knowledge and experience. As a drummer, they made the drums sound exactly how I wanted them to sound and they really got to know what kind of feel Pelt was looking for. These guys are awesome, funny and treated us really well. I will always remember the recording experience as a good one and will always pass on good words. A big huge THANK YOU goes out to them!"
"I felt very comfortable with (the guys)and was quite impressed with their professionalism overall. Since I am a solo artist, I needed them as studio musicians backing me in two of these songs and I must commend them on their versatility and creativity. I'd certainly recommend Pappa D's Studio to anyone interested in finding the right place to record their music. Thumbs up boys!"
-Jenny Twist ('Heaven Is Home' performed by Karen Twist, 'My Shoes' performed by Greenstar)
"When we first went in to record [our song] we didnt know what to expect, we had never recorded before. They made recording not only fun for us but an awesome experience. The atmosphere is relaxing and you feel comfortable recording. The finished product says it all. We were so happy with our songs that we would love to record there anytime. Thanks guys. "
-Chris Bingham, Negative Attraction
"Pappa D's is a well organized, relaxing place to record. It has to be the most comfortable environment we have ever been to record. (The guys) are truthful and encouraging. They are hard workers...this shows through the job they do with their recordings. A band or an artist may never feel the same hospitality in any other studio in our area, or anywhere else for that matter."
-Jack Shutler, A Silent Scream
"My experiences with Pappa D's Recording Studio have been some of the most amazing experiences of my life. I was lucky enough to be accepted as a Co Op student there for a semester.From my first day there, I learned an incredible amount. I was lucky enough to sit in on several recording sessions. Each session I was absolutely blown away by the atmosphere, the energy, the professionalism, and the comradie that seems to emanate from the studio. I came out of each session, whether it was A Dying Race, Negative Attraction, Jeremyah, or any other artist, with great happiness, knowing that the best possible sounds had been produced, and, above all, that everyone had fun. I looked forward to each day at the studio, knowing it would be something unique.
-Bronwen Weiderick, Pappa Ds CO-OP Student
"I recorded [at Pappa D's] in the middle of 2005 with a band called Ophelia...and several other occassions with other bands, just watching. The environment is absolutely one of the most inspiring ever!Working with (the guys) is like knowing someone your whole life, and then having them ask you to record at their house. They have one of the most musically honest, and creative attitudes. For that I cannot thank them enough.I would definitely go back....wait.....I'm going there today.....oh snap....I'm late! GTG!"
