  Don is everything I ever wanted in a recording engineer: not just someone who knows how to capture every sound imaginable in a creative and precise way, but also a fantastic guy to sit around with for hours on end while you're making music. I can't wait to get back into Earwig and record with him again, and again.

  I have recorded and mixed two LPs and and a couple extra songs with Don at Earwig. It's a very wonderful experience. Don has a great ear and always has great suggestions. He knows what he's doing and the results speak for themselves. I can't wait to record with him again.

  Don is a rare gem in the music world: the friendly badass. The environment at Earwig is warm and welcoming, and Don is a master behind the desk. He works with speed and confidence. Working with him was a pleasure; he's laser-focused, attentive, patient and somehow keeps track of every little idea you might have when listening back to a take. He even reminded us to take a break to eat, which is easier to forget when recording than you might expect. :) The studio itself is good vibes, from the Twin Peaks entryway to the live room to the mixing desk. Being there feels like you're in on a secret. Don had us all play live together in the same room (with amps in isolated rooms), and being able to vibe off of each other was such a good idea. You can hear the excitement on the tracks. Also, drummers: Don speaks drum. You can talk about the sounds in your head and he gets it. If you've experienced the opposite you'll know how dope that is. The drums already sounded great even just listening back to bare-bones tracks while going over takes. He knows what's up. I plan to go to Earwig for any sessions where I'm choosing the studio and I'm looking forward to the next time I get to hang out there. Can't recommend it enough.

  Earwig Studio was great! I was able to give my best performances in a relaxing and inspiring atmosphere. The room has a great energy and Don has a great knowledge/ears and was a pleasure to work with. I absolutely recommend recording here and can't wait to get back myself!

  Don's great. I've recorded three albums with him. For the first two we recorded fifty songs in about twenty days. His clear-sighted approach (and technical skill) made it possible to record quickly, but also gave us a chance to experiment. As a result he got a variety of great guitar tones and different vocal sounds to suit each song. For the third I wasn't even in the studio with him. Working with my 6-track files and instructions the whole thing was re-amped and mixed with a minimum of fuss. He always works very hard to make everything sound right. And because of his recording and mixing I have the albums I wanted.
