What Clients Are Saying

“As a professional musician for the last 15 years I have experienced a wide variety of recording studio environments. Every time I have had the opportunity to record with Alex Lockwood at Hermosa Sound Lab (formerly Studio 637) he has made me and my fellow artists feel welcomed and comfortable. Without a doubt, his knowledge, amazing gear, and professionalism has helped us capture some amazing moments. In addition, his mixing and mastering skills are top notch and Alex always executes what I need from him as an artist / producer. I’d highly recommended working with Alex Lockwood and Hermosa Sound Lab!”

“Recording “51/50” with Alex was nothing short of a transformative experience. His exceptional talents, unwavering professionalism, and genuine passion for music make him not just a skilled audio producer, but a true artist in every sense of the word. I am beyond grateful for the opportunity to work with him and look forward to many more collaborations in the future. Thank you, Alex, for making my music sound better than I ever could have imagined. You're truly a gem in the music industry, and I can't recommend you highly enough.”

“What an incredible joy to work with Claire and Alex. I went in to record my audiobook and they walked me through the whole thing. I'd never done any recording before! They helped me with everything from pronunciations to pauses and everything in between. The environment was clean, comfortable and they were so so welcoming and friendly. I've recommended them to many of my peers already. A very sincere thanks to your team there.”
Tina QuinnAuthor
“I’ve recorded a few singles and a live album with Alex. He has even mixed some DIY recordings I’ve done and brought them up to a professional studio quality. He is so professional, dedicated and passionate about his job and ensuring you love the end product. I cannot recommend him more!”
