Our Studio


Artists, bands, film directors and voice-over artists choose Oakwood Recording Studios because of our professional product, array of equipment and positive environment.


With multiple rooms and our ground-breaking customizable acoustics design, we can accommodate nearly any type of project. We place an emphasis on comfort, creativity, and hospitality.
At Oakwood, our role can vary widely, from engineers who simply do what we're told to full producers who can provide a depth of creative input. You just need to let us know what you want!

Quality is our first priority!
