What People say About Us
I was very impressed with the recording session yesterday. It all went very smoothly, extremely quick, efficient and professional and the result sounds absolutely perfect.
I’m currently working on various video projects for some bigger clients and will probably get back to you at a later state for some other recordings if that’s okay.
Thanks and best wishes,
Sabrina Godden
Dear Rod,
Thank you very much for sending the files so quickly and thanks again for the great job, and the superb sound quality.
I didn´t knew the service before – but it works great – It was almost like having Alan at our recording suite (except that I couldn´t see him).
I really appreciate your help.
Hope to hear you again some day.
Greetings from Stuttgart

"Radio Studio Hire is a fantastic place to work. Very often the environment of a studio puts pressure on a presenter to "get in Get out" Rod Lucas and the studio allow time to think, concentrate and perform, Knowing that the experience of Rod and the fantastic quality of the equipment will provide the best possible results"
