Official Atlanta Recording Studio Chosen!

"Open Mic Atlanta has chosen Groove Tunes Studios as the Official Recording Studio of Open Mic Atlanta.  Groove Tunes Studios  is the perfect studio for our open mic musicians," stated Craver, President of OpenMic USA.  "They have years of experience in working with singer-songwriters, as well as major acts. This is where I record all of my music.  If you're looking for the best place to record in Atlanta, you're in luck!  Not only does Groove Tunes Studios deliver amazing quality, they do it for less!"

"The ultimate professional to work with!  Eric Tunison at Groove Tunes makes the recording and studio experience 'comfortable' and if you could ever say something like this is 'easy'...he does it. He is extremely knowledgable, respectful, prompt, and creative,in addition to being a technical expert in engineering and recording. His studio atmosphere is superior and he uses state of the art equipment. He also lends just the right amount (probably whatever the client requests in terms of producing the project as well)...but for me, just the right amount of 'input' to the creativity portion of the project, while remaining extremely respectful of the artist's wishes and ideas.  I started my project elsewhere and after that didn't work out I brought a partially finished project to him. The circumstances were so difficult and yet, he took it and ran with it, making the transition stress-free for me. I am thrilled with the finished product he worked his 'magic' on. Thanks Groove Tunes!!!!"

"A 5 Star General!" "And that is what Eric Tunison is: a "5 Star General" in every sense of the word, and is not an exaggeration. After a bit of shopping around for my second album I ran into Groove Tunes Studios. As Eric is giving me a tour I was sure that I could not possibly afford this state of the art studio equipped with top technology in a superb environment. But I was wrong, not only were the rates affordable but more importantly, a top recording engineer and producer came with it. To me the studio equipment is second to whoever runs the studio. Eric has proven to be top notch from the get go. He is a true organizer, has a unique ability to focus (sometimes in the midst of true chaos), possesses a great ear capable of detecting the undetectable, and is also a great human being capable of providing support and empathy in difficult situations. As an artist I felt that I could rely on Eric 100+percent all the time and afford to extricate myself from everything that was not my singing, playing, or arranging. A true luxury for me! Again, I knew I a had a 5-star general in command of everything else. Not only do I highly recommend him, but I just can't wait to start my next project with GTS next Feb-March. Thanks Eric, for making my dream project all I wanted it to be and without compromising at all!"

"Groove Tunes Studios and Eric Tunison are TOPS!   It's exciting to share that at the age of 54 I have just completed my very first album and I could not have done it without the help of Eric Tunison and Groove Tunes Studios!  Eric is a true professional and led me through the process with great wisdom and experience.  Eric Tunison is a top flight producer and he brought some very excellent studio musicians to the table to help me. The purpose statement for Groove Tunes Studios is "Helping Musicians Sound Their Best!"  Eric really does that for his clients.  I highly recommend Groove Tunes Studios!

For years I tinkered with the idea od having an album to showcase the songs I'd written over the years. As time passed nothing happened and therefore my songs mostly lay hidden in a notebook. That all changed when I met Eric Tunison the mastermind behind Groove Tunes Studios! Eric has served as the friend and mentor that I needed in order to step out and get my music out there in a professional format. I highly recommend GTS to you all! 

"Amazing Experience!  Eric did a great job helping me create a CD. The price was reasonable and the final product great!! He helped me find the best takes, gave me creative advice, and provided the support I needed as a first time professional studio singer. I look forward to working with Eric again in the near future. I highly recommend Groove Tunes and will definitely visit Eric again when I'm ready for my next project."

"I just finished recording my debut CD with Eric Tunison at Groove Tunes Studios. It was a great experience. Eric is a pro in every sense of the word. He knows his craft, has some of the best gear around, and most importantly, he knows music. During every session, Eric leant a creative ear to my songs and made solid suggestions for improvement. I was very impressed with how engaged and committed he was to the success of my project. In terms of efficiency, I tried my best to come to our sessions prepared with my parts “ready to play”. The good news for me is that Eric was just as prepared. With each session, Eric was ready to record as soon as I got set up. We didn’t spend time dealing with computer glitches, cable problems or other sound issues. The studio environment was rock solid, which resulted in a very efficient recording process. I was also impressed with Eric’s connections with other musicians and industry resources in the area. When I decided to include a cello on a couple of my songs, Eric knew the right person for the job. He managed the entire process (no headache for me) and I was thrilled with the results. He also provided solid recommendations for mastering and CD duplication services. At the end of the day, Eric absolutely delivered on his promise of helping me sound my best. I recommend him highly."

"No other studio compares to this one.  After finishing my first CD in a professional studio I want everyone to know about Groove Tunes Studios and my experience there. Before beginning my recording project I visited just about every studio in town. The top of the line equipment in every corner of the place impressed me, but what sealed the deal was the owner/engineer Eric Tunison. As a newcomer to the process he answered every question and put my mind completely at ease, he is truly a person of unlimited skill and patience. 
Eric is not only a master of the actual recording but his finely tuned ears and musical instincts were an indispensable part of the process. He was always able to get exactly the sound I was looking for and quickly. 
All in all, Eric and my experience at Groove Tunes Studios completely surpassed my expectations of recording. There is nowhere else in town that can come close to the quality and affordability offered. If you are in the market to do any kind of recording you need to check out this place first because no one else will compare."

"More than just a Studio!  My experience with Groove Tunes Studio has grown from just me recording my music. I got an amazing friendship out of it too! I had no prior recording experience, so when I came to the studio I didn't know what to expect. I can honestly say that going to Groove Tunes was the best decision I've made yet! I was so impressed with the studio itself, the equipment there is top quality, but the thing that made the most impact was Eric. He really knows what he's doing. Eric has a lot of knowledge in music and will take the time to make you sound your best. Since I’ve recorded at Groove Tunes I feel like I’ve evolved as a musician. Eric has also given me the confidence and motivation to keep writing music. Eric is an overall great person, and with everything he’s helped me with, I consider him part of the family! Thank you Eric!"

"Awesome Experience and Results!!!  After a really bad experience with another local Atlanta Area recording studio and many that would not answer my calls or emails I found Groove Tunes, and more importantly, Eric Tunison.  From the initial phone call to the final Mastering Session, Eric was there, focused on my project.  He helped with everything from finding the right musicians for my arrangement to offering advice on how to make my song better. I have now released my project "Warriors in the Night" dedicated to the Special Operations Community and am getting great reviews about not only the song but the quality of the recording, again directly attributed to Groove Tunes and Eric!!!  I will use Eric and Groove Tunes for the recording of my complete album this fall."

Terri Brumit
Singer/Songwriter

"Wonderful place to record!  My project consisted of 21 songs, 11 jazz and 10 classical pieces with various set-ups and musicians. Eric was absolutely wonderful to work with and his keen ear and commitment to excellence made this project a commercial product. I have more than 20 other professional recording experiences and I have to rate this as my number one. Eric is professional, committed to the craft of sound and a true joy to work with. He works quickly, but with great care. I give Eric and Groove Tunes Studio my highest recommendations."

Maria Kransmo
Professional Singer and Vocal Coach

"The Best By Far. Recording at Groove Tunes Studios was the best experience I could ask for. Not only is it inexpensive, but the quality is amazing and Eric Tunison really knows music. His insight is so helpful and impressive; he really knows how to make you sound your best. I've recorded at multiple other studios in the area and none have sounded as great as the recordings I did at Groove Tunes. I recorded a short EP there and cannot wait to go back and record a full album. This is seriously the best studio in the metro-Atlanta area and I highly recommend it to anyone who has any recording needs. "

(...and this from a follow-up letter a couple of months later...):

"Eric! Thank you so much for giving me a copy of the Kidini CD. My whole family loves it! We can't go anywhere now without my sisters begging to play it in the car. But thank you especially for working with me on my songs. The ones we've done so far have come out better than I imagined. I'm ecstatic about them. You are definitely the best producer/engineer in town. I can't wait to get back in the studio to finish the four songs and start talking about a full album. I can't thank you enough for all the time you put in to help me meet my deadlines. Looking forward to this year! Talk to you soon."

"Awesome work!  I am a repeat customer. Eric and I worked together a couple of years back on my inaugural CD project, so I knew that I could count on him the second time around.

The project took a total of five months from start to finish. I went into the studio once or twice a week and whittled away at my songs one session at a time. At each session, whether we were recording a simple keyboard pad or a full string quartet, Eric was always at the ready with his keen ear and positive attitude.

Some specific things I'd like to mention from this project…

First, the quality of the raw audio we recorded was exceptional. The environment at GTS is state-of-the-art. From instruments to microphones to pre-amps to gadgetry I don't understand, everything is designed to capture the best possible audio signal. Combine that with Eric's skill in Pro Tools HD, and you're setup for success.

Second, Eric's connections with the Atlanta music community really helped during my project. When I needed some string players, Eric was able to make a couple of phone calls and get some amazing musicians. He also recommended one of the top mastering engineers in the city and coordinated with him directly so I wasn't left running CD's all over town.

The bottom line is that Eric's professionalism and exceptional craftsmanship got me the end product I was looking for. If you're serious about your project, go see Eric Tunison at Groove Tunes Studios."

"Great Studio! There are many options available in Atlanta to record music. Groove Tunes is certainly among the best in overall quality and especially in terms of cost. Eric is very easy to work with and has all of the ProTool skills necessary to produce an excellent recording at almost 1/3 the cost of other studios I have used in the area. As a professional musician, I appreciate the accomodations and the ease of recording at Groove Tunes. Definitely a great result at a great price."

Howard Richards

"You can't beat Groove Tunes Studios!  Have you ever wanted to record a CD but didn't know how to get started and felt that it was just too expensive? Well so did I, until I found Groove Tunes Studios in Alpharetta, GA. I had called several studios and discussed my project and my limited budget and just didn't get that comfort level that the studio and I were on the same page. Then I called Groove Tunes Studios and spoke with owner Eric Tunison and right away Eric explained the complete process and how to get the best result for what I wanted to do within my budget. Eric has over 30 years of invaluable recording experience to offer and yet has the patience to listen to what YOU want to do, and how YOU want to do it and then give it to you ! I've nicknamed Eric "Merlin" because he is truly a magician in the studio. My project is underway and I couldn't be happier with the results. If you have a dream and really want to fulfill that dream and keep your costs down, Groove Tunes Studios is the place to make it happen."

"Groove Tunes Turns Dreams Into Reality.  My experience with Groove Tunes Studios, and specifically with Eric Tunison, was one of high class professional excellence! Eric not only did a wonderful job of selecting studio musicians, he also helped me write beautiful vocal harmonies for my music. I now have a first class, electronic "legacy" for my friends, family, and the world. Thank you so much Eric for all you've done; your efforts affixed the finished "oil painting" to my "pencil sketch-songs". I thoroughly appreciate and am joyfully satisfied with the results! Thanks again."

Our recording sessions were comfortable, but efficient, and our finished product is something we're all immensely proud of.

"Section 8 recorded a five song demo at Groove Tunes Studios earlier this year (2007). Eric Tunison is a true professional and very pleasant to work with. Eric's vast experience as a producer and his technical abilities as an engineer took our project to a level we didn't previously imagine possible. Eric is a patient and competent producer. His ability to work with the band to capture the best possible performances from each musician was remarkable. The cutting edge recording gear and relaxing environment at Groove Tunes Studios is amazing. Everyone who has listened to our demo offers endless compliments regarding the stellar production quality of the recordings. Recording at Groove Tunes Studios was fun and the results surpassed our expectations, so Section 8 can't wait for the opportunity to begin our next recording project at Groove Tunes Studios."

"I contracted Groove Tunes to produce a child safety album. Eric's expertise in all facets of the music business was enlightening. The album was completed on time and within budget. The quality of the album was superb. I recommend Groove Tunes and could not imagine that even a multi-million dollar recording studio could have produced a better product."

"Recording my audio book with Groove Tunes was my first experience in a recording studio and is one that I will remember forever. Groove Tunes is definitely a business that I will recommend freely. Eric Tunison was very professional with his services and realistic with his quotes. Each time that I arrived at the studio my area was set up with mic, stand, etc. and we went straight to work. He edited with such precision that my mistakes are rarely noticeable. I am very very pleased with the final product. . . . my dream has come to life in a way I never imagined!!! Thanks Eric!"
